I'll go home and take a picture of the hose extended. Currently, I have the hose adapter from the blue hawk connected to the original SunJoe hose. All I have to do is connect the blue hawk hose to the other end of the adapter and I have it extended. The only thing I won't be able to do is...
I was able to extend the SJ hose with the Lowes Blue Hawk hose adapter. Shop Blue Hawk 30-ft Pressure Washer Hose at Lowes.com
I had a 50' and it was wayyyy too long for my needs. I got the 30' and it was the perfect length. Not too long and not too short. My driveway can fit 4 cars and the SPX...
So I picked up the hose. Quality seems better whereas the Apache was more rubbery. 30' is the perfect length.
The hose adapter that came with the blue hawk actually fits the original hose. The adapter has 15mm on one end and 14mm on the other (it's marked). So I'm able to extend if I need to...
Anytime I see landscapers using a leaf blower, I roll up the window. I don't want dirt, grass clipping, leaves and other stuff coming into the car. It's bad enough I have allergies outside of the car, I don't want it in the car.
For whatever reason, the piece in the original hose is a bit wide and won't fit the openings of the M22 adapters. Didn't fit the Home Depot M22 quick disconnects or the adapter that came with the Apache.
I ended up returning the hose due to possible loss of pressure - http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-tools-accessories/92197-loss-pressure-my-new-pressure-washer-hose.html
I returned it and ended up getting Apache 50' 1/4 diameter hose - Apache 10085585 Engineered Hybrid Polymer...
Thanks. I hope you used a 10% off coupon. I ended up saving $4.
I washed 3 cars yesterday and even though the 50' was long enough, it was maybe too long and coiled up. I would connect the SJ hose if I need more reach if I needed but no adapters work with it.
Ended up ordering the 30' Blue Hawk for pick up at Lowes. They did have the 30' but picture are different, price and info is the same except for the PSI (2700 vs 3100)
This is the one listed with 1/4 - Shop Blue Hawk 1/4-in x 30-ft Pressure Washer Hose at Lowes.com
This is the one I ordered -...
Not as thick as the one that came with the washer. But 50' is long enough for what I need to do...maybe a little too long.
What made you decide to go with blue hawk?
I may give the 30' blue hawk a try. They don't have at any of the local Lowes store so I have to get it shipped. If I end liking...
So I got to use the Sun Joe...and I'm loving it! Washed 3 cars. I got a quick connect for the garden hose to the washer. At first, it was gushing like a mofo with the teflon. I guess because it wasn't fully on, water was coming out. Removed the teflon and tightened the quick connect and no more...
Yea, typically a few scrapes of the nail will get it lifted/rolled up before peeling. Maybe previous owner didn't add enough coats to the point where it's thick.
