Thanks.  Two points,  you must find the cheaper one that large chain stores
sell to the general public,  not the commercial irrigation grade that is
slightly larger in diameter and doesnt fit the soaker hoses.  Unfortunately
here they are both labeled the same size.  

The second point is that when you use this,  you cant put the water pressure
on too high.  Because the joints are merely pushed together,  you can blow
them out.  But they are easy to fix.  Just push them together again.  Perhaps
the best thing is to try it and see if it works for you.
