Non kink hose
I'm having a hard time finding a non kink 6ft hose. Has anyone had any luck. I'm trying to avoid buying a larger one and cutting it thinking it will leak less if from manufactor.

I use it as the outflow for drain from flute. All the cheap ones kink, in part because the water is warm. I have a good hose going into flute, then there are 2 drain that I connect into one good hose.

I use the cheap reinforced vinyl hose at any hardware store. The stuff with the weaving in it.

Re: Non kink hose
I can't find any in the 6 ft range. Might have to just make one.

Could try PEX. It's tough stuff. A bit on the stiff side but once it warms up it softens up and once cool it holds its shape.

Lowes home depot and ace all sell the stuff by the foot.
I use stuff like pex. And I want to switch over to all pex. Using red for hot blue for cooling water and white for fresh supply water.
