I read somewhere that 10ft was the max you should go. But I would think you could splice two 6ft ones together and still be fine.

I don't know the official answer to this. I traded my 6' hose in for an 8' hose and I much prefer the longer hose. I haven't noticed any changes since I did that.

I switched to an 8 foot hose this past week and really like the extra length.
