A soaker hose only works properly if the water pressure to the hose is about 10 psi (pounds per square inch). Most home systems are around 50 psi. You need a pressure reducing attachment at the beginning of the hose and they are seldom included with the hose
THE NEXT THREE REDUCERS DIFFER IN THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THEY WILL REDUCE - 10 PSI, 25 PSI, OR 30 PSI.
3/4" Hose Thread Pressure Reducer 25 PSI
by Hendrickson
- 3/4" FHT x 3/4" MHT preset pressure reducer
- Reduces the pressure entering the drip irrigation or soaker hose system.
- Use with other garden hose thread fittings.
- Pressure reducers require at least 0.5 GPM flow to accurately regulate pressure.
3/4" FHT x 3/4" MHT preset pressure reducer. Reduces the pressure entering the drip irrigation or soaker hose system. Use with other garden hose thread fittings. Choose the appropriate preset PSI rating for your application. (normally 25 PSI for tubing and 10 PSI for tape) Special note: Pressure reducers require at least 0.5 GPM flow to accurately regulate pressure. If you intend to measure the water pressure after this reducer, please ensure that water is flowing through the system at >= 0.5 GPM before taking the measurement.
