This hose...

[Mugwump]

I don't imagine that anybody but I needs a 1" hose, but here's the low down.  The green hose that Dennis pointed out is actually a 3/4" hose with 1" fittings although it was advertised as a 1" hose.  Pissed me off because it was not what they said it was.  I ordered 2 more of the real 1" hoses and boy oh boy can I drain water fast!  I can use the green hose at the shop for the 125 but I still feel like they misled me.

..at least ya got it working for ya.....

Pissed me off because it was not what they said it was.

I'd send it back and contact them to complain.  When we do nothing these rip-offs are allowed to continue.

I know that you are right, but it's too much trouble   I'll use it at the shop.  I did post a review with a picture.  Look at the pic.  You can see the difference in the diameters of the two hoses

A small bit of satisfaction...Northern Tool said that it would have to approve my review before I posted it.  I'd bout given up hope that they'd post it.  It went up today, a week later.  At least now nobody who reads the reviews will be fooled. 

I know that 10' of the real 1" hose costs an arm and a let but I wanted it and you would not believe the difference it makes.  I have to work fast to vacuum the 20's, 29's and 30's or I suck out out more water that I need to.  If I still had 10's set up I would have to siphon them with the pump turned off.

I'm glad I bought the Northern Tool hose even though it wasn't what it said it was.  I'm not taking it to the shop.  I don't need it there and it's too good a hose to waste on that single 125 tank where I stick fish that I no longer care about.  I needed it to transfer RO water to the breeding tanks.  I've been using this crap 1/2" potable water hose on my 1/2 hp sump pump.  Dang thing is so soft it kinks at any excuse.  Can you imagine what putting that killer 3/4" hose on a 1/2  hp sump pump will make?
