if you cut the hose, it sounds like you have to re fit the one end with hose repair that adapts to the next section. the ad says 1/2 hr put together

Thank you for writing with your question. The entire Garden Row Drip Irrigation Snip-n-Drip Soaker System can be set up in less than 1/2 hour. The cut ends of the soaker hose are closed off with end plugs. The cut ends of the garden hose can be connected quickly with the included 3-way hose couplers. Best Regards, Nita Gardener's Supply Company

it started leaking & then the inner pipe cut from one side. there is a technical fault in the expanding hose. I have send email to you before three weeks asking if there is away for repairing it but no answer

The internal diamater of the hose needs to fit over a peice of 3/4 pipe, go to home depot and take a peice of 3/4 pipe over to the hoses and buy the one that fits over snug

Steve. Upon close inspection, I would have to say no. The real problem with be with the hose end connections. They are both two part connectors. The outer portion is threaded and is female. Then you have the inner portion that has an "O" ring and is a male. I just don't see changing it out unless you were to keep the hose ends. The hose is about 3/8" diameter so I can foresee way too many problems trying to accomplish your task.

I didn't read the part that the hose should be so many inches shorter than the pool. So we cut the hose and it has worked right ever since.

Sure is -Update 8/2/14 - These leaks can be fixed. Went to Lowes and bought a small plastic fitting and 2 small hose clamps. With a pair of scissors I cut out about 1 ft on either side of the leak. I inserted the fitting, placed the two hose clamps and then secured the open area with duct tape to cover the entire opening.Works fine again for $1.50! Bought two more because I love them.

There are only 2 hose fittings to attach and then the spray nozzle (quick connect). afterward there are cord wrap brackets if you choose to attach them. About 1/2 hour for all.

I cut them up to smaller sizes and fitted them with hose ends. It's not simple, though. You will need a sleeve to increase the diameter of the 1/2" hose fitting. I don;t like these soakers at all. The one I used last season cracked internally over the winter, even though it was stored inside. I'm going to give the other 4 that I bought at the same time a chance this year; but I suspect I will be buying all new soaker hoses next year. I already bought a different one that looks like it will last a while.

It's been awhile so it's hard to remember but I just looked very closely at how the existing hose was attached, carefully removed it and attached the replacement hose the exact same way and it worked for me. Good luck.

i haven't installed it yet, but i compared it to my rangerstepside's hose and it is a little longer. i believe thatyou can trim one or both ends to fit and put theconnectors back on.it may be worth the gamble, because the price isnoticably lower than it was a few years ago.i'd say that it is a little less than an inch difference.

You can repair it with the kit. You will need to cut the old hose and hand piece somewhere near the base (maybe 3 inches or so) and you will receive a little spicing coupler that will go into that remaining piece of hose on the base unit and also into the end of the hose on the new kit hose and handle. They will send you easy to understand instructions with the kit. I understand why you would have questions as they don't give these type explanations but rather include them only with the kit. I went into this blindly but it all became clear when you get the kit and review the instructions.

Sounds like the hose might not be long enough. Mine also dosent like the flat shallow end

There weren't instructions. You are supposed to leave a hose connected to the top connection on the back at the bottom. The problem is it's a male fitting for some crazy reason. I bought a very short hose, cut off the male end and bought a female end replacement and made my very short hose a double female.

You can put two of these together using a M-M coupling. I'd suggest waiting till you have the hose in hand and take it to the hardware store to get the right flared coupling.

You'll find reducers/connectors from garden hose to 3/8 at many hardware stores. Use that reducer/connector to solve your issue...easy

I had the same problem. My solution was my local Homedepot (or any hardware store) and purchased 1/4 thread rod and a union ( joins 2 threaded rods), cut it to fit and works great. Just take one of your end pieces with you and explain to an associate you dilemma and they will gladly set you up.

Just pick up a cheap hose from any discount store . I found one at a dollar store and cut it to the length needed.
