Yeah its true, twice now in six years a hose man got knocked down. Why you ask? Because they were HOSE HUGGERS.

Couple days ago i was pumping a floor at a pretty good clip, useing my 5-3 reducing hose as usual. I don't know if i was in the process of a long blink but next thing i know bamm the hose handler was on his side in the mud,and yes he was the boss. Shit Fxxx! you know the process. Oh well he was ok but wow, it brings a pumper back to reality.

Moral of the story: It is far better to hold the hose with your arms away from your body than to hug it...

Pump safe.

They were called klingons in my day

I hate when guys do that on floors.  Thankfully I got most guys I pump for to swing the hose back and fourth to knock out a 4ft pass.  Makes everyones job easier.   Its almsot like there dancing with it. 

5-3 reducing hose is about 13 foot of reduction so it rarely plugs

I love my reducing hose but as far as wall walkers and pumping fast its scary. I'm considering trying a water wash and reducing down to a three but what a pain in the ass if or when you get plugged and have to take two heavy reducers off and on. I don't know how guys deal with heavy reducers for clean out with out water washing. 
Three jobs yesterday or four with the line pump didn't run it though, drove almost three hundred miles. Up North pumping jobs are spread out! 

I guess i should clarify my water wash i mean "suck a bucket". If that works.

What is a "Pinn Poor"

5-3 are bad news might as well have a double 90 or metel on end hose plug to quick cant turn pump offf that fast
