What water pressure can this hose handle. My guess is that most of the complaints on these hoses are the result of high water pressure

As I wrote in my review, this is my third flex hose-different manufacturer. I use it to water my flowers, grass and clean the patio. I don't use it for "high" pressure situations and I never used the other two for high pressure washes etc. They just split! Hopefully, this one will last for a few months. I love the light weight and small storage capacity.

I also have a very strong water pressure and it doesnt affect the hose.Works fine-no problem

I had the same problem with the hoses with plastic fittings. This hose has metal and to date it has not given me any trouble. Guessing time will tell.

I haven't experienced this issue. Water pressure seems to be fine. I change mine once every year. Make sure the seller is Amazon. There might me fakes from other sellers.

Yes, I have had problems with kinks and when they happen they often allow the hose to "blow out" a hole allowing so much water to flow that it renders the hose useless. I have purchased 4 of these weeper hoses and have had to quit using all of them because they no longer flow in a slow steady "soaker" action. I went back to the Andrews Brand green flat plastic soaker hose and have had good success with them.

You've probably checked this already but I'm wondering if the problem is something other than the hose - maybe a bad or clogged connection to the main water faucet or the nozzle you're using? I get a lot of pressure through mine.

This is a very well made hose, with very good connectors, and I think it would be worth a try. I've never had any hose burst though. When our house was switched to higher incoming waterpressure, they installed a pressure regulator in the line, to allow one to turn down the incomingpressure. You might want to consider having a regulator installed.

I also worried about the water pressure since I have high water pressure as well as air from the main water line on occasion. That said, I have found the you pull the the water control handle on the control panel you can adjust the water to the pressure you find comfortable.

There is no rating on the hose. It is a thick rubber hose for normal water pressure, and can take hot water. Its made by Goodyear, so you may want to call their customer service,

I have had mine for over a month now and my two boys use it "alot" and it's holding up just fine. I don't put the hose of full blast either so maybe that helps too, the water pressure doesn't need to be very high at all....Hope that helps.

We have not found the water pressure to be an issue. It seems to work really good no matter the water pressure.

IO do not know if it will handle 200 psi water pressure, because I have my own well and the water varies. What I have done is purchase an inexpensive on/off metal fitting with a toggle. I hook up the hose, then adjust the volume using the toggle switch. I use these in different places in the yard so by having an adjustable toggle switch attached, it allows me to use soaker hoses and regular hoses

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

I have used mine constantly for a couple years in southern California; it was my favorite hose so I bought two more a few months ago and love them too. They have never swollen or leaked. If by constant pressure you mean having the water on but the end you would attach a sprayer to shut down, I try not to do that but forget sometimes and did not have a problem.

I have not realized any change in water pressure. The hose length and that it does not have a plastic connection is what was most important to me.

I have used a 125 foot of hose routinley w/o problems. You only need a small amout of positive water pressure for a soker to work.

I've had no problems...wish I had mounted them higher so I could get a better flow of water through the the hoses though.
