What's the difference between this and the model 22783 white hose that is less tha $10? Size(compactness)? Durability? Leaking? Fittings?

Simply said same "blue" year 3. We went through white in less than 1 season leaked at fitting faucet end no matter what I tried. Walmart typically carries the blue but I needed les than 25 feet. Good luck.

The hose that is ten dollars will kink and last about two years.This blue hose i bought i hope it will last a little longer.Use your own judgment. Some times chipper is not better.

If you have this item long enough to wear out the hose then I would recommend purchasing a complete new kit. The 15ft replacement hose (Camco #39681 RhinoFLEX 15' RV Sewer Hose) is going for $27.09 right now and the entire kit is only $29.83 so for $2.74 more you get everything and start fresh. The construction of this kit is the best I've seen and it's the only one I will use. I hope this was helpful. Best wishes and Happy Camping!

I bought one for the same use. Sometimes it leaks - not a lot, just enough to be irritating - sometimes it doesn't. I try to really tighten it down hard and that seems to stop any leaks. Just don't think I should have to work that hard! But the size and price point are both ideal!

The ones I got were brass and had renewable (you could take them apart) ends. Inevitably, you'll get a hole somewhere. If it's close to the end, open the fitting (takes a large hex wrench or a big screwdriver inside, and a grabber-type tool for the outside), remove the stub, clip off the leaky end and remake. I will say that BOTH the 25 and 50 foot models, despite being inside all but a couple inch slot (they're deck mounted on a boat) in the 4" pipe they're stored in, developed multiple pinhole leaks in a couple of years along the exposed portion. So, these hoses aren't very UV robust. Keep them in the shade. Also resist the temptation to just let go of them when you've finished stretching it. They stow very neatly, if you'll just take a moment to restore the curl, even if you don't have some sort of dedicated storage device for it. Otherwise you'll have a major tangle, and an easy time of developing a kink (no water!) the next time.

For longer reach, I would replace (not extend) the original hose with one of larger diameter. Larger diameter at the same flow rate will have lower frictional loss, with a lower loss of pressure.

I do not know. I was so disgusted and just returned the hose. I was charged a restocking fee even though the hose leaked! Does not seem sturdy.

Okay, here's my followup. I took the hand held shower head off the hose, and turned on the water - there was no restriction I could detect. The only thing I still find mildly disappointing is that the hose is somewhat stiff, and has never straightened out, or lost 100% of it's 'memory' of the coil and bends it came with. On the other hand I can't find a smooth white shower hose of this length at any bath shop or home improvement store - so I can live with those flaws. I will however keep my eyes open for a better hose to replace it.

I didn't look when I got it. I have used it for couple months now with no problems. Even had construction people working on my house use it and they have not managed make it leak or fail. The trick is to not leave water in the hose after use. Empty and put away. I have a very small basket under the hose nozzle where it is stored when empty of water and water pressure. Works great, stores in a very small place, and I believe this hose type will take over the market for home use.

Same hose, same packaging but also have same issue - they develop leaks very very quickly I would not buy one again.

OK... but isn't the reality of it that the I.D. of a 1/4" fitting (which by the way is the PIPE THREAD size of the fitting, not the inner size) roughly the same as that of a 3/8" air hose? Yes, it is.Then, take a look at the inside diameter of the standard AIR FITTING... pretty small, isn't it? Bottom line is this: For the very short time that the air is passing through the smaller diameter air fitting, the pressure drop across that fitting is negligible.

That's a good question. I don't really know, but I returned my second pocket hose today with no problem. I'm still waiting for my third pocket hose to spring a leak. Be sure you check out the over five hundred complaints on this pocket hose. I didn't. Good luck. P.S.,I got my money back today.

Hi Richard. Yes I only bought one of these hoses, but after the third use it came apart at the fitting that attaches to the water spigot. Was not impressed with it. When I have that kind of a failure soon after purchase I don't try it again. I won't purchase another. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

The line your looking at will work just fine as long as your not planning on moving it around and changing the fittings. It is a very stiff hose, if you plan on changing things from time to time I would say to go with a more flexable general purpose hose. That is what I use now because I work with hydroponics and change things often.

I had the DW6080 briefly. It leaked brown crap from the first go. No experience with other models, but was not impressed with what I thought was going to be a quality product.

I have the 50' GY, and it is a quality hose. I have also started using in the shop, the Kolbalt curled type hose, it is very flexible, even in cold weather, and has a Lifetime Warranty - under $15.00

Mine fit well, however the threads on the tap are a little tight. I have to use a wrench to tighten it from start to finish. so it's not too far fetched to think the threads going to your hose could be out of tolerance as well. I think the QC could be a little better on these things.
