The hose will look fine. But it decays from the inside out. Here's an easy test...m..
Take your finger and push on the hose. If it is almost rock hard, it's as good as new. If your thumb pushes it in, it's starting to deteriorate. Depending on how quickly the dimple from your thumb recovers can tell you how thin the wall of the hose has become. If you push in and your thumb punches through, you're now ready for a new part.

damn, just poked mine and its pretty soft. How soft is yours? does it dimple when you press it?
mine looks good but i had never pressed into it. Now i think i need to get it replaced. Thought i had a magic hose that didnt rot but i think its thinner than i thought.
