Porous Pipe & Fittings
Porous pipe (aka Soaker Hose) is easy to use and can be installed quickly. A favourite with many gardeners, this is a go-to choice for quick automatic watering installations. Made from recycled rubber and polyethylene, it is extruded so it is porous along its entire length. When in use, water sweats out in small beads of water and gently drips onto the ground.
Recommendations for use: Use in small lengths (5-20 metres) and up to 50 metres total in a single zone. Take into consideration that porous pipe is not pressure-compensating and can give an uneven release of water along its length (higher pressure at the start of runs pushes out more water).
