Hi Rich,yes you can mate,i helped another CIU member yesterday set his up and it works fine,Gaz

« **Reply #2 on:** April 06, 2006, 05:39:58 pm »

Hi Gaz , are there no differences at all in pressure of water ?
Does the pump struggle at all ?
And , how many metres of hose did you set it up with ?
Oh , and was it a flojet 60 psi ?

Like the red brush , i have a thong that colour !

Hi Rich,the water jetted out of the brush no problem using a 60psi shurflo and there was 60m of hose,

I run 100m of microbore with 60psi shurflo, will still jet out of the brush at 30ft, have also used 50m of standard hose running to 100m microbore upto about 25ft still with no flow probs.

Well im all changed over now , microbore is the only way to go , i could not beieve how managable this stuff is !
I still cant belive i didnt do it sooner , im running 50m with my 60 psi flojet , i can say that i have noticed a drop in pressure though , others have had no pressure drop , so why am i getting it ?

I also noticed a pressure drop with the microbore and i also use a 60 psi flowjet.

I think a 100 psi pump would be better with microbore.

I think its excellent stuff but for first cleans i use my trusty tricloflex as i get a better flow but is heavy compared to microbore

I bought my microbore hose from Varitech 01752 263333
its 60p a metre and its very good hose.
I have found Varitech very good for all this kind of stuff.

Hi i use microbore with a 100psi pump works great i have to turn down pump to around half on the varistream since i started using this microbore pipe has made quite a reduction in my water usage also.
