To get the best from this new hose right from the start it is best to let it 'relax' from its tight factory coils first. If possible coil it in very large loose coils and leave overnight before using. Even better leave it run out in a straight line over night.

Looking forward to your videos  :)

This new 'All-Season' pole hose is brand new so it will not be the same as the soft type you are currently using. I am using this new hose with push-fittings and all is working well (cold water) with no leaks.

To cure the issue on your current hose you can fit these stem-to-barb adapters wherever the hose connects to a push-fitting and it will completely cure any tendency to pop out: http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/John-Guest-8mm-stem-to-6mm-Barb-PM250806E.html

Those JG stem to barb adaptors are excellent.  :)

Alex, are you going to sell lengths longer than 30m, after the trial? I currently use Aqua-dapters red pole hose as my main hose on my reel; 50m. Don't really want a join in the hose.
