Does adding extension hose cause the pressure at the nozzel to be less?

I am not the seller, but yes, it could reduce the pressure ever so slightly. I think though that typically, it is negligeable as the GPM flow (only a few GPM) is not that high. Do some searching on line. Pressure drop is common on long lengths and high flow rates, but I doubt there any effect here. fyi - I wouldn't buy this hose. Buy a CAT.

Yes (very slight), as the longer the hose, the more resistance and distance the water has to be pushed, however I doubt you would be able to discern the difference. I have a 25' and 50' hose and both work equally well. As a matter of fact, I never use my 25' hose at all any more.

No we have used 150' lengths and the pressure is adjustable at your machine.

Technically, yes, however the pressure drop is negligible with 50' extension. This hose has very good flow on my 3600 psi washer.

the pressure will not reduce unless the capacity of the pump is not sufficient. most of the time these pumps are way more efficient than the size of the hose so I wouldn't worry about it

I have not seen this happen since installing but I have noticed the hose has started to blimp up near the connection to the Claber. It is like the pressure of the water has been stretching the hose near the fitting but I have no leaks still. Just wondering if it might eventually blow out. When I installed I made sure the hose had a nice clean cut end and that it was pressed on as tight as it would go to the Claber fitting. Then I made sure I tightened the Claber fitting as snug as it would go and it has been water tight since. You might not have torqued it down tight enough is what I'm thinking.

I attach the hose to my brush pole. Its a hard fit but it works, The only problem I have is that I need an extension for the main drain end because the one it has, has that valve that opens and closes which does not allow for full suction

No, its a manual handle. the pressure gauge is on the other t fitting. it did increase pressure from 15 to 20. pool co said that's fine.

With my unit the pressure is fine when the jets are on the fine setting and a little weak when the jets are turned to pulse. I think the only way to increase the pressure is before it gets to the shower panel.

Adjust the position of the hose weight per the instructions. That should fix it.

Yes you can add more hoses. I have added more extensions and it continues to work great.

I'm not sure that it CREATES more pressure, it comes out in a very narrow adjustable stream. I have had them for a few months and they work well. Not plastic, but rather brass. you can regulate the stream by rotating the nozzle. They have a rather forceful stream when adjusted to a certain degree. The stream has a surprising length to it.

I don't think so, this is a static system, I would think that the additional pressure would cause leaks.

Sorry - can't answer that one for sure. My guess is that is does not matter since it is working off existing pressure of the line.

The pressure would be the same as any other hose of the same width. It would also depend on the pressure coming out of the faucet. I have had no problem with the pressure, but I just use it like a regular hose. I'm not sure if this helps you.

No in my case the water connections are short. Extensions to the connectors are required.

Maybe enough for a trickle I attached to a small hose it it doesn't supply much pressure. Just a trickle.

I have no idea, I'd call Rheem Tech support. They were very helpful during my install. Personally, I don't think pressure variations would be an issue, but who am I to know?

Seems to be slightly less pressure than a standard garden hose though not to the point that adversely affects what we use it for. We use a multiple setting nozzle head and I can hose off the decking, with as much pressure as a standard hose.

The more nozzles spraying (releasing pressure) the less pressure moves down the line. So there would definitely be a limit. Don't have a clue what that limit would be and would likely be dependent on your water pressure. But come to think of it there isn't the ability to extend with another line on my system. There's just a capped off end of the line.
