What Hose Should I Use?

Light Duty
Use a light duty hose if you will be doing light watering chores. Light duty hoses are lightweight and easy to handle. Good examples of use are watering a garden and light clean up around the house.

Medium Duty
Use a medium duty hose for general watering use. Medium duty hoses are kink resistant and have good durability and flexibility. Most usually come with a 7 year warranty. Good examples of use are washing your car and watering your lawn.

Heavy Duty
Use a heavy duty hose for those tough watering chores. Heavy duty hoses are very kink resistant with excellent durability and heavy duty brass octagonal couplings. All usually come with lifetime warranties. This type of hose can handle all your usual watering chores, like gardening, washing your car, etc. Choose this type of hose if you use your hose often and want it to last longer.

Industrial
Industrial hoses are also perfect for those tough watering chores.   Industrial hoses have durable abrasion-resistant covers, with heavy-duty reinforcement and heavy duty brass octagonal couplings. Some Industrial Rubber hoses can stay flexible in extreme weather conditions, handle hot water up to 180° F, and withstand over 500 lbs burst pressure.
