To hide a hose ? … or not.

We tested hide-a-hose.

Pros

• convenient having the solution hose hiding inside vac hose

Cons

• reduces cfm (airflow) about 15% per 50 feet.
• cools off the water temps from wind chill factor of air rushing through hose
• a permanent change that is hard to undo
• can catch debris on hose
• does not extend life of solution hose as we thought it would because solution hose fittings still take abuse.
• makes it difficult to use end of vac hose to cuff along walls.

A smarter alternative is these durable rubber bands. I used them for years without any major problems…

I’m really considering making a smaller size for portable users as they always seem to like strapping their hose together.
