Title: Connector Problems
Post by: dannymack on September 11, 2013, 12:52:36 pm: I hear so much about rubbish connectors ect,ect
Has no one like myself not use a tennis ball or one of those small plastic balls you get in schools with all the holes in as they last ages. Thread hose thru them you will have to cut hole in tennis ball or make hole lil bigger in plastic ball for the hose to go thru which sits just below connector which stops them banging about on the floor. I use the orange plastic connectors from B&Q had no probs and last about 6 or more months !!!

i use these and they work fine! brought them from gardiners for £3 but went into the shop at the golf club near me to find out they sell a pack of 6 for £3??

? All u would have to do is drill a hole in them

When the bit of hose wears out after a 6 months or so, I cut 4 inches off and tie another knot.
