FAQS

How does a microporous hose pipe work?

As its name suggests, a microporous hose consists of tiny pores along the length of the hose. This allows the water to escape slowly along the length of the hose, and ensures that the water gets absorbed by the roots effectively and goes into fewer places where it would typically just quickly evaporate. Soaker hoses actually make watering plants far more effective and require less maintenance and observation than traditional systems and sprinklers.

How long do you leave the microporous hose pipe on for?

For soft landscaping, 30 minutes is typically enough watering time to allow a microporous hose to work its magic.

What will block a porous pipe?

There are two major concerns regarding microporous pipe blockages:

  • Hard water - the way to remedy this is to bury the pipe to avoid the sun from drying it out. Alternatively, using a Polar purification magnet can help prevent calcium deposits.

  • Dirty water - the remedy to this is to use a setting tank or a water filter

What do I do if I think I’ve blocked my Microporous Pipe?

This is rare, but if you think this has happened, then soak the pipe in a bucket of water with diluted vinegar. This should unclog the pores and remove any built up limescale or other elements.
