Pure Freedom Minibore (8mm) hose
« on: January 20, 2011, 06:02:43 pm »
Being using this recently and find it tends to bunch up more and sometimes does not lay completely flat (a loop sticks up off ground).

Previously used a 10mm hose, which I think was from Cleaningspot, which did seem to behave itself a bit more.

Wondering if other suppliers do a slightly better minibore or is all hose just inherently EVIL.

I think it perhaps due to the cold weather, my 8mm hose was doing the same when my gas run out for heater, and my 3/4 inch transfer hose is horrendous now its cold.

I have purefreedom yellow hose on a couple of 100 reels, and works ok,
I have some nice orange hose I got off off a company at the show last year thats also good. cant for the life of me remember the name of them. "X line" thats them

if you hose is new it will need to be broken in as will be a little stiff right now, more so the cold weather making it stiffer, you can hear a cracking noise if you listen careful.

Bear with it and the job will be a good'un  ;)

dazmond, I use this too as pole hose, are you meaning you use this on the reel as well as opposed to mini or microbore ?
