"hose length can be a sneaky culprit."
Yeah, hose length is often overlooked. I've seen plenty of setups where people add extensions thinking it'll help—usually does the opposite. Shortening it even by a few feet can make a noticeable difference, worth a shot imo.
I ran into this exact issue last summer—thought a longer hose would give me more flexibility, but it just killed my water pressure. Ended up trimming about 3 feet off, and the improvement was immediate. Definitely agree that

Yeah, hose length is one of those sneaky things you don't think about until you're scratching your head wondering why the pressure dropped.
Good catch trimming it back—sometimes the simplest fixes make the biggest difference."hose length can be a sneaky culprit."
Good point—hose length definitely matters. A couple other sneaky things I've run into:
- Check the hose diameter too, narrower hoses can choke flow.
- Inspect fittings closely; even minor corrosion buildup can really mess with pressure.
- And don't underestimate those cheap shut-off valves...they clog easier than you'd think.
"sometimes the simplest fixes make the biggest difference."
Exactly...been there more times than I'd like to admit.
Totally agree on those shut-off valves—had one clog up on me mid-project, nightmare. A couple more things I've noticed:
- Watch out for overly tight pipe bends; sharp angles can really kill your water pressure.
- Also, don't skimp on thread tape...small leaks add up fast.
