need advice on a long hosepipe (like 40/50m) and sprinklers

Hi

I've got a large garden(around 450m2) lawn that is desperate for some water. I recently moved into the house and have an older hosepipe (like 10years but its fairly short for what I need).
The thing is I don't think the water that comes out of it is a particular stronger force (it might just be me). I would like to get something like a 40m hozelock auto reel (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hozelock-Auto-Reel-40m-Hose/dp/B0046REBS0/ref=sr_1_13?th=1) but I'm nervous that it might not work for what I'm looking for or perhaps I need something else to help boost it. I'm also looking for a sprinkler but do not know which one I should get or what I should be looking out for.


Any advice greatly appreciated.

 

I have a 60M Hozelock and it is ideal. I get full pressure and even with the sprinkler on it, it will spray 15 feet into the air. As with any hose, the pressure you get depends on the mains pressure you have at the tap. If your tap is supplied from a tank at low pressure then the output at the end of the hose will be low.
I just bought this sprinkler

and it is excellent.

 

What he said.
Unless your hose has a leak, it doesn't matter how long it is. The pressure at the end will be the same as the pressure directly at the tap. So it all comes down to the sprinklers used

 

There will be some loss of pressure due to resistance inside the hosepipe, but over a length of 40m this would be negligible. The water pressure in my house is average, while my step daughter, who lives at the bottom of the hill from us, has a very high pressure. Video below shows you how to measure the flow rate. After all this there is very little you can practically do to improve it. You should be OK with the hosepipe in 99% of UK households

 

I had bad pressure for years until I had the pipes replaced from the meter, or most of them anyway due to a leak.
The old iron pipes were full of rust.

The pressure is better now.

Recently had a new tap installed in the kitchen and was surprised to find it had really small diameter pipe in the connection.
Pretty useless really, the plumber said they do that to stop it splashing.
I just turn it on and go off and do something else while I wait for the sink to fill up.

 

At least in the garden, we don't have that problem. We have a high performance water pump and our own well in the garden (thank you for sparing no expenses previous owner).
When I open the hose, I can almost pressure wash the stone flooring of my patio without any further equipment.

But yeah, in older pipes around the house rust and limescale is a much bigger problem that it should be in a rubber garden hose.

 

I used speedfit pipes to run water down to the greenhouse and then added a hose connection to it…….the line is burried under the new gravel i put down.

you could buy lengths of speedfit and T off it at certain points with speedfit taps

 

There is no loss of pressure but there will be a reduction in flow. Over the lengths we are talking about, not enough to notice.
