Need a hose recommend for a powerwasher
Bought a clean machine 2400 psi gas washer. Cm60912
My regular hose fits. I need 100 ft more. I read the instructions but it does not list what size hose. As i said, mine is a regular garden hose. What size do i likely have? This is just a normal hose. Offerred is 5/8 or 3/4. What is normal? I looked but not sure id or or od. |

Either should work, but given the distance I'd go with the 3/4 for more flow, less resistance. I have not bought a hose in some years so no brand recommendations. Mine is Sears only because it was cheap on sale. |

Garden hose implies it's, well, just garden hose, ie the goes into hose. Or is it the pressure, goes outta hose? For garden hose, anything is fine, it doesn't have that much water flow. For pressure hose, the hose needs to be rated for the pressure. I have a big, heavy honking old really well built electric one and I needed to extend the power end hose. I think I got it at HD, it had standard air hose type quick disconnects that fit my 30 year old beast. You might find better deals online, eg Ebay. |

Typical home water pressure is 45 - 55 psi : https://totalph.ca/how-to-test-water-pressure-at-home/ John T. |

If the washer puts out a lot of water then a larger diameter may be better. If not, it makes no difference. |

To answer the other part of his question, 5/8" is by far the common garden hose size compared to 3/4". But he seems to be a one hit wonder anyway, he disappeared. |
