for about 2 yrs I have been using the same solution line which I believe is the best solution line available, it is rated to 210bar ( 3000psi) @ 150c but it is very flexible and light, unfortunately the name on the side has worn off so i couldnt remember its name..... but this morning I found 150ft of it in my shed brand new

as there has been a few questions about solution hose over the last few months i though I would post its name.

try the attached

that's the one

interesting fact on that page.... although it has a working pressure of 3000psi it shows the burst pressure at 12000psi which is standard practice for most hoses, they test it at 4 times its rated usage

[derek west]

can you get a solution hose reel thats! how can i word this! all wired up so you can reel off whatever length you need and your good to go, similar to your garden hose reel that constantly fed? have i explained it right?

i had one on my bowser pressure washer so i'm guessing you can. any clues on where to look?

Dual Pumps do two or three models, not the best I've seen better with bigger capacity cant think where just now, will post as soon as i remember. Lots of places do them.

www.dualpumps.co.uk check the Hose Reels & Holders catalouge page 3 2nd and third row from bottom "of page 3"

Looks like good hose cant be worse than the s*** H Master sent will give Alfa a call monday.

I bought some from Woodbridge it was worse because it was cheap.

Mark if your HM hose is the same as i had then the hose I'm suggesting is more flexible, lighter and a thinner profile it is also rated to 3000psi and 150c what is yours rated to?

although this post is not about this solution line being better than any other  particular hose, only that of all the hose I've tried... in my opinion this is the best
