Best Solution Line

[Living The Dream]

What is the best solution line these days? I'm not worried about cost. I just want something with the least amount of memory, doesn't bleed on the carpet, and can take high heat.

Friday I was doing a post construction clean at a historical building that was being remodeled and my line blew right at my QC on/off valve. I'm glad I wasn't using high heat because it sprayed me right in the face, which was still actually pretty dang hot.

In my opinion, Goodyear is like Cool Cuffs. It’s fashionable to hate it, but it’s still the best.

30142 Carpet Cleaning Hose for Hot and Cold Water Use, 3000 PSI, 1/4 Inch by 100 Feet, Blue​

Bought this cheep hose on Amazon 4 years ago. Best hose I ever used. I bought 2 more for when it finally crapped out but its still going strong. had it cut down from 100 to 50.

I’ve never liked the weight of steel braided hose. The only other I ‘ve used is thermoplastic hose, so therefore super flex and parflex 1035ht are the only other hoses I’ve used. Parflex for the win, love it or hate it.

used Parflex which takes a long time to lose that fishing line coiling. Switched to Cobbs hose and like it better.

Hand coiled Parkers is my favorite..

I currently use that OEM hose blue in color and I believe Cobb's sold it at one point.. I bought it off amazon.. Decent hose for the price but it's grabby as in doesn't slide well..

Goodyear or eaglewash has been my favorite. But I think eaglewash was recently bought out from another company. Same quality, just a different stamp on it

Zero complaints so far

Westpak has sold it for decades with no chronic issues.

I've used it for years as long as your machine isn't a flame thrower, I get 2 years on avg, and then a small pin hole leak and I replace it.

Never had one explode like good year


Ps 100 ft for under a $100 on Amazon.

Same stuff Cobbs and bristor sold blue OEM.

It is a little stiff at first but when on use will relax.

You guys must be using piss warm water because my titan575 was too hot for that drinking straw of a hose. I went through several of them when I experimented with it. Waste of money

What like a bulge and the end ?

Not everyone’s a Matt..

I also used it on my #4LG heater..

Same with Parker.. OEM hose I use is 200’ hand coiled.. Not steelbraided, but I do use a 25’ leader line of Neptune off both my SteamGenie and #4LG heater..

YMMV
