Do you use a flow controller ?

Does the hose get traffic over it? Is it the standard hose or thermabore? Would the thermabore be a better idea?

I currently use pure freedom hose to my pole hose and it's been fine for the last year. I have had hot since November and with regular traffic over the hose, still no issues. Biggest problem I've had is with the pf hose reel braking up

In sure Alex will get you sorted

I also use the purefreedom 100m and I've had mine for 15mths with high volumes of traffic, excellent quality.

I've got 2 100m rolls which are 18 months old which came from the cleaning warehouse, they have lasted well, I've just turned them on the reel so hopefully I will get another 18 months out of them

I had to change a length of Gardiners microbore recently it was 3 months old we unfortunatley sliced it lengthways (about 30ft of it)  it must have got cut on a corner of a building by a small flint or something similar but just as dissapointing and as i said only 3 months old ... bit gutted, the lad that did it was really sorry too but not really his fault just one of those things

On the other hand- I've had Gardiners minibore for about 9 months now, it's been driven over by everything, used with hot & cold water & it's just fine!

[Steve Sed]

I use the Pure Freedom 8mm. No problems except heavy to lift in and out of the van.

[rscleaningservices]

Ive had 8mm microbore for ages been brill but just purchased the 6mm thermobore off Alex a few days ago but still not used it sitting in garage at mo must get around to put in on the reel !!!!!!

[Alistair@AWC]

The hose on one of my reels bought from Gardiners and used daily must be 5 years old!

[BVC]

Its a dodgy batch.

Had same problem last year with another co. kicked up a right stink about replacing it.  Bubbled in about 20 spots from day 1. Stuffed up a good days work as I gave my old hose to a mate that day. Apparently this had never been heard of before and I had to email pics or buy another Yeah? well bonjour to you to mate. Im going to Gardiners for my gear now.

Defo the hose mate. Try not to stress.

[colin purewater]

I've got window cleaning ware house one as well (8mm)
Had no problems daz

[dazmond]

i use a flow controller and a cold system.i dont want to use 8mm minibore as im used to using microbore.

i will have to order some tonight.ill be sending alex a photo of offending hose tomorrow.

its frustrating thats for sure.it gets driven over on a daily basis.its unavoidable really.

[sparkleglass]

window cleaning ware house for me mate 

[concept]

One of my reels has 8mm from Gardiners which is 3 years old and has been well abused. Never had a problem with it, use hot through it too.

[jarvy]

Had 8mm from pure freedom for 2 1/2 years now,trailing across the road most days, being run over by everything,never had any probs!

6mm microbore - Wintecs own brand, nearly two years old, occasionally driven over, mainly cold water - occasionally hot via immersion - no problems
