Post by: ben M on December 13, 2013, 06:39:01 pm

which hose reel do you use with thermobore 100m 8mm gardiner?
I use that one but not impressed: http://www.wintecs.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=128_61&products_id=421

Ben,

I've gone from lugging them in & out to fixing them down, made a shelf and now NO bending over, lad's are loving it, takes a bit of getting use to as it means we now have to change some of the parking up positions, but saves all the lugging in and out.

This is what I went to. Doesn't take 100m of Mini-bore, once I get the heater running, we might be switching to micro-bore which we think will fit.

Not on topic but how hot do you hot users have the heat as I have never used any thermo type hose and never had any probs but then i don't have the heat blasting out .

Ben here's a pic of my 8mm thermo the new red hose from Gardiners. Mines bolted down

Wightsurf I don't have mine piping hot only warm
But I find and have tested that the thermo hose holds the heat in more and at the end of the day don't have to have gas up as much as you would therefore would save £'s on changing gas bottles as quickly ? 👳👳👳

Wightsurf I found it alot better with the thermo holding the heat, I've now got the 8mm red hose thermo off Gardiners. I will go back to the normal yellow 8mm hose in summer when I stop using the hot wash as only use it in winter m8. Worth getting think it was around £70 worth it.  👳👳👳
