Just watched an advert for the 'X Hose' and had never been aware of it before.

I have lots of rubbish hoses, connections , hose heads etc that i have gathered over the years.

I have discovered that i have 2 burst, coil type hoses this winter that were left with water sitting in them.

so,

before i start searching for the best price on a 'X Hose' and flash the cash,

are there any suggestions for an alternative hose that i can just carry about in the vehicle.?

thanks.

They are expensive in the UK. If the inner, expandable liner gets pierced you're done for. I'm not sure they fit standard UK fittings. see http://www.amazon.com/Xhose-25ft-Seen-Expandable-Water/product-reviews/B009H9OLVY/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 for reviews.

I've used layflat hoses in the past, but the disadvantage is that you have take them off the reel to use.

Cheers.

I have had flat tape type hoses in the past or my dad did. that just reeled in and these always just lasted a few years before leaking,

handy tho for taking away when in the caravan or the likes.

Something more up to date with some longevity is the kind of thing that would suit my needs.

Must have a look and see what 'Machine Mart' can do for robust but easily portable and compact.
