Andy135 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Some of you may know that my Hosecoil deck wash hose has more holes in it than @Saintly Fish's thruster tube, and I've been looking for a replacement for some time that wasn't either astronomically expensive or sold from the US with import charges. I finally found somewhere online that sold not only the right hose, but it also came with a new spray head and sponge, all for £15! https://cpc.farnell.com/hosecoil/580-hs5004u/self-coiling-hosepipe-std-blue/dp/SI18847?st=hosecoil The hose length is about 2.5 times what I need, so I've cut it to length and will keep the rest as a spare. #littlewin!

Odyssey Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Looks great just what I’m looking for 🙂 My deck was connected directly to pump buried under the deck. Hose split so I’ve cut it back and now have a stainless connector which I can connect a standard garden hose to. Just need a curly hose to connect for washing down.... if I could only get to the boat..... 😢😢😢😢 Edited February 26, 2021 by Odyssey Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 im the category manager for "a well know trades retailer" and look after outdoor- inc hoses - so would be good to get your verdict on the hosecoil - who makes it? we do mostly Hozelock, & Fitt Spa hoses - some own brand. ive found the hozelock superhose to be good (when used correctly) and the YoYo stretch hose - both pack away nice and small.

HoseCoil make the hose in question (https://hosecoil.com/). They seem to be mostly well known for marine deck wash systems but I also see that they've branched out into the garden hose space and also do that flat pack spiral hose too. My old HoseCoil hose had a couple of pinhole leaks, which was why I needed to replace it (TBF it was around ten years old). Other online reviews suggest that the HoseCoil hoses split at the tap end when used in a garden setting (likely the point of most articulation and therefore stress on the hose itself). I'll let you know how I get on with the new hose, but for the price I can't really complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I have a flexible hose lock one for washing down, it packs down really small without wrestling with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
