Raindrip 052050 0.5 In. X 500 Ft. Poly Drip Watering Hose

I ordered this product to add a new section of irrigated garden space. I normally buy from a commercial distributor, but found this at a great price, and it arrived very quickly. The tubing is sturdy, but still bends easily as it is installed. My only issue is the inside diameter is slightly smaller than other brands I've used over the years. hat made using connectors that have to be forced into the end of the tubing a little difficult. When working with the product outside on a hot day, I could leave the tubing out in the sun and it made it a little easier to use, but when the tubing was cold, it was a bit of a struggle to insert connectors. When installing emitters, I found they inserted into the side wall of the tubing just as well as other brands, and I've had no issues with leaks, from connections or emitters or taps inserted into the sides. We're half way through summer here, and the product has help up perfectly. I can still recommend this tubing, but would suggest using it while the temperature is hot, or at least have a bucket of hot water on hand to warm the ends up to allow connectors to be inserted easier.

Quality tubing, nicely packaged, came intact with no bends or anything. I bought the 500 feet because of the cost not that I needed that much. I can store it for later if I ever need some.

I purchased this tubing to build a solar pool heater. It arrived quickly and the first thing I noticed was that it was just kind of coiled up in a big roll with straps holding it together. Upon cutting the straps I was halfway expecting 500 feet of hose to spring out and go everywhere, but it stayed put for the most part. Untangling the mess and getting the knots out proved to be a real challenge. Trying to coil the tubing flat on a sheet of plywood was impossible. I ended up untangling the tubing and laying it back and forth all across my yard in the sun to hopefully get it warmed up and "relaxed" a bit. That did help, but it was still a pain to work with. I don't think it would ever lay flat on its own, and I ended up having to zip tie it down to the plywood several times in each loop. Because the walls are so thin, if you try to bend it too much (in the tight inner part of the circle) it just kinks. And once it kinks, it just stays that way without any hope of getting it back to normal. Not ideal but I ultimately made it work, and it has helped warm the pool a few degrees!

I ordered. It came fast. The box was way big. The mail lady couldn't get it in her car. I had to travel about a mile to pick it up. I'm happy. I almost didn't buy because of negative reviews. People complained that it got tangled up when they took the straps off the roll. They said they had trouble with fittings not fitting.Pretty simple really. Just be sure to buy the fittings with green color coding. Let it sit in the sun before you work with it. I actually kept the roll strapped together so it wouldn't get tangled. Drip system works great.Was easy to work with. Would buy again, but I'll probably die of old age before I need more.!!@!!

nice size
