No Kinks, No Damage Pressure Washer Hose

No Kinks, No Damage

Several years ago, I noticed my neighbor pressure-washing her driveway. The pressure washer hose was “dancing” all over the concrete from the pulses generated by the pump, and as a result, it was almost worn through in several spots. To preserve the hose on my pressure washer, I went to the auto supply store and bought some inexpensive black split-wire loom. It slips over the high-pressure washer hose quite nicely, and it protects the hose from wear. Plus, it prevents kinking, the most common cause of hose damage. — William R. Law
