I got hoses with lifetime guarantees from OSH and HD. I think the brand is Gilmour. I've had them for maybe 8 years now and they're working fine. They're expensive, but probably worth it over time. They're extremely kink-resistant, but will kink if abused sufficiently. So far two have survived 4 years on the south side of my current house in Scottsdale. Pretty amazing - I buy big 45 gallon Rubbermaid plastic containers for my pool junk, and they literally crumble after a year or two. Amazing how destructive the sun is here in AZ. I understand if the Gilmour hose ever fails, you just chop off the fitting and send it back to them, and they'll send you a new hose. --Neil <bearclaw@cruller.invalid> wrote in message news:bearclaw-860359.16434106082001@corp.supernews.com... > ARggh!
