I needed to drain my Koi Pond, as it turned into a Fly Through Sushi take-out for the gorgeous cranes. I am a 67 yr old grandmother, and I did this in an afternoon. I used a de-watering pump and this hose. Originally I purchased the 25' hose but it just wasn't long enough. I used this 105' hose to drain the pond and it was long enough to reach all the way to the front yard where I watered new plants and trees with that nutrient rich water! I'm not going to lie, it was heavy, without water flowing through it, and needed some girl power engineering to get it up and over the fence without kinking. But I will use this for many applications around my little acre.
