Minibore or microbore

[Greener]

What would you suggest is best Minibore or Microbore hose on the reel?

8mm microbore

I use 8mm microbore as I find a long length of 6mm minibore puts a lot of strain on the pump.

I find my 8 mm hose dosent kink mind i ve only had it 6 months . My 6 mm on my trolley kinks quite easy but I've had that 2 yrs

Just for the record folks; microbore is 6mm and minibore is 8mm /emoticons/tongue.png

I've had 6mm for a couple of years now no probs with pump. Prefer it as it's less weight to drag around /emoticons/smile.png

Oops. Changed it. You knew what I meant :zzz::blush:

100m of Microbore for me.

My pump is 4 years old and still going strong. I don't think it puts too much strain on a pump.

I found the minibore too awkward, while the minibore fits my trolley reel much better. But then everybody has their own preferences.

100 mtrs 8mm for me with no problems.

Cheers boys, I have read that the 8mm minibore gives a higher flow rate than the 6mm microbore ie you will use more water?

Your water use depends on your flow controller. Turn it down for less, up for more.
