Title: Washing machine hose for fogwash?
Post by: Jays Window Cleaning on November 17, 2011, 04:20:40 pm
I have tried the red washing machine hose as hose lock conectors kept leaking . The trouble i had is connecting it to the hose reel . When the hose reel goes round the washing machine hose knots up . What do other fog wash user use from the hot out?

I use car radiator hose - very tough but a little fat for the hoselocks.

Brass elbow connector and brass hozelock fittings. Alex at Gardiners can get hold of a hoselock type fitting with a barbed connector so you can get fatter hose to fit quite easily provided the inside diameter is close.
