1st Choice Pressure Washing and Roof Cleaning Report post Posted July 30, 2016 I remember somewhere on the forum where someone was talking about a particular water hose being the best to have. I'm not sure the reasons why and can't seem to even find the discussion. Could someone fill me in on which and why. Is it because it doesn't kink as bad ect... Thanks, Harold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 Report post Posted July 31, 2016 We use 2 different size Fireman Nozzles, a big and a smaller one. The big fireman nozzles are useless as balls on a Priest on homes with low` water pressure We buy them locally here at Big Lots in Tampa, but you can sometimes find the smaller ones on Ebay.

ZapItWash Report post Posted July 31, 2016 You guys don't have trouble with mean green kinking? The kinking drove me nuts. I'm in love with the Flexzilla garden hose so soft and flexible. 1 ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately it unkinks easily.Yes, it does kink a little, but because it is so lightweight, it unkinks fast. I swear, with the 3/4 inch mean green, and a house with great water pressure, you could almost pressure wash. Back when we went from the 5/8 mean green to the 3/4, a lot of plant damage stopped! 1 JetBlueRacer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roof Cleaning Virginia Report post Posted August 1, 2016 We buy the heavy duty stuff, and this company finally got it right with the 'contractor' grade. (Prior hoses made by these folks kinked, badly. This one does not.) Heavy as hell, and stiff. GOOD STUFF. To us, weight is moot because we make one run to a buffer tank and we're done with it until the job is complete. Untangling hoses takes time and time is money :-) Great 3/4' hose, purchased locally 1 JetBlueRacer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troy Howell Report post Posted August 1, 2016 Factory Direct has been out of stock of the mean green for months now.... It's frustrating... They said they're waiting on the supplier and have no clue what the hold up is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They said they're waiting on the supplier and have no clue what the hold up is.There IS an alternative. Elay, the same people who make the killer portable reels, has Polyurethane Garden hose. They only go to 170 ft because that is the maximum size you can get to fit on one of their reels. We are a dealer for them but can only sell to you direct if you are local...otherwise you can get it off their website.

Shingle Brite Report post Posted August 2, 2016 The company is actually "Eley"and I don't know about the hose BUT the shutoffs and quick connects are excellent! They are big, heavy and very well made. No leaks-none. Guaranteed for 10 years. My guess is the hose is a great hose. 1 Troy Howell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Factory direct couldn't give me any info on when they'll have it, so hopefully this "Eley" turns out great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
