hose pipe diameter: which to choose?
Hello,
I need to buy a hose pipe that will reach from the patio, across the lawn, to the driveway behind it. I think it is about 30 metres, so plus some room to manouvre, I think I will be looking at a 50m hose pipe. I need it to wash the car and also to try and clean an oil spill off the paving! I was going to go with something like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/hozelock-5...ble-hose/42232 which is not supposed to twist or kink, but I also saw this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/hose-yellow-50m-x/97963 which according to the reviews, can kink, but it is 3/4" diameter rather than 1/2". Which would you buy? I am wondering whether the 3/4" is better, particularly for long lengths, as it might have a greater flow and less internal resistance? Thanks, Stephen. |
