Ok fellas. This is starting to get annoying. I need some hoses. I just bought two supposedly industrial grade goodyear hoses from home depot. These were the heaviest duty ones they had in stock. I've had them 3 weeks and one already has a slice clean through it. Its literally being used as a garden hose, aside from some sticks and very few rocks there is nothing even remotely sharp nearby. I bought this particular hose to replace a medium duty hose that I had for 2 months before it bubbled from the heat like it was melting and then exploded.

I live on a farm. I need a good hose to give my animals water. What the hell do I need to look for to get a hose that is going to not be low quality garbage.

I just buy a hose when they are on sale because they all die from uv rays for me.
The white ones maybe last a little more than the greeen

Guys, don't forget to use a blowout adapter to remove water before it starts to get cold.

you need reinforced rubber suction/delivery hose. it won't resist a hungry goat or a lawnmower, but it makes 'garden hose' look like a paper straw.

That's a nice one. If you don't mind me asking, how much did she set you back?

Just splice the fucker when it gets damaged with hose Barbs or just a smaller diameter pipe and gear clamps.

You probably just got one that got cut when someone opened the box and you just noticed now. Return it and get a new one.

I've had 100ft goodyear and continental hoses for 12+ years, never had an issue.
Must be operator error anon.

We're owned three. Bought one and the other two were replacements. They can't handle high pressure. After a few months each one got a bulge right after where it connects to the spigot. These were used for a simple sprinkler so they were on for several hours a week but no being moved much. Still failed.

Op unless you live far north just rent a trencher and run some pex underground with a spigot... will save time in the long run and won’t even be that expensive
