Hi, Where is the best place to buy vacuum hose from?

There is a guy selling lots of carpet cleaning spares on ebay, has anybody tried his hoses?

Although I haven't dealt with 'Accessory Planet' - I do know of some respected carpet cleaners that have & were content

[happy mondays]

I wouldnt use them again. I bought a wand from them about 4 - 5 months ago, one of the filters was faulty, tried usual stuff by soaking in de-scaler etc, explained the problem and requested a replacement filter, but was asked to package and return the whole wand?

[Steve. Taylor]

Paul i bought the same wand as you i think with the free glide funny you mention the problem the 1 on the right side as you spray is not so good as the left one must take it a part for a look bought as a spare so not got round to it yet

Lewis As for the 50ft hose thats fine so is the solution hose i got.

Yea, same thing then it stopped working altogether, only used it 4 times, dealt with a guy called scott, shocking customer service, why he couldnt just send out a new filter I dont know? took ages to get replys from him. Think he's just some fly by night selling a few bits and bob's on Ebay. IMO avoid at all costs!

[Paul Simpson]

Not got hoses from them but bought a hand tool and various connectors, etc from them with no problems.

Yea, good service, goods came within two days as promised... its the after sales I have a big problem with!

[Griffus]

Same as all suppliers, good and bad stories.

I bought a glide from them, waited a while, nothing received, chased them up, they claimed to have sent, still nothing received after three weeks or so, chased some more, they dispatched another, eventually received a glide. Not sure on the quality either as it started shredding on first use (catching on gripper rods). Took it off and haven't used since.

Had a hose connector from them, arrived really quickly, very good value and quality.

I have bought more then a few products from Scott now and have had no problem.
This includes a glide which i have used every job since I have fitted it. Yes its worn at the edges where it catches carpet grippers, but so is my original one that cost me much more (but still useable(. You have to be careful with the glide like you do with any tool.
I have bought 50' of solution hose but not had chance to use yet.
I have QD male and female which I have fitted to replace worn units on my gear - working very well.
I have bought new jets for my wand - ok as well.
and a tool I like - an inline filter which normally cost about £160 for a real bargain price of half that.

Very quick delivery, well packed, VAT and postage is normally included in his prices, making a good buy.
Not really had chance to test after sales service because its not been required. Good enough for me.

It would be nice to know peoples names - it happens that when you meet someone you usually say "hello my name is *****"

So hello c.c.s or is it J&A as per website.

Anyway, what carpet cleaning machine do you use that swim pool hose from.??

[murky]

I have tried to find him on Google using accessory planet 2010 and nothing turns up at all.

Any ideas anyone?

solution line splitter seals went within a couple of months, still usable if you leave a line plugged in but leaks if not.
as the old maxim goes, buy cheap, buy twice. aint that right shaunus?

Speaking of Shaun'us', Derek - see he has changed his epitaph to 'Honest as the day is long'.      Trouble is - the days are getting dramatically shorter this time of year.  Should I be reading something into that

hi my name is john and i'm using a prochem stempro  2000

[Joe H]

Hi John

Just checked out the spec of the Steempro 2000 and it reads its got a single vac motor 3-stage.

Thats probably why the pool hoose is ok with your machine. Put it on a triple vac motor, or maybe even a twin vac, and I reckon the hose would collapse due to suction.
A good link tho for those with a single vac machine.

[vacsimize]

Why not try the website Vacsimize they stock a range of vacuum spares and vacuum hose in 32,35,38 and 50mm diametres.
