I can assure you i am doing nothing funny with the hose been using wfp for 6 yrs this is simply rubbish hose, I have a 30ft slx which I reckon is 8 months old and a 22ft clx maybe 5/6 months old perhaps they have changed it now? thanks for the kind offer but no video required, i know how to loop up a hose  Also you chaps who are not having any problems, are you running hot systems? the hose was a lot more managable when the L5 decided to work buts thats a whole different moan, dont get me started! Baaaah Humbug! 

This pole hose Gardiners are selling at the moment just isn't supple enough.
I knew it was gonna be a problem as soon as it was delivered because it seems too rigid and also seems to have "memory" so wants to return to its coiled up state rather than laying flat.
Don't like it at all.

I totally agree about the pole hose. I bought a 27ft CLX a few months back, upgrading from a Streamline 21 footer. The hose in the CLX is absolutely dreadful compared to the Streamline hose. It really detracts from the superior pole and I sometimes find myself going back to the heavier Streamline pole just because the hose is so much better.
