I RMA'd my flexzilla hose and found this shit coating the inside of it at both ends.
When I first moved into this house I had straight well water going out the garden house, and it was full of chunks. Last summer I installed an iron filter, and a whole house 5 micron filter.
Now my garden water is filtered, but the nozzles keep getting clogged. I think the shit inside the hose is loosening up.
How can I clean the inside of this hose? its 100ft.
mmm microplastics
It’s ok, they just shed nice a year as they outgrow their old skin.
you've got gross water and gross hose. consider moving
Try to burn it to understand if it's plastic. Maybe it's some kind of an algie?
Looks kind of like they forgot to remove the separator plastic from the mandril when they made that hose.
Get a food-safe hose, instead.

Garden gnomes are uscrewing and fucking your hose at night while you sleep; they good news is that they are using protection but the bad news is that they are leaving their used gnome condoms behind.
I'd use a big bucket and a cheap water pump to recirculate vinegar through it. Oughta clean any mineral deposits out real good
OP here, this isnt plastic.
it burns fast and smells like burnt hot dogs
the hose end thats closer to the nozzle has the thin layer that comes out. the other hose end thats closer to the faucet has larger lakes that taste of iron. this is definitely well water residue. the new hose is clean inside.
I get clean water directly out the faucet.
can I use a drill pump in a closed loop? what concentration of vinegar? I was thinking of also using simple green.
buy a new hose
Buy farm grade hose, shitcan that thing.
