Hose Care Horticulture Hose Care Hoses are an extension of your plumbing system and should be treated accordingly.
Shorter hoses have greater per-foot costs than longer ones, but are easier to drain and coil.
The volume of water delivered by a hose per minute drops as its length increases. For the fastest water flow, use a hose that is as close to the exact length you need rather than one that is too long. The construction of the hose plays a big role in performance and endurance. Rubber hoses are the most flexible and stay pliable at the lowest temperatures, but they are also the most expensive. High-quality reinforced vinyl hoses are also flexible at low temperatures, and are resistant to abrasion and bursting.
