Powerwasher hose and reel??

17 years ago

I have a TroyBuilt power washer with the Honda engine. I like it but the hose is really cheap. its hard to controll and stiff.

I was thinking of replacing the hose with higher quality 3/8" hose.

I was also thinking about buying and installing a hose reel.

Has anyone used these, and how much power did you loose at the tip after you installed it?

You not going to fine hose that can hold that kind pressure thats not stiff pressure on mind 2700 psi hose bust pressure higher than that so have to go higher pressure hose it would be much stiffer. One best places to find what looking for in reel be with a machine called high presure hot water washer price will be higher on reel and hose than another washer your type.

I have seen Powerwasher hose that are flexible that goes up to 4000psi. How flexible it is is based on what it is made of. I think mine has a lot of plastic or vinal in it. Some are rubber and for even more money there are thoes that use different materials, but are flexiable.
