3" x 100' Heavy Duty Discharge Hose with NPT Pin Lug and Nipple Fittings, Reinforced BLue PVC Pool Backwash Hose, Connect To Pump and Pipe Threaded Outlet

Our backyard floods really badly whenever we get rains soon after a heavy snowfall, so we got an industrial trash pump to suck out the water quickly without getting clogged up with yard debris (sticks, leaves, mud, mulch, etc.). From the flooding area to the storm drain on the street in front of our house is about 90’ so this 100’ hose was great for getting the water pumped out there. It is high quality and heavy duty material so I can’t imagine it getting a leak as long as you take care of it. The threaded coupling attached very easily to our pump and created a nice seal with no leakage.Storing the hose was fairly easy, although it is rather heavy. Being a lie flat, it rolled up easily into a fairly small diameter (which is how it came packaged). I would not want to have a roll of 2.5” diameter hose at 100’ in length that was not lie flat - that would take up half of my shed!One thing to note - don’t get much longer than you need. Unless the hose is running downhill, it takes more pressure to get the water out the other end the longer it is. We have a slight uphill path to the front yard and once the pump had no more water to suck, the entire hose was still filled with water. Turning off the pump would have let all of the water inside the hose drain back out at the pump site and 100’ of water at 2.5” diameter is (double the radius, multiply by pi, carry the two) a LOT of water. 😅 So I needed to lift the pump, detach the hose (which was nice an easy!) and then walk towards the front lifting the hose to push the water out the other end. If I had only needed to go 60’ or 70’, it would have been even more work (due to getting past the kinks as you get to the bunched up extra length of the lie flat hose), so a 75’ hose would have been a better choice.

I use this item with my high flow, 24,000 gallon per hour, trash pump and it works very well with it. Very sturdy and easy to use.

articulo en buen precio y de buena calidad. su respacho fue considerablemente rapido. muy contento con el producto

I use this hose to irrigate wildflower seeds planted on an earthen dam in our neighborhood. I got a late start, missing the autumn rains and was hoping to get some of the Texas Bluebonnet seeds to germinate (which they do in the fall/early winter when it gets colder if there is adequate rain). The pump sends A LOT of water through this hose, and the hose works fine if it is straight. But bend it, curve it, anything but straight and the hose kinks. Fortunately, the water doesn't stop in its entirety, but it does affect the overall flow. I have to turn the pump down and place the pump farther away to maintain as fewest curves/kinks as possible. Also, the threaded male end edges are sharp and gave me an inch long scratch to prove it. I have a fireman's nozzle as well, but it restricts the water even more than the kinks. I think the kinks are just the nature of these types of hoses. There are reinforced hoses for intake (which I have), but they are just too heavy and ridged for lugging around. Something in-between, perhaps a 2" Inch Rubber Covered Fire Hose would be more appropriate, but also more expensive ($273 for 50’ at FireHoseSupply). I guess I’ll just have to deal with the kinks, and I would project the shorter life those cause. I'll update over time if appropriate.

Arrived quickly and works perfectly.

We loved the price

The hose itself works as advertised, however, it kinks every few feet when under pressure. Having another person to help you unroll the hose and lay it flat is almost necessary. My application is to pump out the basement with a trash pump. The hose only has to go up 8 steps and out my door. As soon as it's pressurized, the hose will kinks somewhere along its 100 foot length restricting water flow and causing a headache. Then the fun really begins when you have to wrestle this greasy monster back into a rolled-up mess. Pro tip: start rolling from the outlet end.You're better off using a fire hose if you can get your hands on one.

works well and holds up to sitting in the sun for many weeks at a time
