Title: mini or microbore wth shurflo 100 psi ?
Post by: cybersye on February 01, 2010, 06:47:04 pm

Hi,
soon going to be replacing my 60 m microbore hose, going to order up 100 meters to give me more distance from van.
I've been happy with the microbore and its lasted 3+ years but others seem to prefer minibore as the flow is better ?
I use a shurfo 100 psi pump, will it run the same with an extra 40 meters of hose or would I be better going with minibore at that length ?

does anyone use wintecs own microbore as it seems the cheapest deal on a 100 meters I've found, is it of a good quality ?

thanks
Simon

Hi Simon.

The price for the 100ft microbore is, indeed, very low.

We use 100ft minibore from the fixed reels in the van with the 100psi 5.2lpm SHURflo. We're satisfied. But for the mobile reel I would probably prefer the 100ft microbore with the low weight instead of 60ft minibore we use now.

regards

Vadim

You mean metres not feet don't you Vadim?

Sorry Gold and mates. My fault. Of course, meters.

will 100 meters of microbore create much more back pressure than 60 meters ? will the flow still be ok with that pump ?
