I have 100’ of tubing and was gonna order another 100’ but now that I’m starting to potentially get commercial jobs, I’m thinking of getting 200’ for a total of 300’. Is that a good amount or should i get even more? At what point will it be too long to use without a pump?
that depends largely on your pressure from the tap, i have used 75"of rhino hose to xero pure and 200’ of rhino tube going up 4 stories no problem but have also had not enough pressure with 50’ feet going 6 feet high.
going with hose instead of tubing also reduces the loss of pressure so air hose is also often used from filter to pole hose.
I know Perry Tait isn’t a darling here anymore, but I will say he also mentioned what @cactus27 said about using as little pole hole as possible to optimize flow for as far as you can. I switched from 100+ feet of pole hose to maybe 5’ more than my pole length and there was an instant improvement in stream pressure.
