And when is the last time you replaced it? I went to replace a brass fitting on mine yesterday and noticed that my finger was black when I cut out the old rubber over the fitting from the wore out rubber inside the hose. We never talk about those hoses wearing out like the "black death" ss braided hoses. It's worth looking at. I'm wondering how long my hose has been that way. Oh well...new garden hose is now on the reel, and my water box is flushed out
How old is your water supply hose?

The water supply hoses don't have to stand the heat as much as solution hose. Although they can get pretty warm just laying in the sun on a summer day. A decent water supply hose should last 5 years and probably longer. Still they should get replaced once in a while. You don't want it failing when you are out on a job.

I bought a 100 ft red hose for $20 this summer. It works.

I’ve gone through several rigs over the years.
The longest I’ve kept one was 12 years, or so.
Never replaced a water supply hose.

I use 3/8' air hose on the truck, 3 x 50' spools with garden qc and ball valve on each.
At the house I fill with a 3/4" garden hose that ends up being replaced every year because it does full time gardening and grandkid duty.

I use a premium 1/2 inch rubber hose with ball valves on either end. We hook up on every job and this hose lasts forever. Coils easily even in cold weather.
I thought mine would last forever also. But that black water I saw proved my theory wrong. I just bought a cheapo green colored garden hose to get to the next job. I'm gonna look for a 3/8 air hose to put on it so I can get a longer hose run in the next few months

Are you the king of Georgia now?
We use air compressor hose as well, holds up way better and 100ft fits on the reel easily
I'm one of the first few to have these so called "crowns". It's a new technology here in georgia.
I'm one of those guys that looks good...from a distance ONLY

From the looks of things its not the only time you cheaped out.
Ok ok. The “do it yourself” paint on Bed liner was a failure

Every time I turn this hose on it foams for about 3 or 4 gallons until it flushes it out.
Something to think about.

You should go to a doctor and have that looked at.
I took @Hack Attack s advice on the orange 3/8” air hose. I managed to fit 200ft on this reel instead of the 125’ of normal hose that was on it. Plus, it’s a lot lighter and puts less stress on the water spigots
