Title: Hot wash
Post by: paul ette on February 24, 2014, 05:58:31 pm: Hi finally got all my hot water working properly, but bit worried the hose that's used from boiler to reel is wrong, it is just normal hozelock flexi hose and gets red hot like its gonna melt, the system was already put together when I bought van, is there a special hose to use ?
And is Thermobore for reel worth buying?

Ok what hose do I need from boiler to reel?

1/2 radiator hose. Halfords sell it and most car places.

car radiator hose and heavy duty metal/brass connectors is what you need from boiler to hose reel.
