Is it a heavy hose Chris? I mean at the end to roll up and lug around?

I never realize there was a big difference in regular garden hose, Thanks for the heads up!

 

I like the green one!

Chris, 1 inch hose is even better, we just did not have enough room on our trucks for it.
This hose is light, and incredibly strong.
We like Fire Hose Type Nozzles Chris, they can drench AND allow you to stand back on a windy day and shoot the plants too!

But water nozzles depend a lot on the local water pressure.

Wells are notoriusly low about water pressure, that makes BIG water hose even more important, to preserve what little pressure you have left!

I used to use 1 inch water hose, me Personally, but you must remember Apple Roof Cleaning Tampa is not me in a Trcuk.
We are a real roof cleaning company, with 2 full time trucks runing the streets of Tampa.

The 1 inch hose got "ooohs and aahss" from our custmers when we drug it cross their grass.
Makes you LOOK professional, IMHO! 

When you start watering their plants with an ordinary garden hose, they have a tendency to think, "Chit, I could have done that"

They see the big 3/4 or 1 inch hose, it makes you LOOK good

     Mean Green is a Mean Machine! If you don't have one, go get one now! The flow is awesome, and 75 ft. of 3/4 hose weighs around 6 lbs! It should be in every roof cleaner's arsenal.

One should always have a few nozzles around, for any water pressure situation you encounter.
Big Lots  used to sell plastic small fire hose nozzles for 7 bucks each.
Often times, especially on low water pressure houses, the smaller nozzles are sometimes better.

Chris, I dont like these lever type fire hose nozzles.
The water hose always winds up in the grass, you pull it, and the lever bends as it snags.
In the best case, your azz gets wet, most times it ruins the nozzle.

I prefer the simply screw type fire hose nozzles.

 

Great advice, thanks..... dilution is the solution!  Perfect

Chris, what type of nozzle is that on the end of your guys ball valve? I'm assuming that is the chem hose?
