Post by: LWC on October 29, 2014, 07:11:27 am: I get on just fine with my hot and microbore but i need to replace one of my reels...its seen better days!

hopefully itll last a good few years as it feels like quality hose. :)

Gardiners microbore is good stuff for cold water. I've just put a reel of Purefreedom Hi Viz 8mm on for the winter. Supposed to work up to 60 degrees. It seems very tough though not particularly flexible. I like the colour ;D

I had a boiler running with it all last year and year before I think it works really well. And if its TRUE the red stuff is bigger we would strugle to get a TRUE 100 Meters on our hoselocks. I was thinking about thermobore to and decided againts it
