Overview
Dramm builds this ColorStorm soaker hose from high-grade rubber with thicker walls. Water weeps along the hose instead of spraying out in a jet, and crush-proof nickel-plated brass fittings join it to a faucet.
Slow, deep watering with less waste is the reason to choose it. The manufacturer says the thicker walls end the geyser effect, which cuts the water lost to evaporation. It does one job, so it needs a second hose for anything that requires spraying or washing.
Who it's for
Gardeners who want to water grass and flowers deeply while cutting water use will get the most from this hose, laid in place along a bed. Anyone who needs a general-purpose spray hose or a different length should buy something else.
Pros and cons
- Deep, thorough watering for grass and flowers
- Thicker walls end the geyser effect
- Abrasion and kink resistant
- Crush-proof nickel-plated brass fittings
- Waters in place only, no spray reach
- Fitting thread size not listed
- No care or storage guidance in listing
- Wall thickness listed in unusable units
Performance notes
The thicker rubber walls are what stop the geyser effect, so water seeps out gradually instead of shooting up in a jet. Slower delivery cuts evaporation, which is where the water saving comes from. The nickel-plated couplings resist corrosion and give a leak-proof joint at the faucet end.
