Power washer hose repair

kilianmanning

Hello folks,
I have an old bosch power washer that works perfect. But the hose has a couple of holes in it & i see one on ebay for like €70 but you'd be better buying a new one at that price:rolleyes: can it be joined together with some sort of plumbing fitting by any chance? this is the hose btw http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-Aquatak-120i-1300si-1350-Hose-Handle-F016F03055-NEXT-DAY-DELIVERY-/110846375473?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item19cef57631

Pirtek in Ballymount or else JJ Gillans on the old Airport Road,Santry will either repair the old hose or else make you up a new hose with new fittings.

They will either do it there on thre spot,or else leave it with them for a few hours to fix it.

Simples.:)

Cheaper than the link you posted.;)

Oh and the only link I have to either Pirtek or JJ Gillans is as a happy customer in the past.

Fixed a Karcher hose for me and also made up oil cooler braided lines for me before.

Op hope you dont mind me jumping in here for some advice.

Powerwasher has a small hole on the steel pipe and it's taking the pressure off the gun. Could I buy something that will seal it or would a sauldering iron work on it.

i think a new hose may be required
lidl had some yesterday(didnt suit my washer though)
€20 i think
or a repair by a professional(believe me i tried,without success )

No that's the problem but it's not the hose,it's the metal bit that's attached to the unit. Will take a pic tomorrow.
