Professional Soaker Hose - 50 Foot Length Review

I paid $50 for this while competing products were $20-$30 because I was hoping that it would be longer lasting than typical soaker hoses.It was indeed thick--so much so that it was very difficult to bend.This made putting it in difficult, but with enough massaging I got it into place.I turned it on, and water poured out of the joint nearest the hose bib.This wasn't just a leak--the joint didn't seem to contain any water at all.I was kind of frustrated because it was clear that there was a major gap in quality control, but I was pleased when I contacted the maker (Rittenhouse) and they offered to send a do-it-yourself replacement joint (though only after making it clear that they thought it was not their responsibility).When the new joint arrived, I realized that the new joint was non-rotating, which would make it difficult to screw the hose into the hose bib.I hooked it up, re-bent the hose so it would lie nicely in the garden, and turned it on again.This time, the new joint held, but now water could reach the other (closed) end, where it again poured out as if there was nothing holding it back at all.I tried 4 times to contact the company again, and they did not respond.I finally gave up and threw the hose away.I paid a significant premium for this hose in hopes that it would be well-manufactured (it is made in Canada).However, it turned out to be complete junk, and the customer service was unwilling to fix it.I suggest staying far away from this product and others by Rittenhouse.

Product Description:
Finally, a soaker hose that will water the whole garden! Many serious gardeners know that the water runs out of regular soaker hose long before they run out of the garden. This professional quality soaker hose can water up to a mile in length even with your regular house pressure! The extra thick walls means slower soaking for a more consistent watering. The extra thick wall makes it more durable and therefore less susceptible to breakdown. This is a common problem with the less expensive soaker hoses. 100 foot lengths are available on Amazon as well.
