Kuri-Tec Hose?

BlueRidge · Approved Exterior Cleaner

This is the hose we have used for about 5 years now. I'm not sure if it's the same you are using. We get two years out of it, removing it and re installing on the hose reel with the used end on the Proportioner. After two years we throw it away. It has always been flexible.

I am interested in theFlex-Tech hose you are considering.

Hey Brett,..not sure,.. the number of the hose I use is k1154 (Red) Unless the hose you posted is numbered by the vendor ,(#03-1623)..it doesn't look the same. Mine doesn't look and feel like rubber,..has a definite sheen on the cover when new? The K1154 has always been good,..yes,..two seasons with a swap of ends,..my reason was due to Sun damage and turning it pink. But,..just didn't seem as good as the last few runs I had.

I've done a little searching on the Flex Tech,..looks good,..likely gonna be what I use. Sucks though,..the Kuri-Tec is only 1 year old. Of course these days I replace the HP hose every year,..on hose that I use to get at least 4 years out of. Granted,..I do use a higher percentage DS solution these days,..and maybe that's it,....even if it is,...it's well worth it.
