2" x 50' Blue PVC Lay-Flat Discharge Hose with Aluminum Pin Lug Fittings

Really glad I found this product. Works great with my sump pump and should last for a really long time.

perfect size good quality.

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.

Pumped water out of backyard no leaks in connections

This hose is definitely better/more reinforced than the flimsy hoses you see in many stores. the fittings are also solid. I got it to use with a 3500gph submersible pump for my pool if it is flooding. I did have the need to use once since we moved into our new home and it worked like a champ to drain the pool a bit. I have seen much higher grade backwash hoses but for much more money. This one should last quite a while. Bang for the buck it's a great deal.
