: The size of the hose would make a difference in less pressure and greater
: volume or flow. The smaller the hose the greater the pressure required to
: move the same volume.

Thanks David. The system does have some air in it and I'm concerned that the air will tend to break the suction. I guess air enters through the piston ring. Will I start to get poor suction if the hose diameter gets too great?
