I’ve been having issues with quality from my current high pressure hose dealer. I was popping hoses every week so I moved to double braid, which seemed to be working well, then they changed manufacturers and the new double braid line is way too stiff. I’m running a 8gpm 3500 machine. What 3/8 hose brands are y’all buying right now? Also note: I can’t order from pressuretek because I’m in California. ---

I use to pop hoses left and right, Til I got over them and now only use Goodyear grey hoses. ---

Double braided raptor blast hose is the best I have found. I get it on ebay. You can buy it by the roll or in section mine are solid 200 foot sections 3 seasons on the same hose. ---

Ive got several hoses Im gonna try, raporblast is one, another is rexflex. Depends if the suttner brand Im using holds up. Let me ask you @procleaning, are you unrolling the full hose, or keep some on reel when using it? ---

I bought a 500 foot spool and out stainless end on them. You can buy much better swivels than any manufacturer out on. Anyway I paid somewhere are 480 I can back and check I’m sure it has gone up. Since then. I also only unroll what I need lick the reel and go seams to me like the flat spot with the raised letters on my hose keeps it from spooling. Maybe I dont have any problems with it anyway ---

I bought a 200roll and put my ends on locally, but they dont have swivels and I was on a rush. My 3/8 hose is just a tad smaller OD than your average 3/8 hose. And its poultry sanitation approved, lol. And yellow. Ive only put a few knicks in from getting it stuck between bricks and railings. ---

Goodyear’s last a long time but all hoses fail eventually. I had a Goodyear pop last week. It you won’t be popping hoses every week if you go with the Goodyear. ---

Goodyear makes good hose. They also make horrible tires. Go figure. ---
