Default Unclogging laser drilled soaker hose

I have very hard (over 250 ppm) alkaline (pH 7.8 to 8.2) water. Some
of the holes in my laser drilled soaker hose have become clogged.
What is the easiest way to unclog these holes? Would putting the hose
into a bucket of vinegar or a lime away product for a few days work?


Yes ... coil it in a bucket and dump a gallon of cheap vinegar
over it. Just make sure you get the vinegar into the inside and
outside. After a day or so, squeeze the coil of tubing to loosen
the deposits and after a couple more days you can probably rinse
it with water and re-install it.

If so, which would be better or would both work well? Thank you in
advance for all replies.
