Can I use this to divert water into a soaker type hose to water the garden next to the downspout?

You could but several issues must be addressed. First the diameter of the diverter nozzle is larger than most hoses so some accommodation is necessary to hook things up. Second the amount of pressure (force) the water needs to exit the soaker will be limited by the head of water from the diverter to the garden soaker. The system does allow for any excess water to go down the drainpipe.

You could, but there probably wouldn't be enough pressure to let the hose work properly. However filling a rain barrel and attaching a soaker to the bottom of the rain barrel should provide enough pressure.

Well, sure, tho not necessarily "easily", but only because of the challenge in connecting the soaker hose... The big white plastic drain hose from the Oatey is rather large, and not a particularly standard size, so it's a little tricky to connect it to something exact like a water hose connector. I had some good luck with some assorted PVC plugs/connectors and elbows (sorry, I forget what diameters/sizes...) to route water "around the corner" into one of my rain barrels. With some tie-downs it's staying connected quite nicely and seals well. You might be able to do something similar to connect up to a regular water hose - you might even get "lucky" and just be able to screw a female-to-female threaded water hose end inside the soft white plastic Oakey hose. Hope this helps! Home Depot or Lowes is your friend here. A little "home engineering" creativity and you should be fine - it doesn't have to be a perfect seal, you're gonna be routing into a leaky soaker hose anyway, lol... :) Good Luck! Jeeeeem

Yes you can but you should get a short lead hose (5' - 10') so water is not weeping directly from the water connection.

I can't think of a reason you couldn't. It is open on the bottom, so you would have to add some sort of liner to keep the soil from draining out with the water.

Garden hoses and outdoor hose bibs (faucets) have the same size connections so Yes, it would work just fine for attaching two soaker hoses to another hose.

It can be yes, but the overflow will drain from the barrel and not be deflected back down the downspout so be sure you have a good drainage spot that the barrel rests on.

It has some holes in the bottom and side for mounting bolts so you'd need a method to plug them. Not sure where the water line would fall once loaded.

The soaker hose will only water a few inches on each side. Get two hoses and a Y connector.

Yes you can provided the hole you drilled to insert the divertor hose is below the hole you have at the top of your rain barrel for overflow. Once the water in the barrel reaches the divertor hole and hose it will stop putting water inside the barrel.

This adapter is a 3/4" Female Garden Hose Thread to a 1/2" drip line. I would keep it above the ground, but I guess you could bury it if you wanted to.

I would think so, mine is connected to a hose, then the faucet. There just needs to be pressure in the line. I wanted to run mine off my rain barrel, doesn't work. There needs to be some water pressure, to get the soaker hose to work.

Yes! My wife cut an extra hose to a smaller length to make it easier to remove water, but a garden hose does fit.

This is not a soaker line (which is what you would use for underground watering) but I believe you could modify the drip endings with a fabric wrap of some sort to make a low volume underground line

I use an old garden hose for a drain hose for my dehumidifier. Had to cut it to lengths and cut the end off to get it through the wall to drain outside.

You would probably need a hose and water pump for that application. With hose hook up it works great

John, I don't know specifically about a soaker hose. But I think it would as long as the hose has standard hose threads on it.

Yes you can. Look at the water flow chart to see if this will supply what you need.

definitely, but you may want to consider a TeraPump TRHA01 (also sold by Sojitek) instead. Would give you more flexibility with discharge coming out of a hose you can direct rather than the rigid spigot of this one. Also easier to use as a hand held unit rather than one meant to attach to a 5 gallon water jug.
