3/8, 1/2 or 5/8............it all really depends on the GPM of your pump and how heavy you want the hose to be when you are handling it on the roof.

Depends on the pump. I prefer 1/2" and have never had a roof or property that I couldnt finish in good time. I dont like the heavy hoses.

150' 0f 5/8" , then 150 of 1/2". A little better flow and pressure, but still easy to get around with. I tested it with my flow meter/pressure gauge and found just the right balance for our system.

5/8 clear braided is what I have used for 14 years 300 foot long of hose, it is light and easy to roll up. Of course I learned everything from AC back in the day and made my own improvements over the years.

Jeff,

Thanks for coming to my defense on the other board! I think my greates joy is that you turned out to be a FISHERMAN, a husband and a father. That you paid for it all cleaning roofs is cool. I can still remember the 18 year old kid fresh out of Lyman High School that came in applying for a job. YOU TURNED OUT AWESOME.

5/8 hose sucks lol
