Hi finally got all my hot water working properly, but bit worried the hose that's used from boiler to reel is wrong, it is just normal hozelock flexi hose and gets red hot like its gonna melt, the system was already put together when I bought van, is there a special hose to use ?
And is Thermobore for reel worth buying?

1/2 radiator hose. Halfords sell it and most car places.

Don't no one use the hose that goes onto the washing machine for hot water as the connectors should screw straight on 👮👮👮😃

[dazmond]

i tried washing machine hose danny and it burst within a couple of days!hot water and steam all over the van!nightmare!!

car radiator hose and heavy duty metal/brass connectors is what you need from boiler to hose reel.

[LBWCS]

also adjust your dead end pressure to a lower setting as the hose will just expand and burst and wet van follows

[dannymack]

You work with boiling hot water so yes I know where your coming from.

You do make me laugh I can imaging you appearing behind a big puff of steam pmsl !!! 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
