The High-Quality Reinforced 6mm 100m Microbore Hose SuperTuff you described has the following specifications:
-
Outer Diameter: 11mm
-
Inner Diameter: 6.3mm
-
Usage: This 6mm reinforced hose is commonly used in water-fed pole window cleaning systems to transfer water from a tank to the cleaning pole. Having 100 meters of hose allows the user to keep the hose reel close to the tank, typically in a van, and easily unreel it around buildings.
-
Advantages:
- Lighter than 8mm hose: This hose is lighter and somewhat easier to handle than the more popular 8mm hose, making it more maneuverable.
- Higher Strain on Pumps: Due to its smaller inner diameter, 6mm hose exerts a higher constant pressure on the pumps, which may impact the performance of the system.
- Rated to 60 degrees: This hose is rated for use in temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius.
- Made in Europe: It is manufactured in Europe, which often implies a certain level of quality and adherence to safety standards.
This hose appears to be suitable for water-fed pole window cleaning systems where lightweight and maneuverability are important. However, as mentioned, it exerts higher pressure on the pumps, so it's essential to ensure that your system can handle this pressure. Always consider the specific requirements of your application before selecting a hose. If you have any doubts, it's a good idea to consult with the manufacturer or a specialist to ensure compatibility and performance.

Customer reviews
Fantastic product, wanted blue hose to go with the rest of my range, but other suppliers only sold in small amounts, very happy to find it as a 100mtr, also very well priced. Order came well packed the next day, so very pleased. Will use The Cleaning Warehouse again for my WFP needs. Great service, Thank you.

6 mm Hose 100 m SuperTuff Water Genie Blue Reinforced Hose — FAQs
1. What is this hose?
It’s a 100 m long, reinforced 6 mm microbore hose, designed mainly for water‑fed pole window cleaning systems to carry water from your tank, reel or pump to the pole.
2. What does “6 mm” refer to?
It refers to the inner diameter of the hose — approximately **6.3 mm — which affects water flow and pressure characteristics.
3. What is “reinforced”?
The hose has a reinforced outer structure, typically with internal yarn or braiding that makes it more durable, kink‑resistant and abrasion‑resistant than plain PVC hose.
4. What is it used for?
This hose is ideal for water‑fed window cleaning pole systems, letting you run long hose lengths (e.g., around buildings) without constantly relocating your water source.
5. Is this hose better than 8 mm hose?
6 mm hose is lighter and easier to handle and often fits more easily on electric or manual reels. However, its smaller inner bore means it places higher strain on pumps and can restrict flow compared with thicker hoses.
6. What material is the hose made from?
It’s made from reinforced PVC, which gives good flexibility and resistance to weather, abrasion and outdoor use typical of window cleaning work.
7. How flexible and easy to use is it?
Because of its smaller diameter and reinforcement, it’s relatively lightweight and flexible, making it easier to reel, uncoil and manage on site, especially on elevated work.
8. Can it handle different water temperatures?
Yes — this type of reinforced PVC hose is normally rated for use up to around 60 °C, so it’s safe for cold and moderately warm cleaning water.
9. Will it work with hose reels and guides?
Yes — its standard outer profile makes it compatible with most hose reels, guides and through‑floor pulley systems designed for water‑fed poles.
10. Is this suitable for professionals?
Yes — the length, reinforcement and flexibility make it a good choice for professional window cleaners as well as serious DIYers needing reliable hose performance.
