yer dump all the hoselocks and leave the heater off.

Hoselocks normally work ok under a bit of pressure but if you have any before the pump then my advice would be to ditch them.

Hi

Maybe you can get a 'Geka' claw fitting to work (not sure what your reel is). I am slowly replacing my brass hozelock fittings with these (space permitting) as I have had them on the back of my trailer for 8-9 months and have not had to replace a seal once. Hozelocks kept leaking with taking them on and off and it was really annoying. My mate pointed out that you can get hozelock style hose connection ones now (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hose-Connector-Geka-Style-Coupler-1-2-1414-/180825995786?pt=UK_Home_Garden_GardenEquipment_HandTools_SM&hash=item2a1a11ba0a). Found out about them originally through this forum with a search.

Thought it was the time to stop reading and start writing tonight (^_^).

Hope that helps anyhoo.


Simon.
