Presoak Hose

[Kevin James]

I need to replace my 3/8" plastic Presoak hose, you look at it sideways and it'll break. It's not colored, it's kind of a natural looking plastic. What does everyone recommend?

I use3/8" OD black Nylon tubing, not poly. Nylon should last at least 20 years, and black will resist breakdown from UV.

Thanks, I think it's about 40 years old. where's a good place to buy the 3/" black nylon tubing? Will be affected up in the attic by the UV rays?

It won't be affected by UV at all even if it's strewn across the roof.

Last time I got some I had to order it through a distributor. Freelin-Wade N11 3/8" OD black. It's pricey but about a third the cost of hose.
