Customer Reviews for Toro Blue Stripe 1/2 in. x 500 ft. Drip Tubing

I like the Toro Blue Stripe drip line hose better then the no brand. It's stronger and lasts longer.

Toro doesn’t seem to make (or at least sell) fittings such as elbows and T’s for this distribution line. Had to buy Orbit lock fittings which work well, but they can be hard to find in stock. Line kinks easily, but I’m not sure if that’s typical of the 1/2”. Mostly bought this because it’s food safe, but if I had to do it again I’d probably go with DIG or another brand.

Works great and always great quality from Toro

last much longer than dig drip tubing --

I use this around ALL of my trees, watering as close to the tree dripline as possible. Great product. I use the 1/4" version for smaller trees/bushes and veg garden applications.

High quality irrigation tubing

It worked for its intended purpose. You do have to be very careful that you don't kink it during a bend. If it kinks it is hard to get it not to kink in that same spot.

Fast delivery. Product arrived safely and as described. Blue line is sturdier and more UV resistant than other hose we've tried.

I have installed well over 3,000' of this tubing and it has performed flawlessly. Very dependable and the Home Depot price is second to none.

When you unroll it, unroll it. Not off the side. Unroll and it lays flat. Good product. No problems. Only tubing I could find that actually states the amount of carbon black incorporated for solar protection.

Just keep buying this stuff, as great for irrigation and I just keep adding new plants all the time

I bought the 500' roll to go all around my backyard from the front side yard valves I installed. It was a huge problem to unroll because the tubing remembers how it was rolled up and will not straighten out. It will uncoil but it wants to kink when you straighten it out. This was in the summer when it was hot and warmed up. I installed a pressure reducer (25 psi) and buried the tubing 2-3" below the surface. It has sprung leaks many times because the tubing cracks, maybe from the places where it kinked when unrolling it. It is not dependable. You have to cut out pieces and buy the connectors to repair the areas where it cracks. I am tired of fixing it and will probably replace it with PVC pipe and only use it in short pieces, if at all, from the PVC pipe. It is spec'd at 160 PSI, but don't believe it. Don't trust this tubing. It has not frozen here in Phoenix either and have turned off the water when it gets near freezing. It deserves 0 stars!

I wanted a product that would deliver water to my plants without waste. I decided that the Toro system would be best. I purchased this larger roll of tubing so that I would have plenty as my gardening skills expanded. The tube is lightweight and seems be durable. It covers easily with mulch. Adding tubing with the connectors is very easy. This system has enabled me to be busy with work and then come home to vibrant, healthy plants.

Good, quality made product. I like that it is 1/2" and that it drips 1 gallon per hour, otherwise would get tubing with emitters at shorter intervals

arrived on time works great rolled out and installed in minutes

I purchased this to replace a similar but inferior product after using it in a different location and seeing it outlast the others. Who wants the extra work of replacing blown hoses? NOT ME

super fast delivery and a great product that i couldn't get unless i travelled a long distence

This solved my raised bed and long box planter problems. My only hope is that there is eventually a hose with nine " or even 4 " holes to correspond with planting distances. Right now I have to double back and it dosen't do that easily.

The product itself was a good deal and what I can use it works very well. Make sure you check the rolls for holes. I ordered 5 rolls and one of the rolls had holes in the outer layer. I didn't realize it till I cut it and hooked it up. I over ordered, so it was no big deal. I'm using it for a solar heater for my pool. It is definitely worth the price for the over all quality.

This product does have great features, the white line in the tubing keeps my water orifices in a straight line as I lay them out per plant in my garden...Thank you

The pipe works great. It is thin so be careful not to let it kink when turning corners.

Quick delivery. Great price. Saved money by not using so many connectors on shorter length tubing.

I plant hundreds of trees and berry bushes for animal cover each year. Very easy to roll the tubing along the tree lines, stake it down, and then puncture for drip emmiters. Not as thick as other brands so don't try to bury it; above ground only. Not stiff enough for external T connections, but holds tight to the internal tubing connectors. Hose connections hold tight.

This product is very plasticy. I have another soaker hose that lays nice and flat and neatly. This one would barely unroll. I would not recommend it.

This was the best price i could find for this hose and I was delighted with the quality when it arrived. We needed a lot and so I ordered the cheapest I could find on the internet. Wish I had ordered 500 more feet.

I bought this to use with the solar heater for the pool. It works good, but getting it set up was a pain. The tubing was impossible to untangle-after an hour and a half, I cut it to untangle it. It did kink, more than once, in several spots, and is not-so-durable when pulled around even a dull corner; it tore in a couple of spots. It is not as flexible as I had hoped.

I'm using this with two old patio doors to make a solar heater for my swimming pool. Looks like a good quality product.
