Welcome. 5/8 hose makes a huge difference in all soft wash systems.

I hate hauling that 5/8 around though, especially on roofs

It doesn’t bother my 100lb ladies it shouldn’t bother a big strapping fellow like yourself :wink::joy:

I’m using the tsunami softwash hose from Midwest washing. It’s made in the USA! Much softer than the original orange hose I got from Powerwash.com and much easier to slide barbs in. It’s two layer, Black on the inside and almost flexzilla green on the outside. I don’t even notice a difference in weight but the flexibility is much better and I really like it.

I doubt you or your ladies hauling it up and down a 32’ ladder full of sauce. On a roof, if you’re not careful and tie it off, that sucker will try to drag you off, lol. It’s on my manual reel too, even my strapping 18yr old helper hates rolling that thing up.

Put it up from the other side of the roof and it can help as an emergency rope to keep you from falling, provided you use @MuscleMyHustle pinch clamps that is :slight_smile:

No issues on ladders or roofs. Never had it drag off. But also we aren’t using kuritec. Using 200ft of 5/8” Flextech from Panhandle Power Wash Supply.
