i am currently using a standard hosereel with hoselock fittings at the mo and
would like your opinions please.........

what is better, microbore or hoselock fittings??

Any thoughts 

[LWC]

Gotta say microbore all the way mate.

[daz34zler]

why is that mate?

[LWC]

Nice coupling, last longer, no leaks, just generally nice all round.

[daz34zler]

thanks for the info buddy. think i might go and sort that out.....

[DaveG]

Have to agree with LWC

microbore all the way - if you ever have a go back on the garden hose stuff you can notice the difference big time - heavy , snags more , connecters leak , pipe is less robust to.


you get more on a hose reel anyway

Do ppl still use 1/2" hose???

The difference is huge,.. leave the garden hose in the garden and get some mini or micro bore NOW!!

yeah sorry i do   Although im saving for the gardiners thermobore hose, and will be switching.

No point using normal micro/mini if it bursts with hot water, like ive read alot by other members.

forgot to say -1/2 inch all the way when cleaning UPVC , conseratory roofs , you need the higher flow rate .
Save Microbore just for the windows - Ive found out the hard way , when trying to use my microbore on a upvc  job and spent the whole day swearing as it takes ten times longer .
