Just went through my Neptune 1 wire hoses. It was more expensive than the cheaper blue hose I was buying from Pressuretek and didn’t last a 3 months. Total crap and almost double the price. Hose Company only sells through a distributor and it’s now called Fierce Jet hose. Panhandlepowerwashsupply.com has it. I’m going to try that next. I know 2 wire lasts longer but my guys complain about the 2 wire. Also dealing with new quick connects that don’t connect. Super frustrating.
I’ve lost at least 5 two hundred ft sections since the first of the year from various vendors
The kevlar hose was the least reliable and most expensive

Huh, kevlar didn’t work. Good to know. Anyone try the Flexzilla yet?
It lasted 4 days before it got a hole in it.
You’re a creative guy. You should make something with all of those. @ person hammock, boat lift, heavy duty cargo net, who knows the possibilities.

Man, I got so many projects going on all the time and now you throw this challenge. Yesterday was replacing the chain at the cabin with a gate. My 16 year old did the welding on his own

He’s getting a little big for that red car, lol. Surely you’ve gotten him a truck already. Just don’t misguide him in life and buy him a Ford. Buy him a nice 5.3 Chevy with a blown engine and tell him when he gets it rebuilt he can start driving it. Incentive.

Car is for my nephew. I’m ashamed to say me baby boy is a Chevy guy, with the exception of Joe Gibbs Racing. His dream car is an old Impala. Her gets his license in about two more weeks. This is his.

@Racer @Innocentbystander you could make a tree swing out of your old hose…. It’s my kids favorite thing to do now.

Be sure to tell that talented young man his photos have reached the pacific and we love it! 
Lol, what the pics don’t show is him saying, “dad, I keep burning holes, you gotta fix another one” He’s a keeper for sure.

@Innocentbystander I mean once he gets a little bigger, I’ll have to use some 2 wire…. Single works great right now. No signs of wearing out yet

If anyone is still using JGB Hose, they were acquired a few years back by another company, Echelon Supply and Service, and that is now the name that they go by.
My last order of 1 wire lasted about a year from them.
The BCE 2 wire is still going strong. It turns 2 years old next month.
I’ve found that running 100 ft of 2 wire and then running 100 ft of 1 wire is working well for me. The 2 wire rarely comes off the reel so I’m not lugging around the heavy stuff but I get the benefit of it lasting longer.

Still haven’t tried 1 wire yet, I’ve found 2 wire is easy enough to use
Might get some next time I need new hose to try out
