Whether you are a full-time hydroseeding company or a landscaper who hydroseeds lawns for projects, having the right hydroseeding hose for your equipment can make a huge difference – saving you time, headaches and most importantly… money. Make sure you are selecting the best hose that meets your application needs and budget!
Here are a few considerations before purchasing Hydroseeding Hose or Hose Assemblies:
- Quality and Durability: Replacing hoses or having hoses fail in the field are both wastes of time and money. Make sure you look for hoses made from high-quality materials such as reinforced rubber or PVC but be sure to also check the pressure rating compared to your machine’s peak pressure output as well. Even the best hoses will fail if the pressure rating of your equipment is higher than the hose itself.
- Compatibility with Equipment: Ensure that the fittings on the hose assemblies are compatible with your hydroseeding equipment. This includes the type of fitting (such as camlock, quick-connect, or threaded), the fitting material (corrosion-resistant fittings such as brass or stainless steel) and the size (diameter) of the fittings. Mismatched fittings can lead to leaks, inefficiencies, or even damage to equipment. LeafVacuumHose.com/McGill Hose & Coupling offers all different types of fittings to meet your needs, either online or special order.
- Hose Length: Consider the length of the hose needed for your specific hydroseeding equipment and application requirements. Choose a length that provides sufficient reach without excess slack, which can impede operation.
- Chemical Compatibility: If you’ll be using herbicides, fertilizers, or other chemicals in your hydroseeding mixture, ensure that the hose material is compatible with these substances. Some chemicals can degrade certain hose materials, leading to premature failure or contamination of the seeding mixture.
- Price and Value: Find a balance between affordability and quality. While it’s tempting to opt for the cheapest option, investing in a higher-quality hose may offer better performance, durability, and overall value in the long term.
