I am sorry I could not open the link given but I was going to say that the only person who could answer the question would be the sprinkler company or someone that has the hose and the sprinkler.

It appears most hoses would work great with a Nelson walking sprinkler. The front wheel easily straddles up to a 1.25" hose.A problem may occur if too small a hose is used on a rough lawn, then the front wheel may jump over the hose.

I would like to answer the question, but I don't know what the question is. I couldn't find a search answer to match what was written in the question. I use a 5/8 inch kink free 100' hose and it works fine.

That should work for you. The "expanding" hoses will work if you don't mind getting wet to set the sprinkler at the end of the hose once it expands. :o) I just wish the tractor moved a little faster. With the draught, we're rationing water in Colorado (even with the floods), and the city has limited the time we're allowed to water. Good luck with your Raintrain (be sure to put it away - the neighbors all want one.

Hi John, I think you are on the right track. I myself use a 50 ft hose, the manual also mentions this. I have used my pressure washer over a dozen times with no problem. I am thinking with the longer 100ft hose the pressure must be to low for the unit to be efficeint. I do use a 3/8, 50 foot pressure hose from the unit to the pressure sprayer and get great results.

I bought a 1/4 inch barb for this hose. Fits perfectly. Its not too small or big. Any other size wouldn't fit correctly.

I have 5/8 inch hose and it's a stretch to get all 100 feet on the reel. In my case, it doesn't matter if it sticks out past the reel casing a little bit. I would think a 1/2 inch hose would fit ok.

I have had my 100 ft Flexzilla hose for a year now. Have no experience connecting another hose to it, but can't see why not! Good luck with it, I think you will be very pleased with your new hose.

Flexible - never run into a problem where it wasn't flexible enough. Seems similar to other hoses as best I recall.

I'll say for a high pressure hose it's fairly flexible.You will not find a high pressure hose that has an acceptable level of flex in conparison to low pressure hose.. There are some that are slightly more flexible but you will pay a much higher price in my oppinion.

In my opinion 100ft of high quality 3/4" hose is max. It would likely pull 1/2" or 5/8" farther. And as far as I know there is one model.

I used "Raindrip 052010P 1/2-Inch-by-100-Foot Poly Hose" to run lines around my garden. It worked great, and i couldn't beat the price of 10 bucks. Pex would probably last alot longer though if I was more certain of the long term lay out.

I do not know anything about the pocket hose but I had 2 50 foot flexible hoses and the actual hoses busted (one completely in half) within 4 months. I also had 2 25 foot flexible hoses and one busted in about the same amount of time, the other is working just fine right now. If I were going to try any type of flexible hose I would order the x hose pro. https://www.xhose.com/pro/

From what I have read about the lack of durability with the flex hoseI would say yes, this is a better hose than the flex hose. As for shrinkingand expanding, no it does not do that. A flimsy hose isn't likely to last that long.

I'm not sure, but it's really, really heavy. I ended up getting rid of it and got the Gilmour 6 Ply Rubber/Vinyl Hose 3/4 Inch x 75 Feet instead: Gilmour 25034075 Commercial Rubber/Vinyl Hose, 3/4" by 75'

I also have an older Gilmour sprayer and it worked for me. I am not an expert on these, I myself took a chance on this kit an so far it is still working.

Most high pressure hoses are stiff and well built to handle the job they are designed for. This one is no different. It does coil up nicely when finished with the task. Might not be as small a coil as you'd like, but it's ok. Consider using cord/hose wraps to hold the stored coil to the size you'd like.

Claber connectors last forever and work exceptionally well. I probably own 20 or more of these connectors. Make sure you match the connector size with the hose size. It is okay to use a bigger connector size than hose size but do not go the other way. Hose menders work well also. I use the complete system, sprinklers, sprays and connectors. When I locate these in the hardware store I buy all on the shelf. I could be a spokesman for Claber, that is how sold I am on this product.

I used the bosch 5meter 32mm hose, identical to festool hose. Fits inside the dewalt opening. I cut it down to leave it on permanently.
