weird question... but what water hose would you suggest?
The one that the condo supplies kinda works, but it is too stiff and the threading for connecting the nozzle is weak (high water pressure will cause the attachment to pop off). The condo association isn't keen on buying another hose.
Are there any favourites as to a hose that is more flexible, portable (easy to roll up), and has a threading that can handle the pressure? I only need it to be 15 or 20 feet long.

interesting idea.. however if it springs back, I'm hessitant to use it
I picture it constantly slamming into the body of the car when I try rinse/wash the side of the car that is opposite to the water source.
What do you think of the econoflo flat hose?<ul><li><a href="http://www.econoflo.com/econoflo_flat_hose.html">multipurpose high-pressure fire hose</a></li></ul>

at $13 I'm going to forget portability.. I'm donating the hose to the condo so I can use it.
That should make it a permanent fixture.. and hopefully they'll toss the previous hose.
Thanks

The hose is cheap enough, but ................
hiding it isn't. I picked this up to hide the hose (for planter watering) on the upper deck at my home.

Re: weird question... but what water hose would you suggest?
I like the Goodyear brand full rubber hoses for automotive use, and they are usually only about $5 more than the other types. They are softer than the "plastic" feeling garden-type hoses and thus safer to paint if they accidentally bump it. Nice sturdy machined copper threaded ends instead of cheap stamped steel.
Also, they are supposed to be oil and gas resistant so if they get drug through a few drips on the shop floor they won't degrade like a garden hose.
