Thanks Colin
Im just waiting for Gardiners to get the 6mm Thermohose back in stock and I will buy it. Thanks for the tip mate.

friends has brought some of that hose, and he hates it, it wont coil up nice or anything, just keep springing about, its like a thick nylon hose,

I use the normal pole hose that came with my pole, works fine.

The 6mm ID Thermobore is not pole hose.

Your friend may have bought our 5/8mm PU hot water pole hose which some hot water users find is better at resisting hot temperatures.

Yes it was the pole hose sorry, it is good at resisting hot water, but that's about it, he finds it just want to un coil all the time, won't stay in a nice neat coil like all other pole hoses do.

I agree - I also do not like PU pole hose. Has too much memory effect for my liking. With hot water it does become more pliable. We kept getting asked for PU pole hose so we have started selling it - it's very popular as well, so some users must like it 

Yer it acts like a spring, you think its all nice and neat untill you let go of it! Then its a mess again,

Maybe its just a mind thing with some people, they think its better.

you mean the PU hot water pole hose is not good?

When you say 'good' do you mean as in, is it a good quality hose?

If so PU pole hose is very good quality hose.

Or do you mean 'good' as in is it well suited to its task?

The answer to this would be subjective based upon your exact system set-up, temperature of water used and personal preference - it would be difficult to answer this as the answer would vary for each user.

I do not think that it is a 'mind thing' people usually know if something is working for them or not.

I think that it is more to do with their actual set-up, their water temperature and their own personal preference.

Might be, like I said I just got the standard pole hose that came with my phoenix and that has had temps of upto 60-70 through it with no problem. Like wise with some of your standard yellow pole hose that's had same temps through it without any problems.

As you have found, a lot of people use standard pole hose with warm/hot water with no issues as long as all of the connections are firmly secured.

That's true, if not firmly secred they pop off all the time when hot!
