Well today i tried out the new Gardiner hose.

Today has easily been the coldest day here since jan/feb. Today the pole hose was fantastic to use, it was very easy to use and wrap up.

The hose is only one day old lol BUT it does look very promising.

Tomorrow morning will be the real test, as i am leaving the hose in the van all night.

I haven't had time to weigh it, but it does feel lighter than the previous yellow Gardiner hose?

Wonder if Sir Alex would like to comment on that...........

FYI Cold system, water was about 5-8c

Getting in in tomorrow, I dislike the current yellow and red stuff, both hot and cold it's pretty horrible, the red much worse then the yellow. Went back to clear tubing, this new hose should be interesting.

Second day and I willing to stick me neck out and say this WILL be a decent hose.

Came to look at hose this morning, very flexible.

Old gardiner hose was like wire cord!

Why would you want to weigh it H20 bit strange m8 !!!

It's listed as lightweight on Gardiner site. I "think" the old pole hose wasn't classed as lightweight.....

OK stupid question time - I already have 100m of 6mm microbore (a lot heavier than I thought it was going to be, no wonder you guys say keep the hose and reel in the van!), which I thought was 'reel' hose, why would I need 30m or 100m of all season 'pole' hose?

It's for going up the pole. You would only want longer lengths of it if you had more than one pole or if you stocked spares.

OK thanks.  So presumably it's needed for when the pole hose needs replacing, in which case how often is that?  Do you just cut what you need out of the 30m

Just if it splits - every few months I suppose. Yes you just cut the length of the fully extended pole + a wee bit (depending on personal preference).

[Chris - CBWC]

Thanks very much.  In which case I'll order a new pole and this hose at the same time and see if they'll let me take advantage of the special offer!

[dannymack]

O right, I just buy any pole hose I bought the bright green one a few weeks ago, as got to be 8mm as I like a fast flow of water. Tried
The 6mm found it to slow. Mind you pain getting it through the pole as I have to drill the hole bigger in the end cone so I can get it through 👳👳👳

What brush jets do you use Dannymack?

[Chris - CBWC]

It sounds like I may have bought a mixture of sizes, should be fun...

Ill be testing it tomorrow for the first time

Awesome hose.

Haven't changed my gooseneck hoses and old hose vs new hose is very obvious in cold weather.

Loving this new hose. Just need to test it's durability now.

Is this hose any good for pinching the flow off,does it cut the flow completly?

gooseneck hose.??

[Clever Forum Name]

Hose that goes down the gooseneck....

When warm 8c -10c it could be kinked but it's
Deffo not designed to be kinked.

[mikeyfaerosyth]

Better stick to horrible pu hose then. 

[Clever Forum Name]

Yeah PU hose is best for pinching due to the construction.
