I need to buy a new garden hose for our strata car wash bay. Something around 50 feet. Because it's heavily used and abused, I'm looking for something that will hopefully last as long as possible, but not so heavy and rigid that it can't be rolled up into the hose reel. The current hose lasted about 9 months, kinked a lot, and finally cracked and split open.

Maybe instead of running a rubber hose, I could try one of those flexible metal ones? Never tried one before.

There are some brands like Flexi Hose on Amazon that have thousands of reviews and rated 4 stars, but always thought those were made for TV brands that were crap

Maybe someone here has a suggestion?
