I have some big unweldy hose that I want to replace. I don't know much about the water pressure at my house, maybe it's normal maybe it's low. Looking up hoses on-line there seems to be a very big split between the "5/8th is good" and "you must get 3/4th!"

I'm looking at the Good Year 5/8 they sell at Lowes and a Never Kink 5/8 on-line. I've decided to buy a water pressure test gauge to see if a 3/4 hose would even make a difference.
I can't find a direct comparison between these 2 hoses, both get good reviews. Anyone here used both and care to comment?

Here's my pressure washer question, I'm looking to get a basic Greenworks 1700psi unit. Assuming I test the water pressure and a 3/4 hose puts out more water, would I even notice it using the pressure washer?
