Pressure washer hose

Cyber-Mav · 2026-05-11T14:31:55+0100

Fed up with the leaks on my hose so now looking to replace it.
Anyone got any recommendations?
Need something that's 25m long 3/8 thick and has 3/8 quick connects.
Don't want to spend mega money but can't be dealing with cheap junk that doesn't last.
Current hose the ends are rusty and that seems to cause the leak.
Stainless fittings would be nice

If I needed to replace I'd get a 3/4" one now as the water pressure here isn't as good a previous house so I cut the 50m 3/8 hoze down to a 30
to reduce pressure drop and karcher recirculation valve cutting in sometimes.

I'd specced this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07HLKDK6H and was keeping an eye on it...
and get some gardenia fittings

AHH I guess I wasn't clear it's not the inlet hose from mains I need the high pressure hose from pump to gun

What brand is your pressure washer?

Nilfisk products are good, do they have anything?

It's a petrol one 212cc job. Had for few years. The hose itself is in decent condition but the end fittings being regular steel are rusted up and now leak.

similar to my concern on supply hose diameter, can a pressure washer drive a 25m hoze without stressing the motor,
i have an original karcher one about 7/8m ... long enough to get around the car with washer at one corner.

iv had 2 electric pressure washers die on me so went petrol in the end.

been eying this hose up but its 1/4 inch too,
25m would be fine for my use. 3/8 preferred but i think 5/16 is ok too.
has to be stainless ends, cant deal with rusting again
