Anyone have experience with this hose?
Also is there benefit to using 100ft sections instead of 50ft sections? I figured 50ft so if I have one go bad I only have to replace 50ft instead of 100ft.

Hello all, sort of a newb to the forum but certainly not to pressure washing. I stumbled across this thread looking for the most durable hose for the best price, as I assume we all are. I personally have always used Hotsy 3000psi+ machines with heat, and I mean a lot of it. Heat DEFINITELY has an effect on hose life. Honestly though, I don't know how you cold water guys do it. It literally cuts my cleaning time exponentially depending on the degree of heat. My experience started in the oil fields of South Texas, and has continued with my own business now serving the Central Texas area servicing both commercial and residential properties. My burner is on its normally set no lower than 180* and depending on who is running my machines the unloaders can have their work cut out for them. It always seems on my jobs that I'll have contractors, property owners, or general traffic driving over my hoses and it takes more time out of the job to move them than to just let them roll over them. In the oilfield, it was big rigs and caliche gravel. I've never had a R1 hose last more than 2 months, and more times than I was comfortable did they split in half and nearly damage the homeowner's property. I don't think I'll ever attach another R1 hose to my machine. Also, when I was in the oil field and tried to have the R1 hoses cut and repaired, they always blew the fittings off. Something about the R1 just not being thick enough to hold in the compression fittings.
So I'm looking for two 100' lengths of 3/8" R2 hose non-marking (blue preferred) capable of a lot of heat and at least 4000psi and shipping to 78727. Looking to order asap.
I might just try a Goodyear Neptune 50' of some sort length behind wand, but that is just a thought. Anyone running high heat high pressure like myself have any input?
I'd like to thank you guys and gals in advance for all of the useful knowledge you graciously share with the rest of us. No matter what size rig and operation you run, there's always something new to learn.
