I use 25 footers of 2.5" its much easier to roll out. Also the big stuff you can find, never seen 5", 4" is too heavy. I think i paid about $450 a hose for wire 2.5", the good stuff. Fabric isn't as strong. I got mine from CPR in MN they got it from Con Forms they make it.

i agree fabric will not hold up. kinks to easy. alot of people use them with ball valve pumps. steele wrap lasts longer . call con forms 800 223-3676

I run a 5/45 OLIN I run fiber hose's mine are 6 years old have never busted any my pumps face pressure is 900 psi but CPS in Atlanda is where I got my last 4 285.00 they have had and increase since                   , some freind of mine in Nashville runs fiber hose with there Schwing S-tube.

Confucious says, he who buys used system, sight unseen, could end up with egg on face and concrete on cars.
