Why pitta
A reliable supply partner, not just a product
pitta is a U.S. registered trademark backed by an established manufacturing partner in Qingdao with real cross-border export experience. We focus on doing one thing well: making a soaker hose that holds up, and making it easy to buy at wholesale.
Established manufacturing partner
Our hose is produced by an established Qingdao manufacturer we work with directly, with experience supplying overseas marketplaces and private-label programs. You order under the pitta brand; we manage the factory relationship.
Built to outlast the season
The wall is a durable, anti-aging, UV-resistant PE-rubber chosen to survive a full outdoor season rather than crack after a few hot weeks. We design the kit to head off the three things buyers return hoses for: early aging, clogging, and bursting on high-pressure lines.
OEM, ODM and private label
Low, trial-friendly MOQ so you can test a listing before you scale. Your brand on the coil, sleeve and carton; custom lengths and kit configurations; predictable lead times confirmed per order.
What the PT-RS12 is, and who it is for
The 1/2" Round Soaker Hose is pitta's wholesale workhorse, a US-spec porous hose (14.6 mm outer diameter) that waters plants at the root instead of spraying the air. Its wall is built from a durable PE-rubber blend that lets water weep out evenly along the entire length, so every foot of bed gets the same slow, deep soak. Buyers who carry it use it as their everyday soaker line: the one they reorder by the case once the season starts.
It is made for growers and gardeners who want to stop wasting water. Laid along garden beds, lawn edges, raised beds or orchard rows, the hose delivers moisture straight to the soil where roots can reach it, cutting the runoff and evaporation that sprinklers lose to wind and sun. Compared with overhead sprinklers, that root-level delivery is what lets a soaker hose water more efficiently than overhead sprinklers when used correctly.
Because the wall is an anti-aging, UV-resistant PE-rubber, the hose is built to hold up through a full outdoor season rather than crack after a few hot weeks. It coils flat for shipping and shelf display, cuts to length with garden scissors, and connects to a standard 3/4" garden tap. For wholesale buyers, it ships at low MOQ and is private-label ready, so it can go out under your own brand and packaging.

Built to fix what buyers return
Waters at the root, not the air
Weeps water at the root line instead of spraying it into the air, so far less is lost to wind, runoff and evaporation than with a sprinkler.
Anti-aging PE-rubber wall
A durable PE-rubber blend the supplier rates as anti-aging, built to survive a full outdoor season of sun and heat rather than crack early.
UV-resistant for outdoor runs
Holds up to direct sunlight on exposed beds and lawn edges, where thinner hoses tend to harden and split.
Even seepage, full length
The porous wall releases water along the whole hose, so the far end of a bed gets the same soak as the tap end, no dry spots.
Cut to length, easy connect
Trim it to fit a bed with garden scissors and join it to a standard 3/4" garden tap or a quick-connect fitting.
Burst-resistant with a regulator
On high-pressure home lines, pairing it with a pressure regulator keeps pressure in a safe range and helps prevent bursting.
Clog-resistant in use
A simple inline filter or end-cap flush keeps grit and hard-water deposits from building up inside the porous wall.
Low MOQ, private label ready
Order trial quantities to test a listing, then scale, with your own length, packaging and brand on the coil.
How a porous soaker hose seeps
A porous wall, not a sprayer
A soaker hose is not a drip line with holes and it is not a sprinkler. Its wall is porous along the entire length: under low water pressure, water weeps out through thousands of tiny pores in the PE-rubber rather than shooting out of nozzles. That is why you see the hose "sweat" beads of water all over its surface when the tap is on.
Water goes to the root, not the air
Because the water exits slowly at the soil surface, it soaks straight down into the root zone instead of misting into the air. Almost none is lost to wind or evaporation, and the leaves stay dry, which is also better for many plants. This is the mechanism behind the water saving from root-level delivery versus overhead sprinklers.
Low pressure is the point
Soaker hoses are designed to run at low pressure. Too much pressure forces water out unevenly and stresses the wall, which is why a pressure regulator is recommended on high-pressure home lines. Run at the right pressure, the hose seeps gently and evenly from end to end for hours at a time.
Where it goes to work
From backyard beds to commercial rows.
One durable hose, sized and packed for the growers, retailers and private-label sellers who put it in the ground.
One hose, the jobs your buyers care about
Vegetable beds, lawns, flowers and mulched borders
One hose covers the jobs home gardeners care about: lettuce and tomato beds, lawn edges, flower borders and mulched landscape beds. Laid along the row, it keeps the root zone evenly moist while the leaves and walkways stay dry.
Snaked across a lawn or wide bed
Run in long S-curves across a lawn or a wide planting bed, the hose beads water along its full length so coverage stays even from the first loop to the last.
Coils flat for shipping and shelf
The hose ships as a compact flat coil that is easy to palletize, store and display on a retail shelf, so it travels and merchandises cleanly.
Retail-ready kit configuration
It can be bundled as a retail kit with brass connectors, stakes, ties and tee/elbow fittings, a format that lists well on Faire or as an Amazon private-label package.
Fittings, tees and end caps
Tee and elbow connectors, end caps and washers let buyers branch the hose around multiple beds and close off the run cleanly, so the system fits the garden rather than the other way around.
Soaker hose vs. sprinkler vs. drip
Each method has its place. Here is where a soaker hose fits, in plain terms, so your buyers can pick the right tool.
| Soaker hose (pitta) | Sprinkler | Drip line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water delivery | Weeps along full length | Sprays overhead | Drips at emitters |
| Water saving | Up to 70% less vs. sprinkler | Baseline (most loss) | High, comparable |
| Best for | Beds, rows, lawns, borders | Large open lawns | Containers, precise spots |
| Leaves stay dry | Yes | No | Yes |
| Setup | Lay along plants, low pressure | Stake and connect | Plan emitter layout |
| Wholesale fit | Low MOQ, private label | Varies | Varies |
Comparison is general guidance for retail education, not a lab benchmark.

AvailableSetting it up in the garden
-
01
Connect to the tap
Attach the hose to a standard 3/4" garden tap, using a quick-connect fitting or threaded brass connector. If you are running several beds, branch the line with tee and elbow connectors.
-
02
Lay it along the plants
Run the hose along the base of the plants or down the center of the bed, keeping it on the soil surface or just under a layer of mulch. Use stakes or pins to hold curves in place.
-
03
Add a pressure regulator above ~70 PSI
On high-pressure residential lines (commonly above ~70 PSI), fit a pressure regulator between the tap and the hose. This keeps pressure in a safe range and helps prevent bursting. Confirm the exact working pressure with us before ordering.
-
04
Run it slow, then flush
Open the tap part-way so the hose seeps rather than sprays, and water for longer at low flow. Every so often, open the end cap and let the line flush to clear any grit and keep the pores clear.
