Perfect timing for this video because I'm looking for a new hose sprayer. I currently have a thumb control sprayer, but when the thumb control is set to full on, I have to remove my grip from the sprayer in order to reach the thumb lever to adjust the water flow and that is a pain. It looks like that Orbit unit is the way to go. Keep up the great work Keav!

@elisenotes 13 күн бұрын

Thanks. I have a fairly large property and the challenge has been to find hose connectors/accessories that do not reduce flow rate. Nobody talks about the inner bore of the piece - some are as small as a 1/4" while others can be 3/8 making a huge difference if you have them before a 400ft hose.

@CarsWithKeav 13 күн бұрын

Yeah at that length pressure and flow drop becomes an issue. Correct not all inner diameters are created equal. You need good inner diameter hoses as well at that length.

They work well my only problem with squeeze ones is sometimes you get hand fatigue having to squeeze for so long. Of course have not found the perfect sprayer yet for the garden hose. They all have some type of flaw.

@Bobi816 Ай бұрын

There’s 100ft from my garden hose spout to where I wash my car. Should I get a 3/4 hose instead of a 5/8 for that length or does that not matter for pressure & GPM? I ordered the Orbit btw!

@CarsWithKeav Ай бұрын

If going over 50ft I would always go with a 3/4 hose. I’m the garage the 5/8 is good, but in the yard outside I run 200 foot of 3/4 hose. Orbit is such a great sprayer best value out there.

Have not had them long enough to know long term durability yet, but many in the comments have had the Orbit for very long periods of time and it does well.
