Early failures, see photos.
Gilmour product 870251-1001 arrived April 12, 2018 and I tested it for even flow and found it acceptable, so I ordered more plus at 75' Gilmour 870751-1001 April 22, total of 5 - 25' and 1-75'. They have been in services for about a month. I found two failed recently (today is May 26), so cannot trust the others to hold up for the rest of the growing season. Both failures were near the end of the hoses. It could be related to tight turns on the hoses when factory packaged in flat coils, but that's only a guess. Bottom line is I won't be buying more of Gilmour. I've wasted time and money on this product, but currently don't have an alternative to suggest. Also, the failures mentions were on lines with 25 psi pressure reducers.
