Eden 94051 Rubber Garden Hose 1/2 in. x 50 ft, DIY Hose Set

I used the Eden hose and sprinkler heads to create a nearly invisible system for my lawn. It runs along the bottom of the stone wall in the photo. I also used the awesome Rainpoint one-zone digital timer and a brass splitter for my spigot (one goes to the regular hose, one is dedicated to the lawn sprinklers. Recommend getting a splitter with long handles on the valves for easier on/off.) I love the Eden products. No leaking, fully adjustable. I thought I'd try the other brand with the yellow tops to save a buck but found they only work with threaded hose ends. With the Eden you just cut the hose with scissors and connect. Really easy and fast. Great value. Now I'm setting up a few in hard to reach areas, and ending them with a hose section that has a quick release fitting on the end so I can attach my garden hose and water those areas easily as needed. Love! Oh, one last tip- I lightly spray painted the heads to blend in using Painters Touch in London Gray. Perfect camo and didn't affect moving parts at all.

Works great. I used this to run a line from a rear faucet, around a screened porch foundation, through lattice to go under back deck steps, to a patio where I have pots for tomato plants, to supply water to soaker hoses on the pots. The fittings attached easily and do not leak. A solid product.

Everyone seems to have leakage issues with these hoses. First, the quality of the hose is decent. I have a big property and lugging around 3/4” contractor quality hose gets to be very old quickly. I wanted something small and lightweight. Tried the cheap 5/8” hoses and they didn’t hold up very long. I have 4 of these hoses, making 200’, and can pull it around quite nicely. Mostly for watering flowers. So it’s not a high volume requirement. The hose is holding up nicely, I attribute it to the quality of the braiding in it. It’s not kink proof, but can’t be at this light weight. I’m an engineer and I took every step to assemble the fittings as perfectly as I could. Used the hose for about 3 weeks, without a leak. Then my helper stepped on the connector at the end when it was hooked to a nozzle. Now it’s deformed and won’t stop leaking and actually blew off the end of the hose. People were asking where to get those fittings, forget those fittings. Just purchase 1/2” barbed fittings, like shown in the photos. The hose is actually 7/16” ID but stretches easily to the 1/2” barb. Now that won’t come off and hasn’t leaked. If not for the fitting issue I would have given it a 5

Building your own needs to water your lawn and garden. Placing sprinklers where you need to water. I was able to run the water hoses though the gardens. Placed the sprinklers facing out toward the lawn. The fittings allow you to run the hose from sprinkler to sprinkler. The fittings do not leak. The 1/2 hose lays flat to the ground and stays put. Great product.

When I have to get water to the end of my yard, I need to use 1/2 inch hose. I’m on a well with a pressure tank and if I use regular 5/8 inch or larger hose, the weight of the water exceeds the PSI ability of my pressure tank. If I use 1/2 inch hose I can get to the end of the yard. If I need to set out sprinklers (as when I’m overseeding the lawn) I need various lengths of1/2 inch hose. This hose meets my needs. The hose ends that come with it are excellent. I usually end up having to augment them with separately purchased hose ends because I often need to cut the hose into specific lengths. I will buy this hose again.

This was an easy and inexpensive way to set up a sprinkler system for flower beds. I first bought the complete 50' set with a timer to see how it worked. It was easy to set up and it functioned well. I then bought additional parts (hose, sprinkler heads and timer) to do the back yard. I live in a town home so this was an ideal way to water the flower beds without spending thousands to install an in-ground system that may get destroyed when the maintenance crew aerates the yards.

Not a great quality hose, but the adjustable length and decent connectors worked for exactly what I needed. No complaints.

I used this hose for 3 weeks before giving up and buying a traditional hose and making that work. This one required daily checking to make sure the hose was still on the fitting. An absolute headache to deal with. Leaked constantly. The plastic fittings are really bad. I'd get it to work for a day or two, then it'd start leaking again. Somedays it'd need maintenance 3-4 times. Build quality: The plastic fittings are terrible. The hose itself was okay, but I had to cut the hose each time I needed to re-seat the fittings, because the hose part of the hose that was previously fitted would be too worn. Durability: Non-existent. If the hose bends at all, the fittings will leak and require re-seating. After 3 weeks, one of the fittings would no longer re-seat without leaking constantly. I originally bought this because I wanted a specific length of hose for an auto-water dog bowl outside. Living in Arizona, the less hose you have in the summer heat, the faster the water coming out of the hose cools down. Instead, this hose would pop off the end fittings and I'd waste tons of water as it just poured out of the spigot on the side of the house, until the next time I went outside to check. I had to babysit this hose. Just go to your local hardware store and either buy proper traditional fittings, or save the money and buy a standard hose. I ended up buying a 50ft hose for $16 and wrapping the excess coil of hose in a blanket to keep the sun off of it. I wish I did that in the first place, because this product was a waste of money.
