It sounds as if it was possibly bad hose (formulation) IMHO. Further, it also sounds like the older style heavier hose which would have a lot more tension at the cuff area where it drops off to the floor. I would think that
Prochem would or should back that up, ofcourse, not knowing the exact details (??)
That, btw, is also the reason many years ago, we went to the superflex light weight industrial style.
