I have a question for the Aerotech, Everest, 870, Propane, and any other crazy heat users

What Solution hose do you prefer to use? My OCD hose kept popping holes. I'm assuming the heat. And my hydroforce hose hasn't lasted 6 months. Black water today. I got it re crimped, but my crimping guy said he thinks the hose is bad because the crimps looked good. We'll see tomorrow. Heat is killing them. I'm addicted to the heat. What do you big guys use?

Neptune from Windtrax. Replace every 6 months if running crazy heat.

Well, I just hit 6 months with my hydroforce. I’d really like the lead hose to last at least 12 months

I do probably get 12 months running 230+ with a high heat butler. Neptune is better and cheaper than anything I've bought from one of our industry specific suppliers, imo.

You don't need super high heat for prespray. It dosent suck as well anyway. HF hoses should last years. Currently trying the HF hose and like it better than Neptune.

I did a job yesterday after I recrimped the HF hose and it was still in good shape. I hope it holds up to the everest heat.

I think where the hose meets the crimp you have open wire brade which corrodes quicker than the rubber breaks down. I usually recrimp once or twice. Then I just don't trust it. Plus by then its leaving blue on the driveway.

Continental / Goodyear from Wintrax. Replace every 12 months like clockwork. Have not re-crimped a hose in 12 years or more. LG#4. I only replace the first 100’. The rest of my hose is in 100 and 50’ sections. It last many years.

This happened today. My heat was turned off on this job. I hate summer heat
