[Shaun1977]

Over past week Iv had 3 diff holes size of pin ***** pop up on my hose Iv only had it 6 month surely the hose should last longer thn this

 

[rcproperty]

what do you do to them????? i have had both mine of a year and had busses and lorrys driving over mine with no problem!!

 

[Shaun1977]

Iv had my 8mm for coming up 2 year now n never had any problem with it I really can't understand it

 

[rcproperty]

where did you get hte 6mm from?? maybe it could of been a poorly made one?

 

[Shaun1977]

Got it from gardiners m8

 

[rcproperty]

strange then! got mine from a air compressor site, but they only did 30m lengths so had to join 2 together!

 

[Shaun1977]

It's put me off the 6mm hose a bit I think I might get another 8mm

am sure gardiners had a problem with there hose a few months ago, contact them, i got mine from wintecs, there own make, had for 3 years no probs

 

[Shaun1977]

I think it will be out of warranty now

Hi Shawn

The hose should last longer than this. Please contact the Office and we can arrange a warranty replacement.

i dont tend to buy hoses, connectors or anything thats underpresure from window cleaning companys. I get 90% from an air compressor site, that way i know they are well designed to take lots of pressure! call it over-kill, but i know nothing is going to leak in my van or equipment!

Now was it YOU rcproperty who had a leaky pump on his van ?

I had this exact same problem last year. I found that after the pin holes you then get swelling and bubbles in random places in the hose. All you can do is cut the hose where the bubbles start and keep whats left - or it spreads like a disease all over the hose. Just incase you plan on keeping it. Mine was not gardiner.
