Hi i have a alko ts 220 which has a 4 inch connection for house,is there anything that you can do to reduce the size of the hose?
i need approx 40 metres of hose and i had a look and found 10 metres for £145 plus vat and delivery.
Just wondering it theres a way of reducing this?at the moment i have a layflat hose on and fill barrels up that are next to the outside tank.
Take about 20 seconds each to fill.
Hope someone can help,cheers

Is the outlet on your pump a threaded fitting

No its just round i dont think its threaded
But will check it.

On my pump i have a threaded fitting which i got from local aquatics shop which is a conical shape which allows different sizes of hose to be attached .
I got a 30 meter coil of black hose from same shop for £48:00 outer diameter is about 2" .
If it is not just tape hose onto pump fitting then tape to your new coil of hose .
I have a wider 1 mtr piece of hose attached to my pump then just insert the smaller diameter hose into the larger and it works fine for me . Mike
