Kinky

 Can anyone explain why, when I roll out the hose on my jet washer, it always kinks?


It's on a reel and, as I unwind it by pulling on the reel, it should not, theoretically, kink. However, move toward the reel end with the hose and kinks start to form. 

The strange thing is that the kinks are, in sequence, in opposing directions, resulting in net zero kinks when you try to unravel them. I turn the jet spray one was by 180 degrees to unkink one kink, and then the other way 180 degrees to unkink the next kink, etc, etc - never a full 360 degrees.

It makes no sense.

Hose 'coil'memory? Try leaving it charged and run out in a straight line for at least 24hrs.(preferably in hot wx)
