[Closed] Is it ok to use a fold flat hosepipe with a jetwash?

When using a jetwash does anyone use a fold flat hosepipe? I'm thinking it'd be ok but am a little worried that the jetwash will be pumping the water out so quickly that the hose will collapse on itself. Does it have to be a rigid hosepipe?

Good question... I suspect that he pump *could* suck the pipe flat unless you have very good pressure/flow.
Would be interesting to hear how it goes.

Can't see it being a problem , i use a hozelock hose & reel for my pressure washer and never had a problem . Just make sure there's no kinks in it prior to use .

The volume of water trying to come through the hose pipe is far greater than coming out the jet wash so the pipe will stay inflated

my waterpressure is so much that i have to turn the tap down or it blows the blow off valve on the pressure washer when i switch let go of the trigger and the motor stops..... - a bosch aquatak 115 so not cheap crap.

i wouldnt be worried about the hose at all.
