- I just bought a new 3/4" Blue Kuri-Tec Thermoplastic PVC hose today from my local rubber products store. This hose looks TOUGH! I bet I'll get much more life out of this than my old Neverkink hose.
Going to break 'er in tomorrow, got a tough roof to tackle. Light grey 20 year old roof, never been cleaned, both sides are hideous, especially the north side. It's going to take a LOT of bleach on this one. I'll probably go through about 50 gallons of roof mix.
Here's the link to my new roof hose.

How was the price? | |

| 100ft. I paid $.95/ft for the Kuri-Tec PVC 3/4" hose.
I still have about 90ft of Neverkink hose left, that I will still use until it busts too many times that it becomes too short to use. | |

| GRRR, got rained out today. I got half-way through the roof with my new hose and it started fu@king raining. Rain washed off all the chemicals before they had a chance to soak in and work it's majic. Roof is still streaky with only parts of it clean. Sucks I have to go back out and waste more time and gas, not to mention more chemical, which now costs twice the price I paid last time. I'll probably end up using 100 gallons of mix on one freaking roof! On the bright side, I love my new hose. It's lighter weight than my neverkink hose and it's slick surface makes it easier to drag, works great! | |

I love the Kurri Tec hose, we use red 5/8 everyday. Talk about bullchit, people think big hose is harder to use ? That is because the idiots dont PULL all the hose on the roof to begin with. They fight the freaking hose, the dumb azzes. We managed a grand to day, but did nothing yesterday .... | |
