Setup Instructions

1. Uncoil the Hose: Carefully uncoil the soaker hose from its packaging.
2. Connect to Water Source: Attach one end of the soaker hose to your garden spigot or main garden hose. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks.
3. Position the Hose: Lay the soaker hose along the base of plants, in garden beds, or wherever targeted watering is desired. For optimal water distribution, ensure the hose is laid as evenly as possible.
4. Extend Length (Optional): If more length is needed, remove the coupler cap from the end of the soaker hose and connect another soaker hose using its plastic coupling. Securely tighten the connection.
5. Burying (Optional): For discreet watering and to further reduce evaporation, the soaker hose can be buried just below the soil surface. Ensure the hose is not kinked or pinched when burying.

Operating Instructions

The Yardworks Soaker Hose delivers water slowly and directly to the root zone of plants, promoting deep root growth and minimizing water waste.

• Water Pressure: The hose is designed to operate effectively at typical residential water pressures. Avoid excessively high pressure, which can cause uneven soaking or damage to the hose. The maximum working pressure is 180 PSI.
• Watering Duration: The ideal watering duration depends on soil type, plant needs, and climate. Start with shorter durations (e.g., 30 minutes to 1 hour) and adjust as needed. Observe the soil moisture to determine if plants are receiving adequate water.
• Water Conservation: By delivering water directly to the roots, this soaker hose significantly reduces water loss due to evaporation and runoff, making it an environmentally friendly watering solution.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically check the hose for any blockages or debris in the pores. If necessary, gently clean the exterior with water and a soft brush.
• Storage: Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the hose. Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan. Coiling the hose neatly can prevent kinks and damage.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Address any issues promptly to maintain optimal performance.
