Which swivels are you buying and how has the reliability been? How long do they last before leaking?
that is why I said unfortunately about the 25 ft. the 100 ft. would be to replace from the equipment room to my furthest bay. My wash is old.
ohiyoo pressure wash swivels. I just bought them and haven't usd them yet. Unfortunately from China so when tariffs hit price will rise.
Please post a link of the 100ft hose from kleen rite thats $300. I also wouldn't call a swivel much cheaper until you use it and see how long it lasts.
Same.
continental hose 3/8 is 2.14 - 2.27 per foot. Shipping and Calif. sales tax brings it up to around $300.
This hose (with single wire braid) is 12' long and costs $27.42 which equals $2.28 per foot...and it has swaged hose fittings.
I thought I was the only one that had this issue. Kleenrite and fluid controls brands of the same style - the ball bearing swivel. We never had this issue with the older ones. May try the smc ones next, one of the washes we bought came with some of them and they seem to work good and no leaks so far. Tried mosmatic in one bay a while back, wasn't that impressed with the longevity we got out of it, about 6 months in a busy bay.
We used the mosmatic at the gun, so wear and tear would be higher, but we have been getting longer life out of other brands of cheaper swivels in the same or busier bays, not worth the premium IMO. This is a sample size of 1, so probably not a fair assessment either.
