Got a larger hose to deal with high water pressure (125psi static) and maintain water pressure to the end of the line. My water pressure has popped 3 different hoses. Not this one - this hose is thick, can take the pressure, and can handle being dragged around. It is heavy though, so this may not be appropriate for others. I bought a 5/8" for the back of the house - also holding up to the water pressure
