best 50mm gutter vac hose?
« on: December 30, 2013, 03:58:09 pm »
hi

i'm looking for some new 50mm gutter vac hose. i use some currently that's very robust but quite stiff so i would like something a more flexible, with a smooth (not ridged) internal bore. has anyone got any suggestions?

thanks in advance

It would be really stiff with a smooth bore as its the ridges that allow it to flex. look at 50mm truck mount carpet cleaners hose and cuffs from Woodbridge or similar. Omni hose has lasted me really well - I wish I could say the vac was as good  :'(

Yeah the hose I've got now is smooth bore, very strong and hard wearing, but very stiff I never realised that was why.

I just figured the ridges would collect the mud and make it harder to clean. I also thought the ridges would reduce suction a bit. I had s look st the omni hose which looks good I'll have a look at the other one you suggested.

I bought mine from Polarbrite. Bit heavy, but does the job.
