can I use the weeper hose hooked into my sprinkler system and run it for 3 minutes 3 times and have it water enough for my plants. I had a soaker hose but in 3 minutes is was only damp and not enough water for the plants will this do the same.

I have been using the Gilmour weeper hoses exclusively for over 5 years. Depending on the plant and time of year, I run the hoses on Gilmour timers for 5 - 10 minutes every 2-3 at nights. This has been successful for both my flowers, plants and vegetables. There is no lost water from wind as it all stays on the ground. the hoses form nicely around the plant bases with no wasted water.

I ordered the attachment to hook up to a water hose...However I just fill it with a Sprinkler can every other day...not a big problem.. I could hook it up sometime..but for now I am happy.

I did not try. I have a large garden and stay very busy once it starts yielding. I have always gotten a long life out of garden hoses. My son-in-law tried to fix. He has one and was able to tighten the connection end of the hose. He was not successful with mine. I actually forgot about this hose since my father also tried to fix the hose.

Hi, This system is designed for only low flow as it says in the item description like veg garden for best results only for shorter distance. I got it for my garden to attach one of the sprinkler head so that my garden gets water. I guess you need one step higher may be.

I made the attempt but it doesn't work very well at all not enough water flow for the pressure washer. I ended up connecting the regular hose and it worked fine with it. I do use the pocket hose for watering plants outdoors and washing the vehicle. I like that it will not kink and it's easy to maneuver around with it being so lightweight.

No, this valve connects to a sprinkler pipe (pipe threads). It is used for drip lines to water up to 8 plants or bushes at the same time. You can also adjust each of the drip lines to feed more or less water depending on each plant or bush 's needs. It is a very good valve for the money. I hope this helps you, Jerry W., Moreno Valley, Ca.

My hose sprayer works when my diverter is not in use. Did your sprayer work before attaching the diverter? Perhaps the mechanism inside of the faucet, that diverts water to the hose sprayer, broke?? Maybe it is just coincidental that it happened after attaching the diverter?? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I tried it with 1/4 inch and there is not enough pressure to go more than a few feet. I wanted to do my raised garden. Spent a lot of time piecing it together and the connectors broke as I was setting it up, then it did not work after the first 3-4 feet. I took it apart, plugged the sprinklers into 1/2 inch and was good go to.

my experience is that it does not work very well with low water pressure when there is too many sprinkler. But I guess it should work well if you are using dripping systems.

Yes, you can use a sprinkler until the hose breaks. I highly recommend not buying this hose

Yes to both of your questions! It also has a feature called cycle and soak, which will divide your total run time up into smaller cycles, giving the soil time to absorb. A great feature for getting the most watering out of your water restriction days. Since you are only running two or three days a week, you'll just set your run times higher then you would if you were running every day. That way when the software adjusts down for weather, it's not decreasing your watering too much. We love ours so much!

I believe so, yes. But as I said in my review, mine (both of them) only lasted one use and then sprung several leaks, so it may work with a sprinkler, but it may not work more than once or twice.

I am not 100% sure. BUT I know that the outlet by the garden has so much pressure we've busted a splitter and a lead hose, yet the timer unit has been fine. We've replaced 2 valves that leak. The valves seem to open all they way, we do have a limit on how many soaker hoses we can feed on each one as it gets light towards the end. I am not sure this helps you.

The weeper hose I bought was so poor working that I quit using it altogether. The water does not flow evenly, no matter what they say, especially the longer ones. If I were you, I would not buy this hose at all.A drip system is much better, but also more expensive. Hope this helps.

I have one zone with a small drip setup for my potted plants. It only runs for about 4 min. Once a week. So far no problems.

In response to your question you would need to make a stronger liner on the hose. All I was doing was hooking it up to the water and moving around on my cement driveway with it to water the plants. I had purchased four hoses and one hose lasted two days the second hose lasted three days and I decided to return the all. It's a great idea but definitely needs some more work.

I used it to connect from a battery operated watering timer device to two garden hoses. It works great! The device connected to my hose bib spicket and the splitter to the timing device. You should have no problem. I recommend this diverter. It seems to be made with quality.
