Hi everyone.

Just a couple of quick questions regarding this hose,

I have seen the yellow and blue microbore hose from cleantech, gardiners etc... but i also have seen the clear stuff and they too advertise it as microbore, but it does not seem reinforced,

is the clear stuff we use for up the poles , microbore? too,

also i ask for microbore in aqua shops, garden centres etc and the always lead me to the clear silicone stuff that does not kink, i presume thats the stuff for up the pole,

as you can gather i have yet to set this van mount system up yet,

so a bit confused here, and if microbore is the yellow stuff, why are we restricted to buying it over the internet as i have never seen it in any shops nor do they seem to know what i am talking about.

Cheers for any help.

Gary.

If I was you I would go into your local Pirtek. Great advice and they can get every type of hose going.
Lets just say I got 100 metres of microbore much cheaper than I have seen advertised online and they fitted it to my hose reel too.

I dont want to drop the guy in it at Pirtek but it was under £50. Quite a bit under

Are Pirtek just a local outlet or are they National?

nel. I live in the Northwest of England.

I would imagine they are national as there was or maybe still is one in Inverness, Highlands

Hi again , thanks for your replies, pirtek is national, if you click on the website then on the link for your nearest town.

Tony when you say you dont want to drop the guy in it,... are you meaning it was cheap for YOU,. that day.

Pirtek vary the levels of discount depending upon the customer. I have dealt with my local Pirtek through another job for over 10 years on and off. The microbore  in the cleantech link is what I got. 100 metres for £40 + VAT. I think you will struggle to beat that anywhere.

Mine is beige coloured, I bought it from Varitech and its still like new after 15 months. I have little chromed brass push connectors on it and its the biz.

The reason I went to microbore was because I was having trouble with airlocks and that has been solved. With "full size" hose the water doesn't travel down the hose quick enough to push the air out.

Hi ,

i went to pirtek today, they said they never heard of it, but each branch is a franchise and stock the main pirtek range, but otherv stores may differ, he said if i could find where you got it from , he can simply order me some, but the same old story again...

nobody away from a few internet sites has ever heard of microbore... is there another name for it, is it a air hose or something, someone on here must know why its restricted to internet sites .

cheers lads.

[Spursboy1972]

It is air hose. If you like I will get you the Pirtek product code. I have to call in there anyway.

[geefree]

that will be great tony thanks.

i

[geefree]

so do you all buy from usual internet places, as its air hose does anyone know of any other supplier or another name for it as most companies have never heard of microbore. 

cheers
