Your hoses have lasted longer than than mine have for some reason. That's why I'm trying out the POTD hose pictured
Tell me more about this hose

That's a different hose than the Flexion hose that they're selling now. But it's a good one. Those lasted just as long as the grey goodyear I had

I’m going to regret saying this. I’ve been using the same Neptune for 4 years.
Hey. I admitted to 3 years.

Tomorrow is going to be crap
I’m glad it’s lasted that long
I’m loving this Flexion hose. Cooler to the touch on full heat
It’s kinda a pain to grab it with a rag on roll up time. So I rolled it up a couple times with a maroon pad grabbing it to smooth out the ridges. It’s much easier now

Joes stainless crimpless repair things work great Cobb sells them now.
Both guys you won't buy from hahahaha
I just trashed the last 150ft of the 400ft of that flexion hose yesterday. I don't think I'll order anymore of it.
Keep in mind, the entire 400ft didn't last a whole year. About every 3months, one of them would go bad. Then I'd move the hose that was used less to the lead hose on the reel. Aerotech even sent me an extra 100ft because the first section I ever used went bad in just a couple months. I originally bought 300ft. So technically, I would be making this post 3months sooner with feedback.
and no, I don't go full heat on every job. But even if I did, Aerotech says this hose holds up to the heat on their machines which puts out more heat than mine.
This hose is junk

If you don't bend the crap out of it every time you lay your wand down it will last for years.
It’s been said from someone that has more knowledge on the tools and machines In our industry that these hoses were oringinally intended for hydraulics (oils) and never for hot water.
The lazy ass manufacturers just got comfortable with the lightbulb method (hoses go bad, we buy more, they make more money
)
I’m going back to eaglewash. They have lasted the longest out of all the different brands I’ve used.

Didn't continental buy out Goodyear hose?
Yes, but somehow, All-care distributors got ahold of some goodyear hoses. It doesn’t say continental on the hose and I got the grey color.
Maybe they’ll last a long time. I’ve noticed one thing already diffrrent about these goodyears. They’re wayyy stiffer than all the other hoses I’ve used in the past
That time of year to replace my 100' solution hoses. I got good hours and know the cold/hot temperature swings coming will not help them stay good forever.
I am looking at the Hydroforce 4000. Any feedback on this one?

That hose is crap also.
Out of all the hoses I've used, eaglewash and the original goodyear before continental screwed it up was the best.
I don't know how, but All-Care distributors just sold me a goodyear original. They might still have them. If not, they sell eagle wash hoses also

How did they screw it up? By buying veyance? I don't see anything to indicate the hose construction changed as long as your actually comparing the same hose. It is just branded continental.

Remember who you’re talking to Fred
Everything wares out. Make sure the hose you are using is rated for what you are doing both in pressure and in heat. Be sure not to operate over the specs. If you are using a live reel for the solution line it will cook the hose and shorten its life. When your hose starts to feel dry and stiff replace it.
Black water came much sooner than the original goodyear
What is veyance?

You say this as if you tested it with all variables accounted for....I mean it's possible that some component has changed either because of availabilty or cost but nothing seems to indicate that.
The hose is made by the same people that made it before continental....goodyear and contitech are just brands slapped on them

even among "neptune" there are different grades. It's possible they were two different hoses

That was the best hose ever. They had to stop making it or they would not sell any replacement hoses. Still have a 3/4 100' original that I use.
