I've had this solution line for 5 years and it finally went. I've got lot ls more solution line on my real, but I'm going to replace it all. My lead is going to be 150' because not very often do I go over that. What's the best solution line out there that can handle high heat, doesn't bleed, and doesn't create memory? Is there such a thing?

We use Good Year Neptune. As soon as I get it from my hose supplier, I use double wall heat shrink (3:1 shrink ratio), and apply 3 layers on the wand end.
1: 8” piece, shrink over hose and crimp.
2: 12” piece over crimp, 8” piece, and hose.
3: 18” piece over crimp, 12” piece, 8” piece and hose.
Feed end from TM, 8” piece over crimp and hose.
2: 12” piece over 8” piece, and hose.
Using this system, my hose NEVER fails close to crimp….
HOWEVER, we do crazy amounts of hours, and the hose wears out prematurely…
I get 4 months out of a hose.
I buy 265’ 3 Times a year..
