Links are bad.

Links are bad.
The work for me, but they probably don't work for you because they're both on the view cart page before I part with me money! :'(
-
link dont work, but the list looks good.
are you plumbing it all in yourself? if so get some of the reiinforced 1/2" hose from gardiners and some jubilee clips to connect the pumps to the tank and then to the reels.
-
Tosh, check out Gardiners new hose reels!!! I will be replacing mine with those when the time comes. No more 'snagging'
-
what lee said you dont want any nasty garden centre green or yellow hose ruining the look of your new system
-

that is what he has on his list.
-
Thanks Lee, that's helpful.
But what about connectors from the end of my microbore to my pole hose.
What are you trendy window cleaners using these days?
Also, do I need two filters for my shurflo pumps?
Kentkleen; I've ordered Gardiners new hose reels, but thanks mate.
-
sorry just realised! too many stella!!!
Easysnap!! or rectus 21 (same thing i think)
-
Lee/anyone,
How many meters of 1/2 inch hose will I need for a two man set up, approx? It'll be for from my tank to pumps to hose reels. Obviously I'll get more than what's required, but I don't want to order 20 meters when 10 will do.
Thanks in advance! ;D
-
10 will be plenty.Why not one pump and one controller?
-
depends tosh but you will have plenty to spare if you buy 5 metres its only about £1.25m or something
-
GARDENA hose (google it) excellent kit. 10m will more than do IMO
-
Luther says 10 but Cleancare says 5, only one way to find out..... ;D
-
10m is miles too much. You'll need about 1-2m I reckon.
What the heck have you been using up to now, Tosh?
Why did you ask this Q on a Friday night when Special brew is on offer at Bargain Booze?
-
Im off to get some !!!
-
Tosh, gardiners EZ snap connectors for th microbore to pole connectors, yes to pump filters, and if you are going to lift reels out of your van and put them on the floor you will need more than 1-2m.
-
you can help me fit my new van out when i get it kent lol
-
Luther says 10 but Cleancare says 5, only one way to find out..... ;D
I said 10 would be plenty! :D
Best to have too much than not enough,and some spare
-

-

-

We'd better make substantially more money for less physical effort after forking all this out. We could've had a really nice holiday for what we've spent!

my first system never had them and the pump is just fine. In fact i might just ditch the one I have on now as it doesn't do anything, I mean who much dirt can be in water that is already 000ppm ???
-
you need this, you guys:

What do you reckon?
-
Link just goes to website.
Tosh, try Halfords or Maplins. It's only a vehical type fuse you want. Don't fret. I don't even have a fused connection. Why would I?
Just ask the geek at the counter: how do I protect a 12v pump, d00d?
-
Cheers, Stephen; will do! ;D
