HOZELOCK - Micro Irrigation Hose ø 4mm 10 m: Highly Flexible, UV-resistant, Carries Water to Drippers/sprinklers, Can be Buried [2772P0000]

Made sure while away on holiday that the outside plants in pots were ok. This system worked well while we were away.

This hose is less elastic than the hose you get with the micro irrigation kit and so the connections are more prone to leaks. So ok for a long run, but not as good for lots of junctions / connections.

Don't bother with the cheaper alternatives, they're more trouble than it's worth. I'm in the process of replacing the cheap rubbish with this from the Hozelock store because it just works.

n essential part of a hozelock irrigation system, this 4mm tubing takes water from the supply pipe to the spray nozzles. It's sturdy stuff, with a pretty thick wall. I've accidentally hit some of the pipes with a petrol strimmer and it's stayed in tack. It's readonably flexible too meaning you can run it discretely out of the way and it won't try and coil back up, sitting in the middle of the floor.It's more expensive than some of the otehr brands that claim compatability. I've tried the Aldi own-brand equivalent and the difference in thickness of the tiube wall is reallyu apparent - the Aldi stuff feels shinier and perhaps a little thinner. Overall the impression I got is that the Hozelock stuff will last a lot longer. Only time will tell.

This micro hose is good and robust. I have tried a cheaper one from another provider but it was rubbish (from China!). Stick with the tried and trusted.

Works nicely, has not started dripping/leaking after 18 months of use. Flexible rubber pipe does harden over time and after a year, you'd probably have to replace lengths of it rather than, say, cutting it to add a new plant watering tap.

Pleased with this purchase

This is so useful, easy to use, why has it taken me so long to realise I needed this. I ordered extra line to go right around the garden to all the pots. Cant wait for next summer, it will save all that watering and can now go away without worrying what plants will survive by the time we get back.
