Blue garden hose pipe 1/2"

[nigelmercier]

Some time ago I bought 20m of 13mm-bore garden hose pipe in blue. I only needed 10m so I cut it in half. Now I need 20m, and I can't find the other bit.

Any ideas where I can get some?

Amazon, £40 for 30m.

I think the point of 'blue' is that it is suitable for potable water?

So, by definition not garden hose.

Get a flat hose, it is so easy to stow !

I could sell you a 30m coil of food quality 12.5mm for less than £30 inc VAT Have loads as I use it all the time.

BUT ... he says he wants BLUE garden hose!

(I have to agree that my 20year old BLUE garden hose is by far the nicest to handle.......amongst an assortment of other colour hoses )

We got 13mm blue garden hose a few weeks ago in Aldi or Lidl - I can't remember which, they're both selling garden items this time of year.

No, it just looks nice for a boat. Green is definitely out, and I don't like yellow. White would be OK, but ££££££££££

Not food quality, but OK for filling up & general use I guess, not suitable for internal plumbing though.

I doubt the taps at the marina are food quality. No, not for internal plumbing - are you connecting this to my question about Whale Quick Connect; they are not related.

Had an idea. I use an in-line stop valve on my hose, and occasionally it bulges and blows out of the hose fitting. I put a bit of heat-shrink over the end of the hose before connecting, I will report back if it helps.
