Bergman Roof Cleaning Report post Posted May 27, 2017 I hope it works well for you Chris!Unfortunately I just did a job this month and the home had te same one attacked already, so I tried to use it. Even though it looked new, it leaked at the hose to male connector-not the O-ring. It didn't look like you could do a hose fitting on the material-but maybe? Hopefully, that was just a bad one. It looks like the same material as the "Expandable Hose on TV" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A to Z Softwash Report post Posted May 27, 2017 We have been using the flexzilla hose, I bought it at Tractor Supply. It's working out great for us. 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeakOfPerfection Report post Posted May 27, 2017 We have likewise switched to Flexzilla and it is holding up beautifully. Starting to see fluorescent green in pictures from other contractors in the industry as well. And yes, it IS available in 3/4". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 That Ely hose, or whatever it is called didn't work out very well, our guys dont like it.Yes, The Flexilla looks good.We will see what the deal is on the expanding hose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning Report post Posted May 27, 2017 Ive been using Flexzilla for 3 years, same hose. Works awesome. Its lightweight and tough. Love it. 3 JetBlueRacer, Shingle Brite and Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning Report post Posted May 27, 2017 I tried the expanding hose route and they all failed quickly. One thing about the flex hoses is the connector ends (swivels) have a very small throat, like 3/8". Not very good flow. 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A to Z Softwash Report post Posted May 29, 2017 Flexzilla is nice, we even got our Water Fed Pole 3/8 hose in green so it matches. Who says Roof Cleaners can't have a little style? 2 JetBlueRacer and Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advantage Roof Cleaning Report post Posted July 7, 2017 You wouldn't be able to use the Flexzilla with a booster as it is rated only 150 psi.http://www.flexzilla.com/water/garden-hose/http://www.advantageroofcleaning.com/cedar-roof-and-siding-cleaning-in-elgin-kane-county-illinois/ 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning Report post Posted July 12, 2017 You can use Flexzilla hose with a water booster if you add a bypass to your water booster. So when you arent spraying, the water just runs in circles. The bypass eliminates too much pressure build up when the pump is running. Ive used a bypass for 3 years on the same Flexzilla hose. 2 Aqua Clean Solutions Inc and Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 Report post Posted July 19, 2017 How does the bypass work?There are 2 ways to bypassOne way is to divert the pumps output back into a tank when the gun is closed, or to bypass back into the pump itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning Report post Posted July 19, 2017 How does the bypass work?I bypass the pump. I placed a T on both sides of the pump and connected a hose on each side. Of course you have your inlet and outlet hose. Inlet must be noncollapsable. Here is a pic of mine. Crude setup but it works. 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
