I purchased 1/4 inch split cable wrap from Amazon and use it on a 50 foot hose (which is supposed to be non kinking). It takes a little time and effort to get it on the hose but once it is on I have no kinks or knots. Here is a photo. I will never use a plain hose again. Once in awhile I give it a shake if the coils seem to get too tight and I’m good to go again. Hope this is something you can try. I tried to show the wrapped hose but only allowed to up load one photo.
