Hi all.
I produce my pure 15 meter’s away from the van and pump it to the van via a 19mm rubber heater hose. 350 tank in van takes 15 minutes to fill. 13mm hose used to take over 40 minutes but would sit nicely out of the way on a reel.
The 19mm I could coil up by hand and put it out of the way/sight.
However the cold weather is now preventing this as it’s become non compliant 😁
Really don’t want to go back to 13mm and wondered what you use.
Thanks in advance

I use 1 inch hose internal diameter similar to reel hose just bigger from garage to van about 30 ft and a clarke transfer pump so 10-15 mins to fill a 600L tank.

Just use the pond hose it comes in a variety of sizes 50mm is good it’s only plastic with wire reinforcement but relatively cheap and will do what you want very well regardless of temperature

I use 50mm UPVC ribbed tranfer hose, fills my 500 litre tank in a couple of minutes.

My tanks around 25 metres from my van and its filled in minutes, use s 25mm hose for it.

10 metres for me. I use 1.25"/30mm. Which can be gravity or pump fed depending which tank I draw from.
Good mix of volume and not too bulky.

How are you guys storing the hose?
15 metres of 1/2 on a reel, no problem
15 metres of 3/4 I haven’t found a solution to store it.

I have 12m of 1 inch hose in the garage, I just coil it in a stack of loops and it goes on the floor next to my tank and RO system.

I have about 10 metres of 2 inch hose, I just roll it up (coil memory) and slam it on top of my IBC tank.
