The one I bought at Lowes last summer has a seven year warranty. The one
it replaced had been in service for more than a decade before it finally
became so brittle that it cracked. I take a lazy approach to soaker hoses
and this may or may not help me: once I place them I never move them and
I do not take them in in the winter. Note that these are the cheap hoses
with lots of little holes.
