Title: Pole hose
Post by: dai on February 24, 2007, 08:50:41 pm

I am looking for a new pole hose, It has to be flexible enough to stop the flow by folding the hose. It also has to be take the full pump pressure without bursting.
I run the hose outside the pole. Any recommendations? Dai

This is what I use dai, 23 mtrs, nice and supple and quite a few connector bits and pieces thrown in for £7. Fits in the push connectors a treat.

I use that 5mm clear pipe, but thats for inside the pole. You can get it from B&Q, costs about £1.50 a meter.


You can also get little packs of fittings too.

I found B&Q a bit stiff but maybe that suits in the pole supplies, I prefered Pvc/vinyl for suppleness. Now using incredibly bendy silicon pipe. Stays supple in the deep freeze.
