We have now purchased one and are almost ready to go....are there any
suggestions on the type of hose to use or not use. We have noticed that all
the hoses at H.D. & Lowe's have the statement that they are not intended for
constant pressure. What is being used and where do you find a hose that
will be under constant pressure? Thanks

We used a garden hose for a long time with no problem, but we wanted to get
the hose off the grass, so last year DS hard piped one and the other,
where he needed some flexibility, he got some tubing from the hardware
store. There are hoses that handle pressure, check the travel trailer
supplies. ~ jan

Get a radiator hose. I bought mine at Home Depot. Also, the line doesn't
need to be at full pressure, just enough for a single spray.

The one I have been using for 3 years now was purchases at a regular
building/garden supply but was recommended for farm use I belive. It is
a heavy black reinforced rubber. It you buy a top quality rubbere
hose not plastic I think you should be OK. I suggest when you set it up
that you experiment a bit to determine the mimimum tap setting that
provides enough water to operate. That way it it does ever spring a
leak it cant flow the maximum volume of water while you are away.
Cheers.

Aren't washing machine hoses for use under constant pressure? I only had one
to pop since 1964.
