Water Right 400 Series Polyurethane Garden Hose, 7/16 in x 50 ft
Lightest per foot of the hoses TechGearLab weighed, on a narrow bore — Water Right's 7/16-inch polyurethane hose, 50 ft, sold and shipped by Water Right itself. TechGearLab weighed this 400 Series line at 6.3 lb for 103 ft, the lightest per foot of the hoses it weighed here, and found it "practically bounced out of kinks". Water Right prints flow at a stated pressure, 4 gallons per minute at 40 psi, which is also its catch: about 70 minutes to raise a 15 by 30 ft pool 1 inch. Its own maximum working pressure is 50 psi. It holds 4.5★ across 1,951 (309 written reviews of this version).

Pros
- The lightest per foot of the hoses TechGearLab weighed here: 6.3 lb for 103 ft of this 7/16-inch line
- TechGearLab: "the WaterRight was so snappy that it practically bounced out of kinks during testing"
- Water Right prints its flow at a stated pressure, 4 gallons per minute at 40 psi
- Water Right says "The formulations we use meet both FDA and NSF standards for drinking water safe applications", a claim about its polyurethane, not a certification listing
- Sold and shipped by Water Right Inc., the maker
Cons
- Slow to fill anything big: 4 gallons per minute at 40 psi is about 70 minutes to raise a 15 by 30 ft pool 1 inch, and an owner of the 100 ft length writes that it "significantly lacks the pressure because of the skinny width"
- Water Right rates it at 50 psi maximum working pressure, with a 3:1 safety factor to 150 psi; the 150 psi on the Amazon listing is that rupture margin, not a working rating
- Owners struggle to put it away: 5 of its 10 newest written critical reviews describe kinking or a hose that will not coil ("almost impossible to coil up")
- 2 of those 10 describe a fitting that failed within about six weeks, one of them in a basement
- The rating pools the 25, 50, 75 and 100 ft lengths and colours; 309 written reviews are of this version
Handling and the narrow bore. The newest critical reviews say it is "very thin walled and easily kinks", "almost impossible to coil up" and "rigid and difficult to unravel"; on flow, "This hose is way too narrow for any real water delivery" and the 100 ft "significantly lacks the pressure because of the skinny width". Two describe a fitting failure: "Failed. Flooded Basement" at under six weeks, and an attachment that "started popping off after just over a month".

“This is by far the best hose I have ever owned. I purchased it 6 years ago and it is always outside in the Sacramento, CA weather, still flexible and in great shape.”— Johannes Stein, Amazon · Verified owner
Pro review “The Eley and Dramm both actively resisted and rolled out of kinks, and the WaterRight was so snappy that it practically bounced out of kinks during testing.”Hands-on test; TechGearLab buys every product it tests. Tested at 100 ft: its 'Water Right 400 Series Slim' (this 7/16-inch line) measured 103.00 ft and 6.3 lb. The 100 ft is one of the lengths on this card's listing; we link the 50 ft.
