Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a garden hose, a soaker hose and a weeper hose?
A garden hose is your general watering hose for hand watering or connecting to a sprinkler. A soaker hose lies on the ground and releases water through evenly spaced holes for sprinkling or deep soaking. A weeper hose delivers rollout drip watering along the hose length, helping place water closer to roots in garden beds and borders.
Which hose is best for garden beds and watering close to roots?
For garden beds, a weeper hose or soaker hose is a great choice because it applies water low to the ground and into the soil where roots can access it. Pope Water Weeper options are designed for garden beds and borders, and can be gently snaked to fit the shape of the bed.
Can I connect a weeper hose to a standard tap and hose?
Yes. Pope Water Weeper hoses can be connected to either a garden hose or 13mm poly tube, and include a flow regulator so you can adjust water flow to suit your watering needs.
Do soaker hoses need a certain water pressure to work properly?
Soaker hoses are designed for typical home watering, but we recommend using a pressure reducer and inline filter for best results. Pope soaker hoses list a maximum working pressure of 300kPa.
What hose length should I choose?
Choose hose length based on how far you need to reach from the tap to your lawn or watering zones. For beds and borders, shorter specialty lengths are easier to lay out neatly, while longer garden hose lengths suit general watering around the house and outdoor areas. The collection includes multiple length options across garden hose, soaker hose and weeper hose products.
How can I reduce leaks and get a more secure connection with fittings?
Leaks often come from poor connections at the tap or worn hose ends. Using the correct tap adaptor and snap-on fittings helps create a secure, leak-free connection, and swivel-style connectors can also help reduce twisting and kinks while you move around the garden.
Can I use these hoses with a sprinkler?
Yes. A garden hose can be paired with a sprinkler for lawn and grass watering, while specialty hoses like soaker hoses can also be used for sprinkling or deep watering depending on how they are laid out.
