Bulging hose
« on: July 16, 2008, 04:51:34 pm »
Has anyone ever had their hose bulge,i noticed today my 100m of 6mm microbore has started,seems like water has got in between the 2 layers,does it affect it at all?

Back pressure is what you`ve got,if your varistream is set wrong and the pumps not turning off soon enough it will put loads of stress on the microbore,this is the reason why most people have gone to 8mm minibore as it deals with pressure better.

Iv`e had the same set up for over 12 months with no changes the varistream is set right but it`s only today that it`s started to bulge and it`s in between the 2 layers there`s water trapped :-\

The layers have obviously separated that's all.

It's called wear and tear. (poss. from cars driving over it??)

Timed to buy another overpriced hose.

Yep that`s my thought,it`ll have to wait a few weeks now,my holidays are too near  ;)
