I have been running single wire for years but recently switched to a larger hot water unit. The hose has only got 150 hours on it and I've blown holes in it twice! It's rated to 220 degrees and 4000 psi and I'm operating at 200 and 3600psi. The heat seams to feel as if it's sofening the rubber hose.
They always seam to blow when I trigger off, like it gets a bit of a pressure spike for a split second until the unloader cuts in. Maybe I'm running it to close to tolerance and the spike sends it over.
Last one was about 20 feet awat from me and sent a 15 foot stream of hot water into the air until I was able to shut it all down. Been using these hoses for years with cold water with no problems, but as soon as I switched to hot with the new hose, I've started getting blowing issues.
I see some hoses are now rated to 310 degrees like the link below.
So where does everybody get their hoses from, and then I have to have it shipped to Australia.
Thanks!
