How long will a typical jetter hose last? Answering that is like trying to estimate the length of a string.“A hose is meant to be a consumable — it’s not going to last forever,” says Bernie Hengels, a marketing official at United Environmental Manufacturing Supply Inc./Hose and Televising (UEMSI/HTV), a national distributor of jetter hoses. “We always say it’s like a set of tires in a car. A teenager can ruin a set of tires in one night, just as an operator who improperly uses a hose can tear one up in just a day.”Bob Glick, product specialist at Piranha Hose
