Title: extending the hose on my trolley and pole, adding another 20 metres possible?
Post by: Slippy on March 20, 2015, 06:32:30 am

I have a trolley with the pump on it.  If I add another 20 metres to the hose coming out of the pump so I could wheel my trolley out of the car to the front of the house then leave it there and just unreel all the hose if I want to go around the back of the house or wherever.  have the on off switch on the hose coming out of the pole as well so I could turn the water on/off from there and don't have to run back to the trolley for this.  Would this work?  I was worried if the hose was too long the pump wouldn't be strong enough to push the  water the extra length.

your pump should have no problem most of use 100mtrs of microbore

Is your pump a 100 psi as this pressure will work if its a 60/70 psi as I have it does effect the pressure at the pole head.

A lot of companies work with 100 metres of hose. 20 is no issue.

So what I am suggesting- pull the trolley out front of house then pull hose  from there would work?
