Well, a few things, I suppose:

It's tough to work with right out of the package. It's coiled kinda tight, and pulling it straight actually kinks it when you first unroll it. I clamped it between two chairs in my back yard in the sun... when I came back to it 2 hours later it was more agreeable.

Now I have 30" of it running water up my kid's water play center. It actually has some body to it, and doesn't kink when your round corners as tight as 1" radius.

Water goes in water comes out. I used this tubing for an outside fountain. Quality was excellent and should hold up well. Stiff at first but this shows the piping has a thick wall as it should have. Laid out in the hot sun for a few minutes it became more pliable. Worth the money for 20' which was more than I needed.

use with any of the pumps on amazon as well to make a nice landscape setup or fountain

You can't ask much more of tubing then for it to maintain a hole all the way to the end! What will they think of next?

Well... the package came in a prompt fashion. It was coiled very tightly and the kinks everyone else spoke of in their reviews were readily apparent. They are not sufficient to exclude the use of the kinked areas and I don't think it will be a problem to use. Please note, you are getting 20 feet of tubing for a very good price and the kinks can be worked out with a little effort and some muscle. The tubing is pretty stiff and seems as though it will be last for a very long time. Even with the kinks I would still recommend the product and the seller.

It is 1/2 inch black tubing; it won't grow algae inside and it is rough so it will more-or-less stay put, and it has some elasticity so you can pour boiling water on it and stretch it over the lip of a fitting. But it kinks like nobody's business and that is my biggest gripe.

25 feet is nice and long so I've used this in 2 pools in unstructured under-water routing and it kinked in both situations. And, it doesn't like to go back to an unkinked state. If you bury this outside your watercourse I can almost guarantee you it will change form and kink and your flow rate will suffer. Keep looking!

I bought this for a hydro set up I designed. If fit perfect with my 1/2' hose connector. Great quality.

I got this hose to use to pump water 4ft vertically to create a small rain curtain. It came out of the package tightly rolled up. When I get around to testing the hose for leaks, it kinked every 4-6 inches because it took shape to the coil it was packaged in. I tried to massage the kinks out but it didn't work. It greatly effected the flow rate of the pump. I ended up using 1/4" vinyl tubing which far outperformed the half inch PVC tubing. I have to say, for the price, not too much harm was done, but I can't, in all good faith, recommend the hose to others.

The tubing arrived with about a foot or two horribly kinked up and virtually unusable. The tubing isn't pliable enough to easily knock the kinks out so I cut it off and tossed it. The rest of it is perfectly fine though (a few kinks but nothing bad) so I now have 18 feet of usable tubing.

A hose is a hose is a hose. I have an outdoor fountain and this works like it's suppose to.
