Hi
Hose arrived from Gardiners I ordered 8mm but they have sent 6mm.
I was in two minds what to order at the time but now I have the 6mm I am tempted to use it, especially as I'm sure it will be easier to ship the 6mm fittings out rather than send the reels back!
What are drawbacks / benefits of the smaller hose.
I read on here somewhere about increased pressure I am hoping to run two poles - the pump is a Brodex (re-labelled) Sureflo and the controller is a Varistream.
Thanks
Granny

Use less water. Lighter to pick up especially when full.

Go with microbore, much nicer to use.

More kinks.

Have used both and quite honestly initially my mini bore kinked more. When they are both used I can't tell the difference.

more strain on ya pump

Our pumps aren't even breaking a sweat.

Hi All
One thing I have discovered here is that whatever the topic there are some for and some against
Healthy debate and divided opinion is not a bad thing.
I have decided to go for the 6mm and give it a try.
Couldn't see the sense of them sending a courier to pick it up.
Just for info and I am not slagging off but
Gardiners received order Friday lunch delivered Monday.
Brodex received order April 1st (the date should have warned me!) arrived May 2nd !!!!
