 a good hose but only if you're careful Jun 14, 2009
By Grand Shopper
This is a good hose and just what I need for a long section of the yard. It's pretty to watch the water plume about; and the birds like it. BUT, when turning on the water, the water must be turned on slowly to allow each of the three tubes to inflate. Each time, turn the water on slowly until the hose has time to properly expand. That way, the holes won't enlarge. Also, after turning the water on slowly, increase the pressure just enough to water the area without putting too much pressure on the holes. This hose is indeed a cheaper hose; but it seems to be one of the only ones available these days. Good luck with this hose, which requires a slow and patient hand.
UPDATE-the hose has sprung several leaks; so even when you're careful, this hose is inadequate. If a company goes to all the trouble to produce a product, why not go ahead and do a good job. This hose is a waste of effort, resources, time, and money.

 works/with problems Jun 28, 2008
By M. Tollefson
I really liked this hose at first and actually ordered another one. After about 2 weeks of use however, the little holes at the beginning of the hose started getting bigger from the water pressure. Now I have to watch for the position of the hose because it's spraying a much wider area now at that point. I would imagine that those holes will continue to get bigger and then the rest of the hose won't receive enough water to make it useful.

 Huge holes form at beginning and end of hose within 2 days Jun 08, 2008
By Jon
"J"
The hose started out working great, but within 2 days a few of the holes at the beginning and end of the hose got so large that they cause flooding near those areas.

 Works for a month or so Jul 18, 2008
By M. Reite
Worked fine for the first month and a half then developed holes that sprayed large areas and reduced the pressure in the rest of the hose so they no longer sprayed an even pattern.

"Drippy" Hoses Nov 24, 2008
By R. Heise
I have been using Gilmour 3-tube soaker/sprinkler hoses for a number of years with moderate success. I recently purchased 20 more 50-foot soaker hoses to replace some old ones. About a third of the new hoses immediately developed large holes near the connectors where the three tubes are cut to form a single tube to attach to the connectors. If the hoses make it through the first use, they seem to be OK. Gilmour needs better quality control in their manufacturing process.
