Notes

Special glue is required if we go from HDPE to PVC - see http://www.ehow.com/how_8641794_glue-hdpe.html

160 PSI water hose - 1" inner diameter water hose (under 50 cents per foot) over 200 feet - does not reduce air flow and is 2x cheaper than $1/foot for 1/2" air hose
Water hose is not so flexible, so 1/2" air hose is still desirable at the end.
