Highwater Xstream Hose.

I guess it was bound to happen, some of our esteemed competitors have woken up to the fact that our XSTREAM ™ hose is digging big holes in their sales figures. Unfortunately, instead of attempting to ‘beef’ up their offerings, they are trying to create flaws in ours. So, before you accept some of the bull being bandied about, here are some facts:

1. Xstream is a 1500PSI burst hose.
2. Xstream is very similar in weight to our competitors' premium offering.
3. Xstream, unlike its competitors, has a full 900 psi burst fire hose as its inner hose.
4. Xstream is a genuine 1 ¾” hose, not 2” to get round diabolical friction loss.
5. XStream genuinely has better friction loss than the competitor who is full of ‘bull’.
6. Xstream has much better kink resistance than equivalent hoses.
7. Xstream has a much better feel and will not slip through your gloves.
8. Xstream has better heat resistance.
9. Xstream is made in North America, and is NAFTA compliant.
10. Xstream is xstremely good value.
