How hot is the water? Normal minibore should cope with hot OK. With thermobore hose the outer diameter is greater (hose wall is thicker), so I would imagine it is more of a pain to drag round and you won't be able to get as much on your reel.

Sorry that's obviously the standard CIU reply!

Yes is the reasoned answer.

Simple !, the clue is in the term "sausaged",no need for a replacement.

You need to blow on your hose,just like you would on a hot sausage. If you get an AC/DC converter you could buy an electric fan(cheaper now than in summer),run it off the battery and stand it next to your reel and this will blow on it for you as the hose is reeled out.
