How Long Should a Pressure Washer Hose Be

The maximum recommended length for your garden hose is 100 feet. The maximum recommended length for the high pressure hose is 60 feet. The pressure washer may operate at lengths beyond this, but performance will suffer, and detergent injection may not operate satisfactorily.

Does hose length affect pressure washer?

The longer the hose the longer you’ll have to wait. Not much else to add. One power washer will tell you 50-feet is the practical limit and another will tell you 250-feet. Weighing-up time saved, effort and risk you won’t want to regularly wash more than 150 or 200-feet from your power washer reel.

Is a 50 foot hose long enough?

If you’re buying a hose to use with a pressure washer, check the washer manufacture’s recommendations on hose length. Depending on your water pressure, a 50-foot hose is generally as long as you should use.
