Title: new 100 metre hose
Post by: Steve H on February 08, 2021, 06:54:05 pm

Hi Guys, taking advantage due to being off with the weather and ordering some replacement parts.
Need a new 100 metre hose 8mm (microbore) any suggestions as to where to get it from. Last one 5 years ago! was from pure freedom, so could try them again i suppose, just havent used them for a long time.
Just asking the question, as ive heard some of the cheaper hoses on the market dont last and can contaminate the pure water!!
Not sure how true that is but thought good question to ask on here.
Thanks in advance guys.

Give X Line a call.
Gave me a really good deal last time I ordered some 8mm.
I expect the guys will be along to give advise too.

All the same m8 there’s no special ingredient cut through any of em they are all the same,truth known they all come from the same place there’s only so many companies that make it every 100 meters worth I’ve bought lasts years.

I got a couple from window cleaning warehouse a couple of months ago m8 it’s much for much I’ve not seen one that performs any different from another after years of use especially with hot water the inside will eventually perish,100 meters should last a few years m8.

Yeah you notice minibore over microbore weight wise and when you are pulling it around,microbore goes on the reel easier too.

Got 8mm minibore (as its what im used to i suppose) decided on bright green,  went back to Pure freedom (who sponsor/advertise on this window cleaning forum). They were brilliant when i rang them up, more than happy to help and new what they were talking about, which cant always be said for some of the box shifting companies (as i call them).
 Decent price as well, so very happy  :)
