Solution Hose New Year Sale

[Cleanworks]

This plating is more durable than common coatings.

I was told it was yellow zinc.

Stainless crimps are at least 3X the cost of plated crimps.

I know it is more expensive but what is the price for ss or brass compared to plated? I think a lot of people would rather pay a little more for the durability as long as it is not too outrageous.

Hay Larry I need two hoses a couple cases of brightner and the part for my spinner that spins

I agree.
When buying, just give us the option. I would pay more and buy the stainless. Too late for me though.

I need this Larry I’ll call Monday

 

[Mikey P]

I used the Larry hose today on carpet and upholstery

Noticeably lighter than Parflex

Noticeably more flexible

Does not feel as hot to the touch


The skin is tacky/grabby as well as a pita to hand coil but I'll assume both will get easier as it breaks in


Only time will tell on the durability and longevity, but it sure appears to be a winner.



I dont think I'll use it anymore, I want it to look new for the RMH raffle.


Thanks for letting me try it Larry, by the time our Parflex needs replacing this stuff should be well tested.

On the first run, I’m liking it. I’m a little curious though... when I pull the trigger after several dry passes, the sound of the water shooting out is quieter than it normally sounds. After a few wet passes, it sounds normal. I don’t think it’s steam, but I’ve been wrong before. Any clues?

The hose says "No Steam". You better pull all that off your truck immediately.

My water doesn’t get hotter than 235f. And this hose is rated at 250f. I’m not worried.

Last I checked steam was 212°

 

[Nomad74]

Matt, I'm sorry. I just can't do it anymore to you. I'm just screwing with you. Like the time I told you that you can't use your Cimex because it didn't have a built in breaker. lol

You’re a SUMBITCH! You really had me worried on that also. Dude, I drove a 6hr round trip to get that cimex and was driving myself crazy trying to figure out how and where to put a stupid breaker on it

Last I checked steam was 212°

Steam is not 212 degrees. That's just the boiling point of water. Your machine does not produce steam. It produces super heated water which passes through the hose. True steam machines usually start at around 300-400 degrees. Can get much hotter for specific operations.

 

[BIG WOOD]

I was thinking the opposite of steam this morning. Freezing. What happens to the hose if the water freezes? Since there's no black rubber inside, I think...Does it damage the hose somehow if it's frozen with both ends not open?

Cough cough Damon!

See, you do need to be nagged.

The new blue hose has a white inner tube.

We have frozen some with no immediate damage, like the black water we would see immediately with wire-braid hose.

Freezing is tough for any carpet cln. hose, as pressure can rise to 5000 PSI or so.

The 3000 PSI rating on the new is much higher than the PARFLEX 1750 psi.

 

[Larry Cobb]

im interested, The air hose we use for fresh incoming water is thermoplastic and its actually really nice.

Is there any possibility of getting 175ft section? thats what we always order, its the max that fits on our reels. Also its what we have found to be the perfect length to almost never need an extension.

Yes, we can do 175' length of this blue Thermoplastic hose.

Since the braid is stronger,

the new blue hose probably does not expand as much from static pressure.

That smaller pressure storage capacity doesn't make as much noise.

 

[BIG WOOD]

That kinda makes sense. Either way, I'm still happy with it. The heat shield that covers the crimps is a little flimsy, compared to what I'm used to, but it'll work. Is that your product, or does that come from the hose company?

 

[Larry Cobb]

We have a black vinyl heat shield that is slightly longer:

But I like the factory model since it keeps the hose at the crimp cooler and it should prolong life under the strain relief.

It does feel good, but it kept sliding down

 

[Larry Cobb]

A dab of Goop where it slides over the crimp should stop that.

 

[Mikey P]

It is a very nice shield

Another good trait about these hoses I've found out this week is how much easier it is to roll up the hose.

Unlike the other hoses that I have to make sure is laid out in the straightest possible lines before I roll up, These are piled up in one area, and the memory of the hoses helps untwist itself while I'm rolling it up. The other hoses would automatically twist themselves up into knots if it were rolled up this way.

Is the sale still on.

 

[Larry Cobb]

Sale is over, but it is still available at a very competitive price.

[Ron K]

very competitive price.

Do you sell custom lengths?

 

[Larry Cobb]

We have any length of new blue hose up to 200 feet.

Price is next smaller length times footage desired.

125 ft would be 1.25 x 100 ft. pricing.

Why is @Ron Werner saying it’s bubbing?

But it’s still fine?
