vacuum hose

[Louis]

So My vacuum hose is dying. Duct tape all over it. The hose I have is very flexible and I like it. Came with the truck. It's 11 years old. I bought 50 ft of prochem hose one time and returned it as soon as I got it out of the box. No flex at all.
So what do I look for and what or who do I avoid.

Thank You

Get Joe's hose. It is nice stuff can get it in cool colors to match your company and it nice a flexible.

Are Joe's color choices different than any other suppliers color choices ?

Amflex makes the hose JB and others claim as their own.

Thank you Lee, do they sell directly to cleaners?

I might get orange this time so people will see it.

Joe is the only one that can get coloured hoses I believe.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Yeah right...

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

Yeah right...

Pot stir by Lee..lol

 

[dealtimeman]

Yeah right...

I know distributors that can't get it unless you buy the whole run of greater than 500 feet.

The vac hose that came with our new Prochem in 2012 was weak and started to crack between the flex grooves with in a month and my distributor replaced them. The bad hose was dark blue and the new ones are lighter and much stronger.

You guys realize clients don't really care or are impressed by colored hose.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Unless it's PINK rico...

Everywhere I go my hose is admired!

 

[Desk Jockey]

For future reference Michael, "admired" and "laughed at" are not the same thing.

 

[dealtimeman]

It is not a laughing matter senior Chavez, they love the colors!!!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Sorry I thought we were talking about your personal I didn't mean your TM.

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

I don't give a fly F*** what color they are but my Hydramaster CDS has orange

 

[ruff]

Orange hoses used to be the norm.
Pink's for real men.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Blue is what's in, just ask Saiger.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I like dark grey, looks cleaner longer.

Thought about the green to match the vans, but it would show scuffs like crazy.

 

[hogjowl]

I like whatever is free, or on sale.

I have some free for you that cracked with in a month of use just pay shipping....lol

We're referring to hoses, not to Mark's winter mood.
Right?

I'd be embarrassed to have duct tape on my hose. Recently I got some more hose and it came from my supplier by way of ss. It's to soft and colaspeses from the heat and pressure. Am flex with the light blue liner is better. Could care less about color but I like it all the match.

Richard, what did you do with all that hose soaked in cooking oil or whatever. Did you chuck it?
