sorry, the vauge comment came across abit misleading....

I have found that pool and spa hose is best purchased either wholesale or retail at a irrigation store, pond supplier, or aquaculture supplier.....

hose that would cost me $2.80/ft at the pool/spa place, will cost me $0.45/ft at the local irrigation supplier....

I happen to do specality plumbing for the largest local high end pool and spa business, I would not reccomend getting supplies from a pool and spa place! not cost efficient!!!
