Best Solution Line

[Living The Dream]

What is the best solution line these days? I'm not worried about cost. I just want something with the least amount of memory, doesn't bleed on the carpet, and can take high heat.

Friday I was doing a post construction clean at a historical building that was being remodeled and my line blew right at my QC on/off valve. I'm glad I wasn't using high heat because it sprayed me right in the face, which was still actually pretty dang hot.

In my opinion, Goodyear is like Cool Cuffs. It’s fashionable to hate it, but it’s still the best.

30142 Carpet Cleaning Hose for Hot and Cold Water Use, 3000 PSI, 1/4 Inch by 100 Feet, Blue​

Bought this cheep hose on Amazon 4 years ago. Best hose I ever used. I bought 2 more for when it finally crapped out but its still going strong. had it cut down from 100 to 50.

I’ve never liked the weight of steel braided hose. The only other I ‘ve used is thermoplastic hose, so therefore super flex and parflex 1035ht are the only other hoses I’ve used. Parflex for the win, love it or hate it.

used Parflex which takes a long time to lose that fishing line coiling. Switched to Cobbs hose and like it better.

Hand coiled Parkers is my favorite..

I currently use that OEM hose blue in color and I believe Cobb's sold it at one point.. I bought it off amazon.. Decent hose for the price but it's grabby as in doesn't slide well..

 

[BIG WOOD]

Goodyear or eaglewash has been my favorite. But I think eaglewash was recently bought out from another company. Same quality, just a different stamp on it

Zero complaints so far

Westpak has sold it for decades with no chronic issues.

I've used it for years as long as your machine isn't a flame thrower, I get 2 years on avg, and then a small pin hole leak and I replace it.

Never had one explode like good year


Ps 100 ft for under a $100 on Amazon.

Same stuff Cobbs and bristor sold blue OEM.

It is a little stiff at first but when on use will relax.

You guys must be using piss warm water because my titan575 was too hot for that drinking straw of a hose. I went through several of them when I experimented with it. Waste of money

 

[SamIam]

What like a bulge and the end ?

Not everyone’s a Matt..

I also used it on my #4LG heater..

Same with Parker.. OEM hose I use is 200’ hand coiled.. Not steelbraided, but I do use a 25’ leader line of Neptune off both my SteamGenie and #4LG heater..

YMMV

I've got a few months use on my first solution hose on my first truckmount. In that time I've learned how to carry it and not smear driveway tar on it. I really like my solution line, it feels like the best solution line ever. I don't know what make it is.

I'll post an update in a few years when I have matured as a carpet cleaner.

 

[Bryce C]

I just learned mine is made by Eagle Wash. Wow, this thing really must be the best solution hose ever. It's over $80k/foot I'll need to pull out a loan when it's time to replace it.

Thats only a 125k over 21million for 250 ft. Id ask for terms of free shipping & 90 day same as cash

one other reason I like Cobbs is because they custom cut the length for me. I have a continuous 120 foot solution line. That way in Wisconsin winters there is not quick connect outside to freeze so its never a problem even at Zero degrees.

The ends were stainless on some not just steel

Any issues with bleeding on these? When is your upholstery tool going to be for sale?

no bleeding


Still perfecting the uph tool


Ive been using it a lot, and I realized just how much users will be cleaning with and without a Glide on (it works really good without in a lot of situations, so were beefing uo the internal inserts.

Waiting on a titanium beta head to test

Sounds good Mike. I'll be placing an order soon. Looking forward to the upholstery tool. I love my Drimaster but it's a pain to take apart and clean, and it's starting to leak water around the valve. I probably need to strip it completely down and rebuild.

Best? Parker parflex 50’s why? Less chance of marking up vinyl floors from heat transfer, and last decades with heavy high heat use.
