your opinions please if this hose would be suitable with a porty.

Dan, can you buy some then let us know? Then we can buy some.

 

looks alright but looks like it has the big ribbs like 'world of clean' hose does.

i e mailed the company asking them and they said it's for swimming pool cleaner but they reckoned as long as it fits my machine it would be fine . there's a swimming pool shop nearby me so im popping over this afternoon to see what they've got

I started using swimming pool and pond hose a few years back, does not look as robust as the genuine carpet cleaning hose but they have lasted longer! Carpet cleaning hose as with most carpet cleaning parts are a complete ripoff, i still can not believe how much some wands go for, i would luv to know what margin they make on them.

£30. I'd buy some anyways. Dirt cheap

I have uded pool vac hose on hard floor machines they are great and more flexable the expensive parts are the pressure hose so if any one knows of a good supplier I would appreciate you letting me know

you reckon this would be suitable if you got the appropriate fittings put on

Don't, the black will come off on your pre-sprayed carpet. On most of them will, there might be odd exception.
Just had an issue myself on a flood job. We had to park quite away from the building as the carpark was washed out. I have a 100' foot of that black hose on a reel which we use for pressure washing. Unfortunately the lads also used the same hose for cleaning the carpets instead of adding the blue hose to the end. Resulting in black lines everywhere which were a nightmare to remove. Thought they would just extract out with the carpet being damp but would they hell. Had to use solvent to shift them in the end.
