What's the best pole hose?
« on: May 14, 2011, 09:44:22 am »
Bought some of the yellow 7.9 OD hose from G's and found it to be pretty poor. Tangling, twisting etc also having to put reducer stems on the inline flow valve to fit but keep blowing off, even blowing off the brush 'Y' piece.   >:(

The black hose supplied with the SLX's was fine no prob's. So looking for a decent 8mm OD x 5-6mm ID hose for the pole.

What do you use and where from?

Thanks

Too long...... i've gone bald in the last 3 months.

Seen the PU hose on Aqua-adator even got Joe with his thumbs up  :) but a bit steep in price me thinks.

I have got tecbuk hose its ok but had a problem with it splitting, I  have a 100psi pump and i have the flow on full so maybe this caused it.

you get what you pay for guys.

i recommend the Aqua daptor pole hose - red is the best - well behaved with very little to no
twisting
