    wanted layflat 38 mm

    Hi Dirtybob Stuffed up my own description ... should read female on pump and male on Highbanker. I don't think putting a 2" suction hose will achieve a great deal because as you say the pump inlet is still small. You will have no problems supplying enough water to a 8" to 10" highbanker with...

    Forgot to say...I have a male and female fitting on each length of layflat. The highbanker has a male fitting (the pump outlet is female). The suction hose is female which mates to the male fitting on the pump inlet. The converters allow me to use my friends pump on my highbanker and my pump...

    A theory of where gold came from

    I also believe in the theory put forward by Ditherer & Son, most of the gold on earth is sitting about 6000 kms below us, we are just picking at the scraps.

    Pumps for a Highbanker - information and questions

    I have a 2.5 HP 1.5 inch pump and it runs my HB really well. Stayed with 1.5 inch as my other pump is a 6.5 HP but at 30kgs is not easily portable but all the existing hoses and cam locks will fit both. For $200 you cant go wrong, just use quality oil, change it after run in and check regularly.
