if you are talking about pole pipe, get some very hot water, put the pipe in so it goes flexable, take out pipe wrap it up like normal then put in cold water, do this every month and it helps with this problem  ;) try it it works  ;D

if you're using a backpack and your pole is 6 metres, then buy enough hose say 21 metres and use that. You can then leave your backpack sitting there and only move it once or twice per job.
I use a trolley and the diddly bit of hose that comes with poles as standard meant i could only stand 3 feet away from the trolley at all times.
If all that dangly hose is a nuisance you could buy one of these pole tidys from pure freedom. This stops kinking as well as keeping everything tidy.

Buy some silicon airline hose from aquatics online.

I use this with my backpack on a sack cart,very good.
