Why ecotube HOME?

ecotube is a microporous soaker hose for above-ground and subsurface irrigation of plants. The first soaker hose with an even water distribution over 100 m length. It releases water slowly and evenly across the entire surface of the hose, supplying plants directly in the root zone. This significantly reduces evaporation, water consumption, and weed growth. The ecotube is made from recycled materials, and zero waste is generated during production — providing an irrigation solution that is sustainable from material to application.

📉

-58% Water Consumption

Thanks to direct subsurface root irrigation, not a single drop evaporates on the warm soil surface. Water reaches exactly where it is needed.

🌱

Less Weeds

Since the top layer of soil remains dry, weed seeds find no moisture to germinate. This saves you valuable hours of tedious weeding.

♻️

Sustainable & Recycled

Manufactured in Germany from recycled scrap tires. The production process generates zero waste — a masterpiece of the circular economy.

Scientific Evidence (2025)

University of Hohenheim Confirms High Efficiency

A study published in 2025 proves that subsurface microporous irrigation with ecotube makes water usage highly efficient and keeps soil moisture in the root zone significantly more stable than conventional systems.

Simple DIY Assembly

Installation in 6 Steps

Step 1: Plan the layout & dig the trench

Plan the path layout without major inclines. Dig a narrow trench of even depth in your garden bed or lawn. Remove stones and roots. Alternatively, you can easily lay the ecotube directly on the surface.

Step 2: Connecting the pressure regulator is mandatory

The ecotube HOME operates with minimal pressure. Connect the included 0.69 bar pressure regulator directly to your outdoor faucet or your irrigation controller.

Step 3: Laying without tension

Unroll the soaker hose inside the trench. Make sure to lay the hose completely free of tension and without stretching it. Avoid any sharp kinks.

Step 4: Fit connectors precisely

Cut the hose to length using scissors. Push the included push-fit connectors straight and all the way to the stop into the ecotube. Seal open ends with the end plugs.

Step 5: The test run

Before backfilling, you should test the system. For longer distances (> 30 m), run the water through the ecotube three times in a row (interval: 5 min ON, 15 min OFF). This allows the water to flow all the way to the end of the ecotube.

Step 6: Backfilling & Initial watering

Carefully fill the trench back up with soil or bark mulch. Water the plants thoroughly from above once right after installation to settle the soil.
