I need some large hose bags anyone know the best place to get them but not Ashbys

[paul@ctcs]

Are they for the Eclipse Steve? I too could do with some as the eclipse hoses are quite a bit longer than standard prochem hoses.

[stevegunn]

Yes they are for my eclipse hoses

Steve,

It is a shame that you have fallen out with Ashbys, as their large hose bag holds 75' of vac + 75' of solution hose.

It is the most durable bag I have owned and the price is right.

[strakercleaning]

Steve, JB is right about the Ashbys hose bag, for value, size and durability.
Even they can't muck that up 

[stevegunn]

So I'm going to have to eat humble pie and get them from Ashbys : after I said I would never use them again.

[mark_roberts]

Extracta sell a good one but only holds about 35ft.

John

Ive got a Ashbys bag (the large one) and would not get 75ft in it.  Will get 50ft and two hands tools and will just about zip it shut.  Have they got a extra large bag that I dont know about?

I do quite a lot of match fishing, try going to your local fishing tackle dealer and having a look at their net bags or carry alls they are more than ample for hoses and a lot stronger also they dont leak and you can also get a lot of other items in the bags other than just hases

Dave,

AFAIK They only do two sizes - you must have the smaller one.

The large Ashby’s bags will hold the 50ft 2” vac & solution hose from my TM, have had them for over 3 years not a rip in sight

Also today I pop into Ashby’s and brought two of the smaller hose bags for my Ninja hoses and they fit.

There is a knack in winding them up to fit.

Never heard of useing hose bag, is this something new?
Why not wind it up and use a hose strap,,,,

John

[Len Gribble]

John

Definitely not a wind up

John,

If you carry 200+ ft. of hose, it gets into a mess with just straps and takes up a lot more space when not controlled by a bag/bags.

[johnnyone]

I just got some hose straps for my hoses, only going to use it on a 2 in/ 50 ft section of hose  to carry in to the house and pull the rest off the reel. seems like it might be a little less dragging around the cornors and a little faster.

Are you talking about port hoses 1,5 in/ 50 ft sections of hose it, seems like it would work good for that. it would be lighter and easer. than  winding it up and getting into the bag.

The hose straps have handle on them so you could carry them or hang them in the truck. They are made out of nylon and velcro and are a lot cheaper... 3 straps for twenty

[Dynafoam]

John,

I refer to 1.5" hose in 25' sections.

Space in my van is at a premium, and the floor-space is being constantly re-arraged to accomodate different equipment to suit the requirements of the work being undertaken. A hose reel is out of the question since it would need to be bolted down in a fixed location.

The sides and bulkhead are taken up with shelving etc., so there is no spare hanging space. Even the four wands are located near the roof.



By having the hoses controlled within a bag, they take up far less space than in separate bundles, and can even be placed in the passenger footwell if required to free up additional loadspace.

 Thanks for posting the pic, I am impressed,  :)you have everthing organized very well.
Great idea on the reflective insulation, did you do that or did it come that way?
