Dramm ColorStorm Soaker Garden Hose

A standard hose is designed to spray water, whereas this soaker hose is engineered to weep water slowly along its entire length. It is specifically meant to be laid on the ground within your garden beds to deliver moisture directly to the root zone, rather than watering the foliage.

The 50% thicker wall prevents the 'geyser effect,' which is common in cheaper soaker hoses where water sprays out in forceful jets rather than seeping gently. This ensures the water stays exactly where you need it—in the soil—rather than misting the air or wasting water on pathways.

Yes, you can connect multiple ColorStorm hoses end-to-end if you need to cover a longer stretch of your garden. However, keep in mind that water pressure may drop slightly at the very end of a very long chain, so monitor the output to ensure even saturation.

While the hose is durable and built to last, it is best practice to store it out of direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods. This helps preserve the integrity of the recycled materials and prevents the hose from becoming brittle over time.

No, this hose is designed to function efficiently with standard residential water pressure. Because it is a soaker hose, you should turn your spigot on only partially; a low, steady flow is all that is needed to achieve the desired weeping effect.
