Tell me about your hose. Is it long? Does it expand? Good stream?
 

I'm shopping for a garden hose and while at first I was looking into those light weight expansion hoses, people keep reporting they have a tendency to produce inconsistent streams.

I now see these new stainless steel hoses and I'm intrigued.

I'm looking to hook up one of those power washing attachments with soap dispensers to clean the outside of my place, the windows and screens as well as the porch.

Any advice is welcome and appreciated. 👍😎

Yes. Hell Yes. Hell to the yes.

It’s ****in February
You wanna snow scoop?
sec

Move out of the snowbelt!

It's 78 degrees here in AZ. :D

I've had a 50' expandable hose for 3 years now. It works great and shows no signs of wear, but it definitely doesn't have the same pressure as a traditional hose

Just no pictures please! :LOL:

What is the reason for that? :hmmm:

I'm guessing it has to do with the lining and smaller diameter, but don't quote me on that

whatever the problem is- I am sure there is a pill to fix it

rigidity

Dammit! And I just got it all out for the picture! Now I have to put that whole damned thing away again?

Take it for a walk....ROFL

i bought a pocket hose last year. I only use them for watering and washing the car.

They are great.

No more messing with kinks, or the stupid hose holders. I have broken too many of those. And the cheap green hoses suck. Boom. In the trash

Don't use expandable hoses on a pressure washer.

Mine was starved for flow. When I hooked a normal hose up it was fine.

Do you want a pic of my hose???

Quoted. :D

Water pressure is lost keeping the hose expanded in length and diameter.

If you can find a hose that lasts more than a few years in this heat, let me know.

I'd pay good money for one but even the ones I've tried don't make it more than a few summers.

I think it's the sun more than the heat. Put it inside one of those covered hose reel housings or just take it inside the garage when you are done.

I have a lot of plants! Most are on drippers/bubblers but I like to supplement some of the fruit or tropical trees with the hose. It's such a pain putting it away all the time. ****!!!!!!!!

I have used this for plants. I am going to set it up this year and only use my hose for washing vehicles.

I've never used the garden hose, but Flexzilla makes the best airhoses in the market.

That's my recommendation.

You too Lew, they handle the sun well.

Its over the national average, and still expands just fine... but the stream isn't always so hot these days, at age 50 I'm afraid its maybe time for the doc to take a trip down Moon River

Oh! you meant garden hose...

The covered hose reel w/automatic reel from Costco. Life changer.

Bought one of these ~2.5 years ago and haven't had any issues with streams... and more importantly, no kinks. I ****ing hate kinks in my hose.

Link me Boo.

Like I know how to do any of that technology shit. Lol. But I will text you a pic this week

I'm a cheap ass and put shelf brackets in my shed. The wife feels compelled to spend money so we now have a rolling cart that goes in the shed.

I'm telling you though, fool. Flexzilla

By this week, I mean I just texted you right now.

Oohhhhh that does look nice. I might wait until they get the 100' in stock. I have a manual hose reel back there but seriously, it's such a pain in the ass to do that multiple times per week.

You attached a nude to the end of those texts but anyway...........


I never knew those existed.

Link for those interested. They also make wall mounting ones but I do not like putting anything into the Stucco here.

Dawg,

Mine shoots a strong and accurate stream.

Not my hose. Exact opposite here. Pressure goes way up the thicker and longer it gets.

LMAO

Hoses are like tools. Spend the extra money and get the expensive and good one.

Has anyone bought or know anyone who owns one of these new stainless steel hoses?

I'm wondering if a good idea. :hmmm:

Looks gimmicky. The shit ass pot metal they use in the “brass” fittings would fail long before stainless. Seems dumb and weird.

If you’re looking for a premium hose buy the Flexzilla linked above.

We run 6 Flexilla air hoses every day for years and they hold up. All the other air hoses in the past died in some fashion or just sucked within a year.

We have the lightweight expandable hose for whenever the boyfriend does water changes on the aquarium (125 gallons), watering the garden, or hooking up a water toy for the kiddo outside. Otherwise, we use the heavier, sturdier hose for most jobs outside.

We're on our third expandable hose in three years. The first one we bought didn't last long, but we liked it well enough to give it a second chance. The second one lasted until I didn't see where someone left it laying in the yard whenever I mowed last fall, so we got our third.

Have bought various expandable hoses over the years to wash my car and they always break. I’d still rather be replacing them versus using a bullshit traditional hose. Latest is a bunjee hose I bought at Sams. It has been completely fine but will probably also break.

Heard about those flexzilla hoses before and probably try next.

I really hope the Flexzilla garden hoses don't suck LOL.

But I can say the airhoses are legit. I've had one on the compressor in my pickup for 10 years, and it is still flexible and has held together. And it's always in the sun and abused.
We had some fairly high dollar good year hoses that were complete garbage comparatively.

You getting this to water the new pot plants you can grow here?!?!

I’ve heard about them on auto detailing forums so I imagine they are good.

I think you're going to need a traditional well built standard hose for your pressure washer. You don't want to under power the water flow, it can screw up your pump.

I might have to plant a little herb in my backyard and sell it to all the people in my retirement community as medical marijuana.

You might be on to something there!

Been down the Goodyear road.

It wasn't such a good year using them.

We've still got a few around. Dad is too cheap to get the **** rid of them. I'll string out a 100' Flexzilla from the back of the shop before I'll unroll 10' of those good year ****s.

God they're the worst.

EDIT: Not the worst. But comparatively bad.

When one googles TinyEvel famous quotes, that one is going first on the list.

Bought the 75' Flexilla 5/8".

Ditto.

We have around 300' of hose to water the gardens from 3 different spigots. I was tired of buying cheap stuff.

Those fancy plastic roll up hose containers, also crap. Those moveable steel hose reels, after a few years the tires go flat or the seal around the rotating bearing goes out.

Get an old wheel and mount it on the wall:)

Also, post a shampoo bottle next to your hose to see how long it is.

This Flexilla hose kinks worse than a $10 Walmart green garden hose.

Pain in the ass.

Sorry man. The air hose is the best on the market.

A lot more pressure in that tiny hose than is in my water one.

No worries. :D

damn thing sprung a leak today. Just under 1 year old. I dont think I snagged it on anything. disappointed.

bump

need
100 ft
no kink
expandable
Not doing a crank or hose holder ever again

From past use-I believe it is best to let the water out of the expandable otherwise the water heats up and destroys the hose.

You need a grower not a shower..

I'm currently fighting with the City over an ID case.

I'll lose. They'll blight it and take it.

It's ugly though. I'm guessing 3 school board members lose elections over it.

I’ve probably popped 6-7 of those damn expandable hoses. Doesn’t take much for those to eat shit
