I’ve always been a 22 ft extreme user but thault ide try the 18 as it’s a section liter if I find it to short and becoming a pain switching to 25 I’ll add the to big sections of my 22 and ditch the 18 base section but I think 18 is working out just fine
Those cheap brass hoselock knock offs are dreadful. Not enough of a shoulder on them which reduces the amount of hose stick in and they don't grip the hose well enough
Brush be wrecked in a couple week. Get a bumper on it to save damage funny how pf
I’ve got too and one brand new and other very old had lite use to be fair it did go out of shape a few weeks ago so chucked it in boiling water and the brushe was back to normal again these ones are very hard wearing compared to the new stiff Bristles on the standard extreme @dazmond have you tryed this brush yet if not I think you will like it
There is no way that plastic hose lock fitting will last with hot water either within a couple of weeks it will be broken, they go hard and brittle .
Agree totally, the cheap thermoplastic retaining paws within the connector will warp or crack quickly with water over 50 degrees
When I bought mine there was an extra cost to upgrade to be able to use hot water
Yes, many fittings have a pressure & temperature operating range for a reason as you're aware of. Using the cheapest option will always lead to failures & down time
I found they lasted around 2 weeksHad it on month I think with new heater and it was on with gas set up before on my other manual reel never had issues with them before
the plastic lugs distorted and the fitting would not stay on the male end
