How to Determine What Length of Hose You Need
Since the distance of an average person's step is approximately 2 -1/2 feet, a quick and simple method for calculating how much hose you need is to step off and count the number of paces from your faucet to the furthest distance you want the hose to reach. Use the table below for a quick reference.
FOR EXAMPLE, 38 paces x 2.5 feet = 95 feet. Therefore, a 100-foot hose would be an ideal fit for that particular location. Be sure to follow these guidelines:
1. Walk at a normal pace—no giant steps.
2. Walk the same path the hose will lay to reach the furthest point. No shortcuts.

I have an Eley 75 foot hose and free standing wheel. I want to extend the length of my hose by 25 feet. If I purchase a 25 foot hose, shall I replace the 6 foot inlet hose with the 25 foot hose, or shall I connect it the end of the 75 foot hose? Also, if I want to extend the hose and use a quick connect fitting, which quick connect do you recommend? Thank you.
