ive had the same red hose from purefreedom ,it was very rigid and also split ,that hose is 100% plastic shixt i really do know why you cant get a hose which has more rubber in in it to avoid all the issues.
if you can get a decent hose that isnt rigid that doesnt split please tell me where i can get it from please,i use cold water
thanks guys

This is reel hose. Minibore. I'm tempted to try ionics hose.

Just buy pure freedom yellow minibore, 8mm. You won’t be disappointed, unless it’s changed over the years. Mine is (kid you not) over 10 years old and still going strong.
