Gilmour Sprinkler/Soaker Hose

You do not need to switch modes manually. The hose is designed to function as a soaker when laid flat with the holes facing down, and as a sprinkler when flipped with the holes facing up.

Yes, this hose features standard threaded couplings that allow you to connect it to another hose. However, keep in mind that connecting multiple lengths may reduce water pressure at the end of the line, which can affect the consistency of the spray.

Yes, it is designed for deep-root watering. Placing the hose under a layer of mulch is actually recommended, as it helps reduce evaporation and keeps the water focused directly on the root zone.

This hose performs best with low to moderate water pressure. If your home's water pressure is very high, you should turn the spigot on only partially to prevent the hose from spraying too aggressively or potentially bursting.

It is an excellent choice for vegetable gardens. By delivering water directly to the soil rather than the leaves, it helps minimize the risk of fungal diseases and ensures consistent moisture for your crops.
