[QUOTE="Guest, post: 208803"] GD@ that is very good information thanks digger. There is one thing I would like to point out to the new chum if you do buy the Chinese rubber backed fire hose it will more than likely look like a soaker hose under pressure. I got a few rolls of 2 stuff a while back and that is what it looked like they told me it is made that way so it would not burn in a fire? Who knows but it sounded good at the time. LOL. If I am pumping distance {anything over 100 meters} from the 1 inch outlet on the pump I run 2 inch reducing down to 1 inch this cuts down the friction loss. Even on my little Oleo two stroke I run 1 inch I never use the one inch hose there is just too much friction loss, you can buy a step up connector from one inch to one and a half inch from any irrigation shop for a few bucks. Tathradj you got a good eye mate, and your quite right in what you say. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/6236/1448511800_thumb.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
