I'm sorry, I don't remember the cost per foot. I got it all at Windtrax, and it came in 20' lengths I believe. If you're not close to a distributor like Windtrax, I don't know how it could be shipped in those lengths. I checked the Windtrax site and didn't see it listed.

I ran mine from the beginning of my trough to the top of the bay. Then used a hose to connect either end to the pump stand and top of the boom. You need the flexibility to absorb any vibration.

Update: I'm the original OP. I replaced all of the hoses from the pump heads to the guns in all bays. Problem solved. There is no residual soap appearance in the HP rinse when switching from HP soap. Clear and great! I used ordinary HP hose this time around just to get things fixed. Now I'm going to take my time and investigate long-term solutions with stainless, thermoplastic, etc. Thanks to all.

I have the braided hp hose for my feed lines, the switch over is horrible. It progressively gotten worse year by year. From reading other threads here, I knew it was likely the hoses and was planning on changing them soon. (Thanks mep as usual!)

Now this thread has me re-energized to move it up the priority list and get it done right Now.

Thanks guys its gonna be great!

I'm looking at a thermoplastic hose I think at dultmier.. I like the cleanstream hose a lot, just need to find out what the inner tube is made of.

Edit- I think clean stream may be suitable its seamless poly inner tube. Cheaper and so far it's been great for my drop hoses.
