Hi Rich,yes you can mate,i helped another CIU member yesterday set his up and it works fine,Gaz ;)
-
Hi Gaz , are there no differences at all in pressure of water ?
Does the pump struggle at all ?
And , how many metres of hose did you set it up with ?
Oh , and was it a flojet 60 psi ?
Like the red brush , i have a thong that colour ! :-*

Hi Rich,the water jetted out of the brush no problem using a 60psi shurflo and there was 60m of hose,
you`ll have to post a pic of yourself modelling that crazy red thong :P,Gaz

Hi rich I use 60 PSI no problem
-
Spot on my old fruit bat !
I will buy 100m , 60 for the van and some for the trolley .
For giving such a quick reply , you have just earned yourself a scantilly clad water fed pole dance , just stick a fiver in my thong and i will be a happy man.
See you in the morning , i'll be on your bonnet :-* ;D

I still cant belive i didnt do it sooner , im running 50m with my 60 psi flojet , i can say that i have noticed a drop in pressure though , others have had no pressure drop , so why am i getting it ?

I also noticed a pressure drop with the microbore and i also use a 60 psi flowjet.
I think a 100 psi pump would be better with microbore.
I think its excellent stuff but for first cleans i use my trusty tricloflex as i get a better flow but is heavy compared to microbore

I bought my microbore hose from Varitech 01752 263333
its 60p a metre and its very good hose.
I have found Varitech very good for all this kind of stuff.

Hi i use microbore with a 100psi pump works great i have to turn down pump to around half on the varistream since i started using this microbore pipe has made quite a reduction in my water usage also. ;D
