Aqua Joe 50' FiberJacket Kink-Free Hose

AJFJH100-58-PRO - 100 ft Version x2 DON'T BUY! Please read my review before thinking about purchasing these. They no longer appear to honor their warranty. I would recommend staying away from this company and all other *Joe products. UPDATE **NEW** After Warranty Replacement Second hose failed same situation no signs of damage. This part of the hose never left my driveway as well. I taped this one off before shutting the water off since I couldn't see where the issue was after the water was off. its not like our water pressure here is insane as well and really based off reviews from people like Project Farm, the burst rating on these hoses is impressive. Do not buy these things as you will only get a warranty replacement as well. Which is frustrating since I can't trust the hose and really don't want to use them. But, at the same time I want to get my moneys worth. UPDATE Replacement has shipped. We will see how long it lasts. UPDATE I contacted support about getting a replacement and they keep losing my order. However when I contact an agent they say I will revive an update withing 48 hours. That was a week ago and I still have not revived anything. I am going to call them this time but I have doubts about getting a replacement now. UPDATED After almost exactly one moth of use the first hose failed. This part of the hose stays inside my garage and never comes in contact with anything that could have damaged it. That includes thorns, sharp/pointy rocks, animals, etc. All this hose has been used for is watering my front yard and garden and one car wash. After every use it was carefully wound up on a real that is attached to my wall inside the garage. Since I am also obsessed with inspecting equipment as I store it I was also looking for any foreign debris while storing it and had never found more then some dirt and lawn debris. It is also interesting that this failed while the hose was in use and not when I started watering this morning. I went out to move my sprinkler and noticed a lot of water in my garage. Good thing that my garage drains properly or else there could have been issues. There are no visible punctures or abrasions to the outside, so the damage is most likely with the inner hose itself. I would not recommend anyone buy this type of hose if they want to use if for an RV or Camper. This hose being so unreliable would not go well if it were to leak in an area that would cause additional damage. OLD This hose is a huge relief from used a PVC or Rubber hose by far. I live in an area where leaving a hose out front makes you really stand out so I like to pack everything up once I am done. Having something that is light yet has good performance is important to me. After my first use I was very impressed on the performance aspect as I had dealt with other fabric and expandable hoses in that past that were very disappointing on the water pressure side. I actually saw better performance out of this hose over a PVC/Rubber hybrid hose I had been using before. But it does not preform as good as my Craftsman rubber hose. Ease of use is fantastic as well. It is easy to deploy and pack up as it is as advertised lightweight. When deploying it, even though it is resistant to kinking, you need to be sure that you pull the hose out and ensure that there are no kinks when you first turn on the water. After the water is on you are in the clear to move this around without the stress of it kinking up every time you move it though. This thing is also fantastic when moving it around as it really doesn't catch on much of anything. In my front I usually have to maneuver around our cars and other hoses get stuck under the tires when they start to rub against them. This hose just glides past the tires without much effort at all. I can't talk to durability yet as I have not really used it much at this point. It looks and feels like it will be a long lasting hose, but the ends are of a little concern to me when looking at how they are attached. If I see anything of concern I will end up updating the review with what i have found as well though. I am sure if you are reading reviews you see all the reports of hoses bursting and/or failing in some way. I thought it was worth the risk based on what I needed. I also trust the brand since I have had positive interaction with their customer service in the past. I'm looking to buy a few of the 25 ft version as well for use with a above ground sprinkler system for my yard. But I am giving this a bit to see how well it works. I don't want a hose to fail while I have a sprinkler going for 30 to 45 minutes and just flood an area of my yard or garden.
