My solution line burst

[Living The Dream]

I've had this solution line for 5 years and it finally went. I've got lot ls more solution line on my real, but I'm going to replace it all. My lead is going to be 150' because not very often do I go over that. What's the best solution line out there that can handle high heat, doesn't bleed, and doesn't create memory? Is there such a thing?

We use Good Year Neptune. As soon as I get it from my hose supplier, I use double wall heat shrink (3:1 shrink ratio), and apply 3 layers on the wand end.
1: 8” piece, shrink over hose and crimp.
2: 12” piece over crimp, 8” piece, and hose.
3: 18” piece over crimp, 12” piece, 8” piece and hose.

Feed end from TM, 8” piece over crimp and hose.
2: 12” piece over 8” piece, and hose.

Using this system, my hose NEVER fails close to crimp….

HOWEVER, we do crazy amounts of hours, and the hose wears out prematurely…

I get 4 months out of a hose.

I buy 265’ 3 Times a year..

I've found eaglewash to be my favorite. It lasts the same amount of time as the goodyear and is more flexible

How many hrs a year do you put on your hose?

I tried the 150 lead because of commercial. But man, that’s a pita. I hated it. I haven’t found anything without a memory, it’s like AI.

How many hrs a year do you put on your hose?

I have no idea per year, BUT, I do anywhere from 8-14 hrs a day, 6 days a week….

I wish I could find a local here in NV that works on Parflex...

Loves black death.

Parker type hoses get pinoles 2-3 years in and then you replace zero black death ever.

It’s all I’ve ever known since I was 15 years old. I was taught to keep busy at all times.

My interpretation of that was to make money while staying busy…

It’s been very lucrative in my adult life…

What lengths do you typically run?

I saw somewhere that when you first get the solution line, you should get it real hot, stretch it straight out, let it cool, then reel it up, and it will help reduce memory for future use.

Eaglewash all the way!

Rubber hoses with steel braiding should be replaced once in two years if not every year. Their longevity depends on many factors
( harsh weather- cold or hot) running temperatures -180°-
240° or higher) and care
( kinks, getting run over by a vehicle, etc.) No matter what solution hose you get, it will develop coil memory. Rubber hoses are more pliable; thermoplastic hoses
( polyethylene ) are more rigid. Hoses with steel braiding will develop gunk and rust over time( risk of black death) when they burst. I have used thermoplastic hoses for almost three years ( very light, 150 ' section weighs less than 50' section rubber hose. I'll be replacing them this year mainly because of aesthetic blemishes.
You can explore buck- a- foot solution line or high heat solution line from JB, if you don't want to pay three or four bucks a foot. Do more research and decide.

The 2 absolute worst hoses on the market right now is the Aerotech Flexion hose (went through over 400ft under a year) and The cobbs plastic hose (pinholes all the time when I had my titan)

I've tried all of them except crazy joe's and parker.

And eagle wash gave me the longest, most reliable experience

Just normal 50fters. It’s really not solution hose that is a pita, but vacuum hoses. Too much of that out is the pain, or just not quite enough
