I'm being a noob. Help!

[Beccy]

My brain isn't working... My little one hasn't let me sleep for weeks and I can't figure out something really simple!

Someone ran over my pole hose and sliced it almost right through. I'm on WCW website and can't for the life of me find any to buy. Current pole hose is red and external diameter is around 6 or 7mm (measured with a ruler so not very technical!)

What should I be searching for? /emoticons/smile.png

Sorry, outside diameter is 8mm.

Just ring them up and explain what you need !

 

[johnny bravo]

you will need a 6 or 8mm barb to connect the 2 hoses togeather again.

pole hose or reel hose, theres a difference

 

[Beccy]

I've got connectors, just need the hose. I think the problem ous actually that WCW either didn't stock much or is out of stock. Gardiners has exactly what I'm looking for. Just need to order enough stuff to make it worth their delivery charges /emoticons/unsure.png

Why do you need more hose?

Use a connector and keep the same hose

 

[Tuffers]

Add a JG straight connector to connect the 2 pieces of hose. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Push-Fit-Air-Fittings-Genuine-John-Guest-6-8-10-12-15-Air-Water-Tube-Hose-BLACK-/321654645791?var=&hash=item4ae41c641f:m:mKwdQSTj4s8tJbfM5hKliow

Beccy says its her pole hose that has been damaged. The problem with joining it is that the join will get caught on the inside if the pole as she raises it.

The pole hose she has on her CLX is orange so could well be the same as Gardiner sells. Beccy already has what appears to be Microbore on a Claber hose reel.

A replacement brush and a couple of fitting will always go toward making the transport costs more bearable. I think Beccy lives in one of those far flung places that costs a lot more for transport costs of packages.

this is the only pole hose they sell its very good stuff

 

[Poles Apart]

This is the best pole hose I've had it's high pressure and works better with Aquadapters than Aquadapter hose. It's Sureclean.View attachment 5530

do u get the dreded twist @Poles Apart

 

[Beccy]

Pretty much what spruce said... I don't really want a connection as it's right in the middle of the pole hose so will probably catch when extending the pole. I won't lose anything by replacing the hose as I can cut the old one at the damaged part and I'll have 2 spares for my short pole /emoticons/smile.png

Yeah I'm in the highlands. Last time I went to order off Gardiners they were going to charge £17 postage for just one of these:

Haha, needless to say I didn't order!

Tench, that facelift hose was all I could find on WCW which is why I thought I was just being a Muppet! I felt sure they would carry more than that. It's the wrong diameter for all my taps and connections so I'll have to go with Gardiners.

Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions guys /emoticons/smile.png

Didn't understand the question on twist Tench? I use this Sureclean hose as my only hose I am backpack only.
