Post by: mark blundell on December 02, 2011, 06:43:12 pm
Hi guys what's the best pole hose to replace the rubbish that is on my clx 27

Aquadaptor do the best hose (IMO)
a lot stiffer than gardiners but very well behaved !

The pole hose from Purefreedom is good stuff and really flexible. It does have Streamline written on it.
If you want to cut the middle man out, you could order direct from Streamline.

Wear shorts and if it happens again you can towel dry your leg off

Which Gardiners hose do you think you had? The soft or the stiff?

I've changed to Aquadapters hose and so far I'm really unimpressed.

Don't rate the Aquadaptor hose at all!
Tangles up just like the Gardiners hose I was using previously and is 3 times the price.
Verdict: Crap!
The search continues....

Hi Andy,

It does take quite a few days to bed in and work as intended.  Do you use hot, or can you run hot through it and straighten it out?  This helps take out the "memory".

Hi wizkid,

That's similar to ours, but we are working on the specification of ours for use with WFP, and ours is a little cheaper delivered :)

That hose is rated at 8 bar (116PSI) ours is 230PSI (16 bar) with water at 20°C, 140PSI (just under 10 bar) with water at 60°C.

We've also gone for bright colours so that the hose is easy to spot.

Hi mark if you use that hose with the 27 ft it is far to stretchy with the 18 its ok
