Most garden hose is 1/2" or 12 mm bore, I need some that's about 3/4" bore or so. Anyone any idea who stocks this, I need about 50 metres? Thanks.
Might be worth trying Hughes and Holmes again?

Possibly a garden centre that sells pond equipment, some of the external filters use large bore hose.
There is a place called "Hose Tech" in Wigan. Not sure if they would do this kind of stuff.
My old company BSS used to stock 1" reinforced stuff aswell. Think it came in 20m lengths for fitting to drainage pumps. Let me know if you don't find anything else Chris and I'll get you it at staff rate ie buttons!!:D

Have a look here http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/3-4in-heavy-duty-water-hose
You want to get it all in colour-coded bright red silicone with chromed connectors Chris! :innocent:
I sell heavy duty water hose to food factories (proper heavy duty, not machine mart heavy duty) but it's not cheap.
A 50 metre reinforced with poly inside & rubber outside would be in the region of £75.00 plus delivery.
Usually in yellow or black.
Advantages: very hard wearing.
Disadvantages: heavy and expensive.
PM me if you are interested and I'll sort out an exact price for you (I'm at home now).
But I'll understand if you don't !
Cheers Chris.
