Cheapest you can get on ebay and replace it when it starts kinking.

Streamline Lite-5 from pure freedom has a ribbed feel to it and always replace the pole hose on my Gardiners poles from new.

It can tangle a little but seems to be the best and I tried a few before finding this

I dont want to be changing it every week Vince, I dont mind paying a little more to get less headaches, it will also help to keep my input to the swear jar down  :)

You shouldn't have to change it that often. They only start twisting up when they start to get old. I get about six months and then it goes like a coiled spring. At that point its binned immediately

Does it stop the flow when you nip the hose.

ive tried and tried to get on with the new gardiners pole hose(light orange colour!)but it just twists and kinks all the time so im going to either put the aqua daptor pole hose back on at weekend or some streamline lite 5 i have in my storage space.

The new gardiners stuff isn't great at stopping the flow when yu nip it, the aqua dapter stuff does, but it tangles easily.

mines the new stuff its light orange.to be fair alex sent me some for free when i ordered a carbon gooseneck and extreme brush.it twists and kinks a lot although it feels stronger and more supple than their previous pole hose.

Streamline lite -5  i wont use anything else after 3 1/2 years .

At the weekend i turned hose around so the worn part is now inside the pole mostly , new lease of life  ;D ;D.
