I’ve just looked at the Sweepy video and noticed the hose being used is rather more flexible than mine.

Does anyone recognise it (good luck) or know where I can get really flexible hose like that, please?

I’m in the UK.

Thank you :+1:

There are some hoses linked at:

Not sure about UK availability though.

I actually find an overly flexible hose a problem — usually just strategically routing a hose (I’m expedient and just put it through some bungie cords looped from the ceiling) works well. Some folks engineer mechanical arms, and a couple of folks have used spring mechanisms intended for managing the cord of an iron.

Bungees? What a great idea!

I’ll give that a go before I over-engineer everything :+1:

Thanks, Will.
