HOSE COMPARISON
It is important to match up the accessories to the power of the machine. If the hoses and nozzles are the incorrect size, they will lower the performance and cause excessive wear on the engine and pump.
Proper care and maintenance are important to extend the lifespan of your high-pressure water hose. Keeping a hose in good condition is also a matter of safety. When a hose blowout occurs due to worn out or damaged equipment, water and cleaning solvents under very high pressure (and often at extreme temperatures) are released, which can cause serious injuries.

TIPS FOR HOSE MAINTENANCE
USE ATTACHMENTS THAT FIT
if you plan to use spray wands, nozzles, or pressure washer attachments with your hose, you need to make sure you have the correct fittings, couplers and adapters.DON'T DRAG OR KINK IT
Although pressure washer hoses are made to be flexible, you should avoid aggressively pulling on them, forcing them around corners or repeatedly dragging them over rough surfaces.DONT FLATTEN IT
When a hose is flattened, the braided reinforcement can break, which could potentially lead to a blowout.
USE IT CORRECTLY
Pressure washer hoses should only be used at their specific temperature and pressure rating. Temperatures that are too high can cause the rubber of the hose to harden and crack.KEEP IT CLEAN
As with any other type of equipment, pressure washer hoses should be properly cleaned after each use.In addition, if you live in a climate where it regularly gets below freezing, you should winterize your hose by removing excess liquids after each use.
