Im wondering if theres any difference between the high temperature hose and normal !!! Im using the 8mm 100 m microbore but have had the fogwash for couple of months now. My hose cost me around £65 and the hose for hot water costs around £119. Ive noticed that my water pressure comming out of the brush has dropped Ivce changed the connectors tried without using the hose of which the water comes out much faster which I know will do as its not travelling thru 100 metres of hose !!! Im wondering that I may have had the water to hot at one point and could have melted slighly inside the hose... Was thinking of buying the hose for hot water but want you guys help to see if the hoses were different & there really is one for hot water as I do get that hot smell from the hose when reeling in cheers !!!!!!!!

Ive never used the  hot hose, but remember someone sending the hot hose back to the supplier, as it made no difference to heat retension, the only difference was a single layer of foil sandwiched inbetween the layers of hose.
Hope this helps.

I believe the main difference between hot and cold hose is how much pressure they can take when hot. Some hoses blow up like a bloon. I doubt a hose would mealt. Heat retention doesn't seem to be a main factor in building hot hoses either, just the stability of the hose.

I've use brodex heavy duty for the past 6 months and it's been ok, not perfect though. I've heard that gardiners are bringing out some purpose built hot hose soon.

On a side point, if you are suffering a drop in pressure then it might be that your temperature is too high and creating back pressure in the boiler. Or see if you are getting kinks in the hose as it turns supple.

i have wintecs own on 2 reels and use hot/cold  i have never had a problem,  the only thing you got to make sure is that all connectors are tight
