My thoughts on the 5/8 softwash hose after several jobs.

Said you were in Missouri. I don’t mind picking it up if you still have it

It's already gone.

Don’t hold back, now. Tell us how you really feel!😂😂😂. Good video, Kenny. I really enjoy your subjects.

[@Survival-sd7gf]

I'd like to say for 61 great job learning alot thanks

[@vansage2691]

I went from 1/2 to 3/4 hose on my booster pump and I barely use it since most of my job have a piece of concrete to wash so I just drag the pressure hose around and 12v roofs

[@pressurewashingsarasota]

I've used 5/8 flexzilla for about a year now and I can tell you I have the same problems. I will be buying 1/2 when the time comes.

[@housewashing5693]

I'm not even liking my flexzilla garden hose. It flattens out on the reel restricting the flow.

[@seattleprowash5464]

@@housewashing5693 yeah Flexzilla sucks for sure, always kinky

[@Garyandterry]

I use 300ft of 3/8 flexzilla on a modified hose reel designed for 100ft of 5/8 hose. Super light and easy to use on a roof and gives me good enough distance with a 5gpm pump. Cheap way to get started and definitely needed on larger properties or acreages

[@cleanritepressurecleaning4076]

We use 5/8 ag hose rated for 600psi and definitely don’t have those problems. We also get more flow and distance than we did with the 1/2”. Fierce jet makes great hose just not that hose. Great videos.

[@toddhillberry4948]

I've gotten some great advice off of your videos. Keep them coming.

[@pashagold]

I have 5/8 hydrauli-flex soft jet on my 12v and can’t complain as I don’t use it as much. On next round I’ll probably go with 1/2”. Pressure hose is more important to me as I downstream with a remote. My biggest complaint about 250 feet of 5/8 is how long it takes to clear the line.

[@dylanthornsberry8778]

my complaint is that hose kinks like crazy. No clue why but it's so annoying.

[@cleanmaxexteriorpowerwashing]

I started with a blue kuritec 5/8 hose and my only complaint about it was how heavy it is. I switched to a 1/2 now

[@housewashing5693]

I think I'll stick with the 1/2 as well.

[@brandon6451]

Did you notice any difference in performance? I'll be hooking up a 5.5gpm 12v

[@cleanmaxexteriorpowerwashing]

@@brandon6451 i think its about the same, I haven’t done any 12v job in a while so..

[@deepsouthdiggers580]

I haven't switched to a gas roof pump yet. I'm still downstreaming with my 5 GPM pressure washer and rinsing with my 10 GPM. When I do have a roof to do I just use my 12V setup.

[@housewashing5693]

Nothing wrong with that

[@housewashing5693]

Why don't you use your 10 gpm to ds and rinse?

[@deepsouthdiggers580]

@@housewashing5693 just haven't got the right injector yet. I'm setting up a second trailer that will have 2 of the 10 GPM on it along with a 5.5 and that one I'll be able to downstream with one of the big pressure washers. Which injector would you recommend me getting for the 10 GPM machine? My setup is exactly like yours.

I use 1/2 ag hose on my 600 psi ar30. I really miss using 1/2 Flexzilla hose. Those ag hose always curl up on me even with 2 swivels, but with 600 psi I have no choice but to use ag hose. Flexzilla was my favorite.

[@housewashing5693]

How do you like the ar30's output? What gun do you use? I almost converted to that pump

[@yanislav16]

@@housewashing5693 I had comet p40 previous to AR30. Ar30 is much better. The build quality is great, all the plastic parts are really thick and extra pressure is nice. It has a dampening diaphragm which allows you to see when your pump is building up too much pressure. It's a rubber piece that will burst to prevent pump leaks. At 1st I wanted to get AR45, but it seems after awhile they tend to get leaks. On Facebook groups I see a lot of people complaining about that.

You bought the wrong 5/8” hose. You should have bought Kuritec 5/8”. It’s the best and you won’t have any of these problems. Soft, easy to pull around objects and robust. I’ve used the same hose for 2 years now and it’s held up great!

[@housewashing5693]

Sounds great! Have you always used 5/8?

[@cedarclean-cedarroofcleani8148]

No, I originally used 1/2” Kuritec hose then switched to 5/8” 4 years ago. I like the increased flow.@@housewashing5693

@@housewashing5693 5/8 is a little heavier but not that bad. I actually use 3/4”x50’ laid on the ground then connect 5/8”x75’sections as needed. All connected with garden hose fittings. Bypass all hose reels with potential leaks and restrictions.

I have heard great things about the flexible hose. When I build my system, I will be running it. The question still remains 1/2 or 5/8" I have the pump already 7gpm at 100psi.

I think 1/2 is fine for 12 volt systems. However 5/8 will be a tiny bit better. On gas pumps 5/8 would be my choice.
