I just need a couple short hoses to water three trees. I was going to put on a three way connector with shut off valves so I could water one at a time or if possible all three going. I am tired of these long hoses all over the place. Would this work?...

I think so! I use mine out front with a long hose to water grass a short hose to water the flowers on a dual connector. Also i use a timer on the long hose! Good luck!

If I understand your question, you want to use 3/8" tubing to attach the misting system to the water supply. If this is the case, you will need fittings to attach the tubing to your water supply, hose bibb or the hose itself which is standard hose fittings and a fitting for the end of the tubing that you want to attach the misting system to. This fitting will also need to attach to the tubing and attach to the misting system which is standard hose fitting. These fittings can usually be found at Home DePot or Lowes, etc. Hope this helps.

Yes. You may need a coupler to connect different size hoses, which is what we did.

Yes, you can connect multiple soaker hoses together. I have some connected in my garden right now, brands mixed and matched I've collected over the last few years, and it works fine. I used the plastic end cap to close off a leaky spigot until I can get it fixed, it fits.

You put in as many as you want and as close as you want. There is short and tall adapter....I use all tall. The hose has no holes in it until you add spray tip. I have them in all my gardens and now my neighbors do too. You can keep in all year around. There is cap on one end you take off in winter so water can drain. One set we have had for four years. One thing to remember, if you have plants who do not like lots of water, make sure and do not install tip that close to the plant. As you can see, I love, if you have additional questions, please advise.

Yea, I'm not sure why it's worded like that but I have 5 stations around my house and use only one watering program. I'm sure if you wanted a creative watering schedule you could do it with tis thing.

Peter: As I am not a chemist and given the importance of what type of material potable water will be flowing through, I would strongly recommend contacting Gilmour directly. I am sure they would be more than willing to insure your drinking water safety by advising exactly what material the connectors are made of. I can tell you that I own a couple of pair of these fittings and they work flawlessly. I am using them on a 3/4" garden hose into a 3100 psi power washer and to which the added flow has made a significant performance difference. No issues what-so-ever.

Not a good idea, if there was an attachment. There is a rubber attachment for a garden hose (several sizes) that uses water pressure. It has worked for me. Try a good hardware store.

It would work, yes, but it is shorter and more expensive than a normal garden hose. If you only have a small area to cover, however, and don't want to put up with the bulk of a longer hose, it would work fine. If you have a larger garden, however, it would make more sense to buy one normal garden hose than several of these. It is also safe to drink from, so if you plan on using it this way, it is made to be (reasonably) safe to drink from, whereas a normal cheap garden hose is not recommended for that use. Part of the reason this hose is more expensive is due to using materials that won't leach chemicals into the water, as an ordinary cheap hose will.

No, since I've never seen the hose I figured I would just ask if it would work. I thought possibly I could just run the water through the hose to fill the container. Our water is terrible and although double filtering sounds unnecessary, I figure it can't hurt.

I've never tried, but I don't see why two couldn't be connected. There would be a straight area between the coils where the connectors are. Be aware that although this is a 50-foot hose, the coil doesn't quite unwind all the way and you will have less than 100 feet if you combine them. Also, have you considered how you will store it? I keep my one hose coiled up in a large flower pot and there is very little tangle, but I'm not sure how I would keep a double unless it were laid out straight behind the shrubbery.

I have no information on whether you can safely water your plants with this hose. My feeling is that you should never buy another hose like this one.....it is a scam. Lousy plastic fittings, leaks profusely after a few weeks and there is NO WARRANTY.

Same answer as the other 2, you can always get a 3/4 " threaded nipple and use that to attach the hose to, you just will not have a shut off .

That didn't work in my case. I went with a 2 way shut off valve (find them in the garden center of your local box hardware store)

I'm not sure what to tell you on this, sorry, I thought it would work for a shower hose; which is what I bought it for, but it seems like it's for an outside hose. This question sounds like it might have to addressed to a plumbing contractor, or someone like that. I'm sorry I couldn't help and have a nice day. Thanks for asking anyway.

You'll find reducers/connectors from garden hose to 3/8 at many hardware stores. Use that reducer/connector to solve your issue...easy

this is the right one for you then. Some people are buying this one to go to a bulk tank directly, then they have to buy an adaptor for the tank side, which is dumb because they make another hose that fits the bulk tank.. The fitting is larger on the bulk tank. The fittings off of your tree should be the same size as on your stove, correct
