Yep this is exactly what I found out yesterday when trying to test the pressure using a gauge. The hose fittings and subsequent washer/lance fittings are bigger than the standard m22 fittings.

I had to swap my entire hose over but had a leak near the lance. You may need a new lance along with a hose. By the time you incur all those costs the value is negated.

Lowes sells their Blue Hawk branded hose, which I believe is the same as the Simpson. It looks and feels the same and has the same MorFlex technology. The downside is that it is 40' instead of 50'. But, it is available in store, albeit slightly more expensive.

Shop Blue Hawk 5/16-in x 40-ft Pressure Washer Hose at Lowes.com

This is my set up.

Closer look

Nice! Our trigger setup is very similar! And I love the hose reel. This is the one thing I'm missing...storage for the pw hose. Is that a 50' hose or is it longer? Also, do you have another hose coming out of the reel to connect it to the SunJoe, or do you unwind the whole thing and remove it from the reel to use it?

It's the 50' 3/8 Northerntool hose. Yes, I unwind the whole thing. The reel is just for storage.

That's weird, CaveRacing and I have no problem seeing the pictures.

Strange...I couldn't see them on my phone through Tapatalk or the AGO app, but when I got to work I could see them on my desktop just fine. Bizarre.

Whats the point of the pressure gauge?

Just curious as rated PSI for most machines is measured at the tip of the nozzles. Meaning, if you put the tip of the nozzle right on the surface to be cleaned, you'd get XXXX PSI of pressure.

Compression is still happening in the lance and tip (at least if the tip has a smaller diameter orifice than the wand). Measurements at the hose connection port are somewhat inconsequential as the fitting diameter, hose diameter, wand diameter and taper and the selected nozzle can all still affect the final PSI rating.
