Well not really Christmas cause i had to pay for it myself… but reloaded on fittings, whip lines, o rings, injectors, etc in anticipation for new machine. Also took plunge and jumped on the Xjet train. Figured it will have its place for brick and whatnot, but cant imagine it being more time efficient than downstreaming.
Hopefully new machine will be here in a week or so. I know many here already recommend Bob at PressureTek, but cant say enough about his customer service.
Where did you get your whip lines?
Forgive the possibly ignorant question, but what is the purpose of the whip line?
To whip the customer if they say the price is too high. Works every time.
This happens a lot at this same spot on the hose, so a short “whip line” on the end of the hose where the trigger gun is allows you to throw out the whip line when it blows and replace a 2’ hose section instead of needing a hose repair. Then you can keep calm and wash on…
Oh okay, cool! Thanks for the education.

Are you suggesting that a 2’ whipline is good? Do you think that’s ideal?
Also has a swivel.
I’m not sure if you’re asking about the length, but I think that having one is is a good idea because if you blow it out at the end you save yourself a hose repair. I think 2’ is common. I have a 5’ and a 3’ just because I had them laying around.
Yeah, length is what I was asking about. Thanks!
I like about 5 feet. They tend to blow where Steve showed or halfway between gun and ground.
How tall are you? I’m 6’3", so would a longer whip line be better for someone my height? Or probably no difference?
That’s a really good idea. Never thought about doing this.
I’ve got short guys and tall guys. 5 foot or so seems to work. Its not exact. I just stretch out some hose, cut it with the band saw and swing by NAPA to have ends put on
So whats the whip lines for exactly? you attach them where and what do they do? I have yet to start doing this full time to know every little tip and trick? can anyone elaborate why and where these should be used
Steve commented above.
So the whip line goes on the end of your hose after the ball valve(assuming you have one) and before your gun?
What exactly causes this hose to break where it does so often? I just want to make sure i implement whatever i have to do to make sure this doesn’t happen to often. or ever ideally.
