Stop using hose with the spring in it. You can buy GOOD hoses that will last for years. Go to NAPA and ask for fleetflex gold hose. You buy it by the foot, up to 3' sections.
1.5" is part number 632 and has a 100psi working pressure.
1.75" is part number 634 and has a 75 psi working pressure. Eric

Had the same problem when I was running the gates green striped hoses. The spring came out of 4 hoses and I just kept taking them back. I got a off brand one hose from autozone I think that had a spring in it as well and never had another problem with it.
