Kuri Tec:

Whew! I can assure you that these allegations are brand new to us. We have sold many, many feet of the hose in various id's for use with Sodium Hypochlorite, TSP, Hydroflouric Acid, Oxalic Acid, degreasers, diluted IPA and many industry wide recipes for cleaning. Before bringing in any new product, we carefully research it to INSURE that it will endure the abuse and exceed the requirements of its intended use. We treat each of our customers as if down time cost them a minimum of $15K an hour like one of our customers.

We carry products that must withstand improper use, lack of care and extreme working conditions. The Kuri Tec hose is no exception.

This is the very first thread I have ever seen in which I have received complaints about the Kuri Tec other than a few runs of hose that had issues which were taken care of immediately and much to our customers suprise, we usually include gifts for the inconvenience. It is surprising to see these problems. We have customers that add more rigs to their business and ask for more Kuri Tec. Although all of us wish that hose would last forever, IT DOES NOT.

As distributor's, we never know what happens to our products once they leave our hands.  When we encounter issues, 95% percent of the time, the product can be autopsied to figure out what exactly happened.  

A piece of data 'appeared' to have been copied and pasted into this thread. As a distributor of Kuri Tec Hose, I found the pertinent data and copied it below. Please see the ACTUAL CHEMICAL COMPATIBILTY RATING.

Key: E=Excellent G=Good L=Limited U=Unsatisfactory C=Cautionary – =No Data

Sodium Hydroxide 10% E E E E E E E E E – G L

Sodium Hydroxide 35% E G E E E E E E E – L U

Sodium Hydroxide 50% G L – – – – – – – – – –

Sodium Hypochlorite E E E E E E E E E – U U  (THIS IS THE LOVE JUICE!!  SH is rated as EXCELLENT for use with this hose that we have sold to roof cleaners in our Roof Cleaners Corner.)

In the spirit of professionalism, customer service and search engine visiblity, we ask that you please discontinue your vindictive efforts to attack PWP by posting  instead of emailing or PMing. 

We love our RCIA family!  Please...keep it clean and keep it friendly and try not to scare away the newbies.
