thanks, 8 mm is minibore though is'nt it ? I use 60 meters of micro but am looking to replace soon with 100 meters, need to know whether to get 6 mm or 8 mm

im not sure as my hose is called flexibore which is very strong and lasts longer.
most people on here advise to go with 8mm

 That pump is more than capable of dealing with that amount of hose. I regularly use all 100m of my 8mm microbore,

(Even the 40psi backpack can pump through that hose reel with ease even on setting one. For windows around 35foot i'd use setting two.)

My pump is a flojet but its 100 psi.
It works fine with 6mm or 8mm.  Obviously a lesser flow than half inch hose but certainly enough

Minibore/micro bore makes no difference.. make sure you check whether its 6 or 8 mm, as the name varies.

for people who dont know 8mm is mini bore and 6mm is micro bore

Iv`e always used 100m of 6mm microbore with a 100psi shurflo and a mk2 varistream never had any probs

[pureh20]

Yes, for people who don't know better lol 


Microbore is used as a trademark by some suppliers.


Streamline, for example, sell 6mm AND 8mm microbore... check out this picture:





So before buying any hose, check whether the ID of the hose is 6mm or 8mm.

I have 2 hoses one qt 100 metres and I shortened one to 70 metres.

[cybersye]

thanks for the replies, a bit round the houses but we've got there lol 
think I'll stick with micro (I use 60 meters) and replace with 100 meters, its a bit cheaper than mini.
Is there much difference between suppliers and brands as I notice wintecs have there own brand and thats working out cheapest for 100 meters, can anyone recommend it ?

You'll get what you pay for.. the Streamline brand hose has a hard core and is less likely to bulge and split apart. 

The cheaper hoses will do this more quickly.

Remember, 8mm can be called mini or micro bore so don't get mixed up!

100M with 100 PSI punp is OK, but I tried 160M once and had very poor flow. Not for a big job just to reduce the hassle of reversing the trailer system.
