Currently using WCW high viz hose. It's decent but doesn't last very long. Can anyone recommend a good hot water hose?

We just use normal microbore from @doug atkinson , have tried all the hot hoses and normal is just as good as them for lasting and half the weightCurrently using WCW high viz hose. It's decent but doesn't last very long. Can anyone recommend a good hot water hose?
That's pole hose in the link and exceed don't sell main hose to fitted to the reelI run with yellow and red hose from Exceed at £100 a roll. Strong and light and have 100m's on each reel.

That's what I have on both reels, never had any problem with it.That's pole hose in the link and exceed don't sell main hose to fitted to the reel
This really doesn't surprise meThat's what I have on both reels, never had any problem with it.
I use the standard yellow 6mm one from Daqua.Hang on…. So people are using pole hose in 100m lengths as a reel hose… I don’t even know what to say to that. Certainly unexpected.
I am going to give one from Daqua a go. I need some resin anyways.

I spoke to Exceed a few years ago about using their pole hose as reel hose. They felt confident in it, though I don’t use hot. Has anyone got extensive use of pole hose? Would certainly make the hoseless setup a lot easier.Hang on…. So people are using pole hose in 100m lengths as a reel hose… I don’t even know what to say to that. Certainly unexpected.

Been using it for years, red one from Exceed. Never had any problem bar that time I had a fight with a rose bush. Ended up with a pin hole in the hose and should have tried a bit of superglue in it but I went with straight joint. In the end I replaced the whole hose because it was years old and fitted 100m yellow hose on other reel. Light and easy to work with, don't know why everyone not working with it. ?I spoke to Exceed a few years ago about using their pole hose as reel hose.

Ohh really? So it’s no good for the pumps then? Excuse my ignorance, but why is that? Surely it has less water to push?If I told the pump manufacturers some window cleaners were using 5mm hose x 100 m they would’ve having kittens ?.
Shurflo wouldn’t warrant their pumps if used with 6mm hose going sometime back. But with the new spring controllers it sets the required pressure but 5 mm will put a lot of strain on the pump.Ohh really? So it’s no good for the pumps then? Excuse my ignorance, but why is that?

My pump went with the big thermal hose after a year. I think they are like gas boiler pumps, can last for years or break after a year. The best way to prevent pumps breaking is to run them every day, the reason mine went was because I was only using one hose reel on a two man system. Now I run both every day I'm cleaning. ?Shurflo wouldn’t warrant their pumps if used with 6mm hose going sometime back.
