⚠️ Key takeaways:
-
At garden hose pressures (60–100 psi), 300 ft of 5/16" ID hose barely delivers half to three-quarters of a gallon per minute — practically unusable.
-
At pressure washer pressures (1000+ psi), it can still push some flow, but nowhere near the capacity of the pump — the restriction wastes energy as heat and pressure drop.
-
For runs longer than ~100 ft, you’d want to step up to 3/8" or 1/2" hose to keep usable flow.
