80 cents a foot? That's more pricey than garden hose?

A 500 foot garden hose isn't going to pass much water.



it'll pass as much water as a same sized poly or pvc.

Exactly. That's why you use larger poly or PVC than the common
garden hose.

OR you could use a larger garden hose. duh.

Do you have a 1" or 1.5" garden hose?



Have some 1". yes.


The largest "garden hose" I've ever seen is 3/4", and that's hard to
find. Most is 1/2" or 5/8". My long garden hose is two 3/4" hoses
together, a 75' and a 50'. 3/4" is because with that length, smaller
hose just won't get enough water through to run large volume
sprinklers the way I need.



ok. well that's what YOU've seen. I happen to have SEEN 1" and have
some also. I posted several links to purchase 1" garden hose.


As I said elsewhere, it is not available in any of the usual retail stores where
I live, and persoanlly, I have never once seen 1" garden hoses in a retail
store. It's hard to even find 3/4" in most stores. I never denied it could
exist, but it is certainly a specialty item.
