I use soaker hoses without the psi regulator, our water pressure is pretty low and I had the exact same problem - water didn't get to the end of the soaker hose.

My problem is that the water is so hard, so high in minerals, that my weeping hose system I got from Lee Valley 2 years ago won't allow water to go through any more - I have to try soaking them in vinegar, I guess.

Our water is horrible like that too. I have to wash my hair in vinegar regularly, because it gets mineral build up and gets all dull and straw-like. Oh, how I hate our water.

Do you have the filter for it? We have a drip line that we use for our shelterbelt trees, and I've used it for 2 years and it still works great. But I have to clean out the filter with a toothbrush every 2 times or so that I use it.

My 100 ft. drip line works fine with a 30 psi regulator, so maybe I'll try it with that regulator instead. But for that to work, we must have at least 30 psi...which means the 25 psi regulator should work even better. UGH! Why can't things just WORK!? LOL.
