Reel hose

[CHWS]

Time to renew reel hose on one of my reels. I prefer the 6mm. Any recommendations on what’s best at the minute? The last stuff I had on that reel was hi viz stuff from eBay. Probably been on about 4 years or so

Hi viz microbore hose from WCW is good hose

I bought 2 reels of 100m microbore from wintecs last November about £40 each (my invoice was £92 Inc VAT but got a couple of scrims and some squeegee rubber) seems pretty good quality stuff. Doesn't kink easily. I've had it before and it lasted about 4 years- no delamination either. Only thing is I can't seem to find it for anywhere near that price now..

The orange 6mm hose from x-line systems is good with cold and hot water
£64:99 (not the hi vis one)

I've tried a few over the years and in recent years they have all ended up being for longevity currently using Grippa hose and the outer layer has worn through in places, the best stuff I have ever used was from Gardiners years ago Daqua some on here said stocks the same hose as Gardiners used to, they don't do pretty colours ? though

I need pretty colours as I’ve 3 reels out the back. Just easier to separate if we tangle ?


Ended up just getting the eBay stuff again

If it's lasted 4 years previously I'd go with that, fingers crossed the quality is the same I've had Circuit Hydraulics stuff before but not been impressed.

Thought it would have suited you more with your kitten mittens hanging out you back pocket, "Pink to make the boys wink"
