product information

Soaker Hose

is a sub surface irrigation

system. It is a porous flexible

rubber pipe which sweats

when placed in soil, where it

acts as a wick. The capillary

action of the soil draws

water from the pipe, which

replaces water used by

trees, plants, crops etc.

This action delivers water,

oxygen and nutrients

uniformly through the soil

directly to the roots

Pressure Fed or Fast Leak

Soaker Hose from Aquarius Manufacturing Ltd is now available in Regular pressure fed for use from a tap and Fast Leak for use with Tanks and Water Butts. It is recommended that the water containers are placed at a height of between two and four feet off the ground dependent upon how much pressure is required. For a slower flow, place the tank nearer to the ground. The higher the tank, the greater the pressure of water going into the Soaker Hose but also remember higher the tank, more water will be used faster. Unroll Soaker Hose 24 hours prior to use as this will allow the micro-perforations to open up slightly after being tightly coiled.
