Hi, I have the new 12' hose on my Lux Guardian Platinum. Spend the money. You will really like it. If memory serves me the maker is Flexible Technologies guys chime in if I am wrong. Brian |

Ya, I agree with Brian on this one - spend the money and just get the hose. I have a custom 10 ft electric hose for both my Grand Marquise and my Epic 6500SR, makes them a lot easier to use for certain jobs.
Just so you are aware Armand, it would not be possible to source the hose material and make it yourself though. Those Platinum and TriStar hoses that have the plastic ring built into the hose material where it goes into the handle are proprietary - you would need to transplant the plastic ring from your damaged hose to make new hose material work if you made one from scratch. That would be VERY tricky for the average person to do. Plus, even if you could, by the time you buy the hose material you're already coming close to the $200 for the 12 foot TriStar hose anyways. |
