I had been using a Home Depot "contractor hose", but they already began to fail--connections come loose & leak when you tighten them. J Racenstein has a 100 ft Goodyear hose, but it's listed as a hose for a WFP system. Anyone use this hose as their supply & rinse hose? Any other suggestions on which hose to use would be great.
Trying to avoid buying a $150 / 100 ft heavy duty black contractor hose from my PW supplier.

I buy black rubber hoses from a farm store. (Farm and Fleet) You can get them at most home stores, too. They develop no memory, don't crack, are easier to put new ends on, kink less and are easier to un-kink while working, and can be driven over. They are also cheaper.

Also, I buy 50' lengths. easier to haul around, and you can have less "extra"m hose in the way if you want. Plus, you get really good at eying up distances when you get used to seeing things in 50' increments. Home Depot $30 bucks, and no shipping.
I use the sears Goodyear hose. Been the best hose I used to date. I use it for the pressure side of the booster pump and they hold up real well. Home Depot hose sucks. I went thru 200 ft in one month. Never again.

Jeff,
Just make sure you use 5/8 or even 3/4 hose for the Bulk Rinse Module.

Thanks.
Mike, I returned 9 hoses to HD on Sunday. ALL of them were less than 1 month old, and 3 already were leaking at the fittings.
I'm with Michael on Sears hoses. I have used them (Craftsman) forever because Sears has a no questions asked lifetime guarantee return policy. I just took one in we cut with a backhoe along time ago. Walked out with a brand new one. No receipt needed.

We have been using the black and red Goodyear hoses as well. They hold up are priced right and they great cold weather flexibility.
