:laugh: Well , since WG seems to be capable of answering almost every question about life , liberty , and the parfait of happineffs , (hey , that's what the document says :grin:) . What say you regarding water hoses . Purchased an expensive "never kink" hose a few years back , what a bit of false advertising . Unfortunately , the on line distributor refused return of this product , which should be marketed as "Oh , it's gonna kink , and not just in one place either" :tongue: So ... any one have a recommendations for a readily available no kink hose . Sorry , stuff like this just frustrates the dickens out of me , HELP :laugh:

Well here goes, Dusty. I work in the water and wastewater treatment field and we have NEVER come across a hose that is truly "kink proof". Some of the most expensive ones do a pretty good job, but you give up flexibility. We have even purchased industrial hose,(Dayco and GoodYear) put our own ends on them and although they last a great deal longer they still will kink. Gilmour hoses sold at TrueValue are the least evil and readily available. Not cheap though.

Non kinking water hoses are like "Clean Coal" there is no such animal.

My wife uses a Gatorhyde 1/2 hose and it works great. It is very light weight (even full of water because it's 1/2") and very stiff so does not expand and hold pressure the way others do. The stiffness resists kinking. Easiest hose I've used.
(We also have a 5/8" version of the hose but it is too stiff to coil easy and is more likely to kink because its weight with water is greater.)
Like below only 1/2"

The 1/2" hose is on a swiveling reel and it is very easy to use and coil back up:
