Title: Fill up hose what do you use?
Post by: H2GoKent on June 23, 2013, 06:05:51 pm: Hi
At present i use a thick good quality petrol station type but it is wearing out.
What do you fellas use? Need about 15 metres. Ideally on a reel or roll so I can put it out of sight

Anyone use roll flat? What's it like and where from. Cheers

I use this stuff, seems quite robust. I just coil it up and hang it on a hook

i used to use the corigated swimming pool type hose but it just split in a thousand places after a couple of years, as it got very brittle in the winter.

Post by: gavinb on June 24, 2013, 08:31:05 pm: it is bob it is very good quality hose if you use a submersible pump like the one i purchased from toolstation all you have to do is hacksaw the small part of the outlet on the pump off and screw the hose straight onto it job done .

there are 2 types of hose they sell delivery or suction .

Post by: AuRavelling79 on June 25, 2013, 08:13:41 am: I have three IBC's. One on top the other and a third to the side. (Due to the way my garden slopes.

The top tank is high enough to feed my van by gravity and I use a 2" hose about 5 metres long. My bottom two tanks are pumped up to the van and I have a 10 metre 1" hose for that like the machine mart ones.

When not in use the 1" pipe coils up under my car port on the wall. The big one is like a python and generally stays attached to the tank and led on the floor but it can also be put on hooks too. (If it was 15 metres long I might consider "lay-flat")
