I trusted you this far with all my previous purchases. Parflex it isParflex.

Why do they keep selling this stuff?They are Goodyear.
I just bought 350 feet of that crap. We will toss it next summer.![]()
I don't understand what you mean with the memory???Because foo's like me keep buying it.
Its the easiest to work with but heat kills it. Parker is good stuff but I do get tired of the memory. Now we just use it for a year and replace it.
You can cut the ends back and keep using it but eventually its replacement time.
I've only had one blowout, but several black death experiences. I'm to the point to start experimenting with another type of hose.It has reel memory and wants to make loops and not lay flat. It won't give you black death and develops pin hole leaks instead of a big blow out.
6months and my 150ft of continental hose is already shooting out black water. One of the few I haven't tried yet is Parker hoses.
Has anyone else used Continental hoses? They look just like Goodyear hoses
I do love my 100' Parflex hose and I hand coil that baby.... Make big loops, do the over & under technique and you'll never have a tangled line...
I do also run a 25' goodyear off my Little Giant #4 Heater to take some of the beating I put in the hose...
Word.Parflex.

Mostly just water, but about 1/10th of all my jobs I use an acid rinse, and I experimented with a couple alkaline rinses a few months agoI have been using Goodyear/Neptune for 10 years and never had a failure. I run pretty hot now and thenWhat are you using for cleaner/rinse?

12 to 18 months.Hour often do you replace?
But when you replace it, it'll have several fern stands and an unknown number of sidewalk lights entangled in it.Parflex will last 4 or more
