Do you mean page 31?  I don't see anything on page 23.

David,

 

I think I posted the link to the place that I bought my mill hose
http://www.amazonhose.com/products/water-discharge-hose/

 

If you click on the link to their catalog - or just go here:
http://www.amazonhose.com/amazon-hose-paper-catalog/  and scroll down to
page 23, you will see the mill hose that I have. It's the second one down
from the top - it's rated at 250 psi and is 100% polyester. I bought mine
about eight years ago and have never had a leak in any of my five hoses. The
hose is available in 1.5", 2" 2.5", 3" and so on - I'm quite sure I have the
two inch.

Yes it is and it's not that old.  Interestingly, when the hose is deflated
of course it flattens out and it's at the sharp bend that the leaks have
happened.  Maybe it was just lousy material.  Need to find something better
though.

Yes, in the hose itself.  


Ouch! I just replaced my old clamps, using 2"x4" aluminum 
instead of the maple in the original, and kept the old hoses. 
They still seem fine. I used a polyester (no outer coating) 
hose with a clear urethane inner coating, and something like a 
250 or 300psi rating. Mine came from a fire fighter supply 
locally, but it's just mill hose under another name.

Sounds like the lining in yours has deteriorated. Is it rubber?
