Wash down hose

Location
cumbria
My electrician sorted me out with something called conduit hose. Must have had it 4 years now and yet to shorten it.

Tricoflex seems to have got pricey as I had an idea of buying a length long enough to make washing the calf sheds quicker.
Was too much for me.

Any skellerup pipe suppliers in the UK.
My existing wash down hose has way too many hose swivels in now after multiple bursts over time, looking for something better.

give Paul Williams a ring -07847 532297 we had a pipe off him a few years ago now and it’s still as good as new and cheap!
PumpPaul? I’ll try him as wash down hose is a mine field, had yellow tricoflex, life in weeks, green hose, slightly better, but delaminates and then bursts, got some blue but it may last forever but, it won’t bend ,

yep that’s the one. I find him pretty competitive on everything.Saved me a fortune buying taps from him. Think they’re about1/4 of the price of plason taps

How are you all joining hose to pump/pipework from pump?
I've tried using compression fittings but the water gets into the outer skin of hose and bursts there, are stepped hose tails the only way?
