Would anyone recommend against running a 50 foot hose from Home to this device, and then attaching the 4 hoses/PVC's from there?

I think it would work fine. It doesn't matter if it's connected to a spigot or a hose.

The biggest problem I can see would come from having your hose under constant pressure because the Orbit unit controls the pressure at the faucet with regular application. You would be placing the constant pressure on the the hose before it reaches the Orbit. Make sure you have a very study hose, and check your hose often for leaks.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, make it half inch size so that you get the most water volume possible

We have PVC pipes and have had no obvious problem. Seems to work well, recommended to us by the local hardware store - a place that takes matters like this, quite seriously. In fact, the have a dozen alternative products and they were strong in recommending thus one. I put it in 2-3 times per year and leave a box on the floor with a list of dates. Smells a bit when you dump the stuff in the hopper and flush. So best to be leaving after application. And, best not to use caustic materials that drain to tank. Kills off te good bugs.

I have hooked up a 100ft extension with no problems. I reckon a 50ft would come with the same adapters. So I would say yes you can hook them up, or buy a 100ft instead.

I wouldn't recommend it the more you hook together the more the amps drop. Could cause damage to equipment running under powerd at full load. For this reason I purchased the 50' rather than adding a small ext. to my 25ft cord.

The system is put together with PVC tubing and compression fittings. You can go to your local hardware store and purchase tubing of any length you may need - I believe it is 1/2 OD, but safest to bring it with you so the clerk can match up the size (they can also show you how compression fittings work if you don't know). If your concern is loss of suction, no worries...I currently run 60 feet with no noticeable difference.

I put liquid silicone (the kind you can dip tool handles in, comes in a can) over my connection so I can use most of the 50' in piping. Of course in my case I run it from my desktop computer to the drain lines in my house so I only really need about 35' of the 50' in the pipe. The rest runs from the clean out to my desktop computer in the den. I record on my computer instead of connecting this to a camera.

In my experience, Hozons are tricky. I don't know about the length of the hose, but they clog up all the time. The current one worked twice. Also it never worked with my adjustable handle. I had to use a short one. I have a friend who has combined 2 and has a hose longer than 50 feet. Good luck. That's what you need with one of those.

We have no problems -I got this for my spouse to make it easier with 100' of hose and it works good. However here is a tip lazy people expect it to do all the work and walk away from it, and it gets caught up or kinks the hose etc. Just do not let you trigger nozzle drag in the grass. and it will wind up quickly.

I agree with you this is a poor way to do business. I took the connection off and adapted to quarter inch plastic tubing. Then I adapted to a garden hose fitting at the other end. I used 5 feet of tubing so I would not be holding the weight of a garden hose. Good luck

There's nothing to permanently attach a hose to. Best you can do IMO is rig something.

I don't believe a 50 ft regular hose would fit and would probably be too heavy.

This is a good pump, although not designed for that purpose, I do believe it would pump that distance. If you are pumping through hose the auto shut off feature may not work well. I would use pvc.

You can also get a 100 foot pocket hose that is 3x stronger. I just ordered one from amazon. It cost a bit more.

I used a 50 ft. extension when I used mine and had no trouble. The voltage draw isn't continuous so I would expect no trouble.

This hose is very flexible.. I think that pvc connections would work..You might need large clamps or wire ties to secure in place.

No the 50 ft hose would be best. Trust me, I bought this hose after being very disappointed with "medium duty" and heavy duty kink free hoses. This hose is far superior in many ways. It is lighter and most importantly wil not kink! The way the hose is designed its impossible for it to kink up. Once you get those hose youll better see what im talking about. Definitely if you want a light kink free hose buy the 50 ft. You will not regret it.

I am using 80' of 3/4 hose and I love it... though due to the weight of the house make sure you secure it to something sturdy. I think it will workfine for 100'
