Default long hose

I got a situation where i will need about 400 ft of hose to hook into water. i have a 5000psi and 5gpm hot water maching that is currently hooked up to a 500gallon tank. I cannot get the water supply close enough. Has anyone used this much hose off a spigot? does anyone see any issues?

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I have and still do use that much hose on one center I do, So far I have had no problems but I guess it depends on the water pressure coming off the bib. I have one center that the water pressure is real low, so I let it fill my tank about 3/4 full and I can get by. I have a 370 gal setup. But for the most part you should be fine if it has good pressure off the bib. Mine is 8 gpm.
