1 wire hose vs. 2 wire hose

[the_GUNN_man]

I was just wondering who uses what and why? I use 2 wire hose but it is heavy and stiff. Would anyone recommend the 1 wire over the 2 wire? They make 1 wire 3000 and 4000 psi hose. I rarely use 3000 psi and was thinking about going to a 3000 psi 1 wire hose. I would just like to hear peoples opinion on it.

i use 2 wire hose and think it last a lot longer. we wash houses and the hose gets scuffed, bent ,and all kind of things. have been using it for 5yrs or more. suds mckenzie

I have many customers with 3000 PSI rigs that prefer using the 3000 PSI -1- wire hose due to the weight, and flexibilty.

1 or 2 wire hose

I use 2 wire if i know the hose is going to be ran over. and one wire near the gun end its easier to manuver. The (neoprene/snake skin) stuff i like at the gun end and on jobs that i know the hose wont get pinched in doors run over or vibrate on ruff terain For nasty environment 2 wire Good year Neptune

I now use i-wire due to its light weight and easier to pull around. I have some 2 wire hose 4 years old! 1 wire last me about 2 years max hope that helps.
