Pressure washer hose

[the_real_wild1]

I bought a 4000 psi 4.2gpm pressure washer 2 year ago from Princess Auto. The first time I used it the hose burst. I took the hose back and they replaced it with the same one. I go to use it a week ago and it had 4 breaks in it. F'n junk. So I need to replace the hose. The have different stuff there and also some at kms for 50-90 bucks depending on length. Has anyone used this stuff with success? I need something decent but don't want to spend 200 bucks on fricken hose. Remember I need something that will hold up to a lot of pressure. This aint your $100 1800 psi 1.5 gpm pressure washer.

Check green line. They sell pressure washer hose. Not sure of the price

I bought one of their 80 or 90 buck hoses a few years ago, no complaints so far.
Pressure relief valve isn't stuck on your washer is it?

No I don't think so. It is almost like the line froze and burst over winter, but it has been in my heated garage and should not have froze. Temps usually stay at 15c or warmer.

Where have you been buying it from? Cost?

X2 with green line...... They have decent prices too

 

[gotboost]

I buy it at a place like bumper to bumper and it under $3.00 a foot

 

[the_real_wild1]

Just looked at the goodyear stuff. Only rated for 3000 psi. I looked at green line and they have ready made hose with a 4000 psi rating and is priced well. Might have to hobble down there tomorrow.

 

[gotboost]

But in Edmonton you can go to Hosty or Canuck industrial sales or pumps and pressures Acklands Gregg's

 

[Trashy]

Your right..... Cardiff, probably doesn't have any of those place's yet.

I wouldn't mind a gas station with corner store here now.

Has anyone tried using hydraulic hose? It's rated 4000-6000psi dual steel braided and is cheap. Custom lengths. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just crimp on some fittings.

I'm surprised there isn't one there..... When I moved out of St. Albert 7 years ago, Cardiff was getting big enough for one then.

I am pretty sure that is what is on mine. IMO hydraulic hose is not designed to be flexible enough for a pressure washer.

Cardiff hasn't gotten any bigger lol. I think there is only a couple new houses.

We use the good stuff from hotsy. We run 3500 psi, 180 degree water. Princess auto stuff won't last

 

[Riverjet]

Nope, but it is a Princess Auto pressure washer.

pretty sure that's what we use on ours, our hotsy stationary unit is 3000 psi and the truck mounted karcher steamer/washer is 4000 psi and has a hundred feet on a hose reel.
