Ive had mine from cleantec coming on 5 years, used 3/4 times a week and its still perfect.
I'm by no means a font of all knowledge on hoses, but I've had to make up plenty of hydraulic hoses before.
Sounds like you were supplied with a lower rated pressure hose. The wires breaking through is due to the high water pressure funding weak spots in the wire braiding and then breaking through the outer rubber. It could equally be a bad batch of hose with weak or corroded braiding. Last thing it could be is the wrong amount of wraps of wire braiding.
To be honest, I'd be looking a new hose with correct pressure rating and number of braid wraps.
If you can find out the max pressure delivery of your pressure washer, then the hose should be rated for at least 1.5 times that.
Really ? Only ever got one hose off them but it's been 100% for years now.Nothing surprises me with cleantec, they haven’t a scooby doo.
Yep, more their back up and found their knowledge on some items lacking, have a kranzle (last ever, hate it) had bother with two now, ended up fixing it myself with the help of a great lad called Malcom from acquaspray in England, he took half an hour on the phone with me and then rang back to see if I needed anymore help, they didn’t seem to know what the issue was.Really ?

As far as I’m aware Honda don’t make any pressure washers, so you need to ch3ck what you are getting. There are various manufactures fitting Honda engines to pressure washers with a vast range of pumps.Anyone much experience with Honda petrol pressure washers, or is there a better option around the £800 mark?

As far as I’m aware Honda don’t make any pressure washers, so you need to ch3ck what you are getting. There are various manufactures fitting Honda engines to pressure washers with a vast range of pumps.
For £800 you’re looking at domestic quality with the cheaper Honda gv engine and a decent brass pump.
Industrial range with a gx range would start at over £1000.
Speak to the guys at superclean for more advice, or go and have a look and try some.
Your picture looks like a painted pump, which makes me think it’s aluminium. They are ok, but will wear out quicker, especially if you run it dry. Loncin and mitsi engines also available for less money.
6.5hp one at 13lpm is more than ample for a car and yard washing. Twice the flow of most electric domestic washers.
