A horrible hose................, July 20, 2007
This review is from: Gilmour 12 Series 5 Ply Marine & Recreation Hose 5/8 Inch x 50 Feet 12-58050 White w/Aqua Stripe (Lawn & Patio)
I've used the Gilmour Flexogen hoses for years with complete satisfaction so when I ordered this hose it never crossed my mind that it would not be a quality product. I would have liked to have seen the look on my face the first time I used this hose! At low pressure its fine, but if you put a nozzle or cut off on the end and let the pressure build.......holy cow! I watched in amazement as the hose swelled larger and larger and writhed on the ground like a live thing. Very creepy. Apparently in making it drinking water safe they didn't use enough tire cord to keep its shape. Hose gets stiff and totally unwieldy. Swells like a hotdog on the grill. Its hard to describe but suffice to say compared to a "normal" hose its practically unusable. The Apex Neverkink drinking water hose also sold by Amazon is much better and holds its shape/diameter.
