Title: Unkinkable hose
Post by: Sir Squeaky on September 27, 2010, 05:03:20 pm
I bought a new hose yesterday for tank to tank transfer.

It's unkinkable and guaranteed not to for 20 years! £30. Result I reckon.
You don't get a reel, so it's quite pricey, but I had one from the last hose anyway.

I bought the previous hose a couple of months ago and it took about 45 minutes to fill my tank.
However, after a few weeks it had so many kinks and twists that it was taking nearly 3 hours to fill it! >:(
It's flying through this new one, and should continue to!

No reason for this post really, just wanted to tell people because I was so pleased! ;D

Is it three quarter bore?

My hose is always kinking. I repair it with splints made from hose and tape to restraighten it.

Garden centre near Cardiff, but it's hozelock, so should be available anywhere. It's their top one.

Oh here you go...I was ripped off!

yes it is good squeaky, I used it for a while as my main hose from the reel. until it was pointed out it should be bright yellow. but again it does a good job I have 50m in my garage I think that was £30 for 50m from B&Q

This is garden hose and it's not guaranteed not to kink, in other words rubbish.

I thought you'd found a transfer hose.

No its not, but if you want a good !/2 inch hose it is very good, I have no use for mine except in the garden, but if it suits squeaky's set up then good for him.

Yes it is, what do you know?
I checked on the guarantee in the store. And if by transfer you mean tank to tank, then yes, I did say that... ::)
