Andrews

Buying Guide: Soaker and Sprinkler Hoses

Sprinkler or soaker use
The Andrews hoses have double tube construction, and the holes can face upward for sprinkling or downward to soak the ground. Switching between the two uses only requires turning the hose so the holes point the way you need.

Choosing a length
The green vinyl soaker hoses come in 30, 50 and 100 foot lengths. The end clip on the 30 foot hose can be removed and reset to shorten the hose for different areas.

Medium duty option
The Andrews medium duty sprinkler and soaker hose is 20 feet long. Measure the section you need to water before ordering so the length you pick reaches it without stretching.
