6mm and the pump thats in back pack will work with 100m no probs but wont last as long cos its chepo ,flowjet is best pump cos its bilt for WFP unlike shor flow

the shurflo pumps are built for WFP systems.

Huh? I thought shurflo was best on the market

 

[daley]

no flow jets are best and u dont invalidate garente useing it for WFP

My two shureflows have been working now for over 5 years, well the older one has. They are fine for wfp but you do need a controller otherwise the tank would pump itself dry in no time.

Ordinary garden hose is no way strong enough IMO and it actually holds too much water inside it so it weighs a ton. The biggest problem though is any air accumulates at the top of each loop and the flow is not strong enough to pump it round the loops and out. So you get weird pressure variations. With microbore it pumps straight out no problem and its gone.

sorry you are wrong here, you can use shurflo for WFP and the guarantee is fine!

Daley is right as using 6mm nulls the warranty. 8mm is the best option as less strain on your pump

iv two dead shorflows and 3 dead back pack pumps dead ,

Can't speak for the warranty ins and out, but I've a shurflo had it over 3 yrs and use 5 mm petrol hose, but only between 30 and 50 meters, pump also has by pass, don't know if that helps?

worng, have had this back form shurflo head office about the warranty:-

there is nothing wrong in using 6mm or 8mm hose for it. the only thing that voilds the warranty is the fact on not having a shurflo strainer fitted onto the pumps to stop any particals getting into the pump.

Plus once you have a controller fitted to the pump it makes no diffrence to what size pipe you use anyway!
