I now have one of each of those hoses thanks to the idiot at Leslies. I'll let you know if it helps tomorrow.
It should help.
There are lots of ways to hold the tub end of the hose at the bottom and keep it there:
Vice grips
Small children
Bare toes
Otherwise-useless spousal unit
Otherwise-useless progeny
Brick with smooth edges and corners - Can you say "Great Aunt Betty's Fruitcake from last Christmas?"
AOL discs wired together
Sock full of rocks
Wall-eyed lemurs - stuffed, of course
Large tub of fresh salad greens (this is what you use to get the Wall-eyed Lemur stuffed)
But whatever you use, the black crinkled hose should go faster than a smaller garden hose.
