Is this 1/2" hose powerful enough to clean off a deck and chairs/washing a car? or is it only suitable for watering plants?

The nozzle that comes with the unit can be adjusted from fine mist to a powerful stream of water.

I don't think so. But should be good for watering plants. Thats what I use it for

I've been using it for my cars for some time, so it should handle a mower pretty well. Only thing is mine leaked it's hydraulic fluid over time and became less effective

Not a use I would recommend for this pump. For watering a garden through a hose, and assuming the garden is more than 10-15 feet away from the rain barrel, you need a pump with greater capacity. Reminder, this is a battery operated pump for occasional use and for light duty.

Bill,I haven't used the dust collector much since I bought it and don't yet have any experience with a 1-1/2" hose. I have however used it with my radial arm saw. I have a collection hood behind the blade connected with a 4" pipe. Very little blow by, great suction. As I said, my experience with the machine is limited at this time, but what experience I have is really good. I'm excited to use it more.

Hi, the hand held has about 59-60 in hose. Not sure exactly what you are asking about other question? The height is dependent on where your hook up is located. THe main head and handheld are about equal in position. It would probably be fine for washing a dog, I would just worry about the water pressure.

This a one powerful pump. It pumps my pool cover after heavy rains very quickly. The hose is 25 feet long and approximately 2 1/2 to 3 feet above the pump. While I can't really say with certainty that it will do what you need it to do, based upon the job it does for me, I feel confident that it will perform beyond your expectations. Good Luck! :-)

I hooked this up to a water hose for a sink outside, works great just right to have room to wash hands and put a water can under to water plants. hope this helps.

Not sure but this hose was hard to move around. If you keep it in the same area permanently, it will be fine. I prefer the old fashioned soakers that are light weight and green vinyl. It is a very efficient use of water, when you do not have auto sprinkilers.

The hose is how you would clean everything - no other way to clean up. We used it mainly for dog and cat accident spots. We did use it once on a microfiber chair that had drool all over it - the machine did a great job. I would really only use it for spots and cleaning a piece of furniture here or there.

Thomas, I used mine for spraying herbicides and would have expected the Chapin to also be suitable for watering plants. A word of caution however in that I had to return my unit after the pumping unit broke within just a couple of weeks. Personally, I would spend a bit more and get the Stihl unit. Good luck with the watering.

Yes, this can crimp 1/2" OD hose. We've done it and it works very good. This is good tool.

I have never had a flex hose. Consumer Reports, at first, liked the flex hose, but after getting negative letters on it, changed its opinion and doesn't recommend it.I like my 1/2" Boat hose & recommend it. Of course, a regular 1/2" garden hose would also do the job. A hose is a hose is a....

Nope, I use mine for sweeping the garage floor and blowing off my sidewalks and garage approach and it works beautifully for that. I am not sure what it would do with the cleaning of rain gutters. If the leaves weren't packed down, I would think that it would work.

I haven't had any problems with diminished flexibility -- understand that this is coiled and one has to pull it to get it straight to gain the needed length. Getting it back to the coiled state takes a bit more effort, but isn't difficult. It doesn't have a lot of pressure --- you would need a 5/8" inch hose and a good nozzle for that. It certainly can be used to wash a car, but if you need high pressure to get off specific debris, it might not do it. I've never used it for washing a car, so I can only guess ---

I haven't used it to wash a car, but I imagine it would work just fine. You just hook one end of the filter up to the hose, and the other to the sprayer head. Has normal water pressure and everything.
