Default Seep hose for water butts?

Is there a seep hose available that will work with water butts - i.e. low
pressure?

I have three full barrels and it would be useful to let this go into my
polytunnel ahead of rain.

Most of the stuff now sold as soaker hose/leaky pipe/porous pipe etc is
suitable for use with water barrels.
This site has a range which it says are best used with water butts.

I prefer to use 13mm (1/2inch") stuff and control the volume by use of an
inline tap.
