Patent Pending Weeping Hose for Rain Barrels

Regular drip irrigation hose requires a minimum of 2 PSI to fuction. NOT this drip hose! It is designed for NO pressure systems like gravity fed rain barrels or water dripping out of the air conditioner condensation drain pipe.

The Catch a Drip™ moisture hose is a new Patent Pending hose designed specifically for gravity based drip irrigation. This soaker hose allows the water to weep out via a sweating action.

You should always try to place your seeper hose under the mulch. Less water will evaporate.

Tiny perforations allow water out via a sweating action
More porous then standard drip irrigation hose
Flexible black weeping hose
Available from 20 to 50 feet lengths
65% recycled tire rubber and polyethylene.
Fits standard garden hose shut-off valve, and 1/2 or 3/4 inch Air Conditioner PVC pipe

Choose this alternative method of irrigating your plants without sprinklers. Bury this weeper hose just below the mulch layer.. Constructed of recycled tires and vinyl, they hold up great.

As the name suggests, the water seeps (or weeps) from the pores of this hose and waters directly at the root level when buried. No burnt leaves from overhead watering, no wasted water going on patios and driveways, less water lost to evaporation.

Aquabarrel offers the Catch A Drip Weeping Hose in 20', 30', 40' & 50' lengths. All weeping hoses sold by Aquabarrel.com include an adapter for a standard garden hose.

For new seedlings lay the hose along the seedling line and don't double the hose back. For larger, more mature plants you may want to coil it around the base of the plant.

A lot of plants need an average of 1 inch of water per week. So how do you tell how much water your plants are getting from your weeping hose? Here is a simple experiment you can perform. Get a tuna fish can (clean, empty, ready to be recycled) and connect your weeper hose to a full rain barrel. Stretch out the weeper hose and place the tuna can anywhere along the length of the weeper hose. Open water valve and note the time. Check back often to review the filling of the tuna can. Once the tuna can is filled (about one inch in depth) you now have a good idea as to how long it takes to accomplish your goal of placing one inch of rain water at the roots of your plants from your full rain barrel.
