Joanie, Do you mean the hose doesn't look new anymore or....... sorry,
couldn't resist. I have at times in the fall taken to pulling one end of the
hose into the laundry room and hooking it up to run hot water through it so I
can coil the whole thing back up for winter storage. I use about 400 feet of
hose, several lengths coupled together, to be able to reach most things from
my one and only spigot. I do leave it stretched out in the sun so it stays
malleable most of the time (Yes, I suspect this shortens its life but it
helps not to shorten mine!). I only then move it aside when I need to move.
