THIS WEEK’S FIELD THOUGHTS

Are you looking to replace the old field hose you have been using? You may not be sure which type of hose to buy, but luckily Beacon has plenty of experience with the various hoses we sell. They have all been rigorously tested at our research facility at West Madison Little League. At the facility, our hoses are out in the elements all day long, every day, to give them the full abuse. They are left on the infields from April through October where they are plugged in and used several times a day to hydrate the infield skins. Our irrigation system operating pressure is 90 psi. We have taken note about how long, on average, each of these hoses typically lasts and how they will likely fail over time as they wear. Based on the testing that we have conducted at our facility, along with customer feedback and tendencies, I have ranked the hoses according to your typical “Good, Better, Best” rating…
