  1. Good point. I think that a 19mm hose allows sufficient flow out of the tank once it is filled, but I do take the precaution of only putting 3 inches of the hose in the filler hole so any pressure can push it out easily. I wouldn't have minded having a cautious go on a fire hose water point - sounds exciting.
  2. Excellent - I knew that there must be other people doing it. As you say 20mins is usually enough. You definitely should try it. Our tank is a similar size and with our old hose I often gave up before it was full.
  3. It is surprising how often you can get within 5m of the tap if you are determined - only had to get the long back up hose out 3 or 4 times. Garden rather than food grade but we only use the water for washing. Should I be worried? A much less dull solution! Would you also tie yourself to the tap with elastic and grease the towpath to give it the full It’s a Knockout feel? (I would)
  4. I have always been frustrated by how long it takes to fill our water tank. Part of the problem seems to have been the hose. Like many others I see at water points I was using a standard 1/2 inch hose on a 30m reel. However in the last couple of seasons I have been trying a short (5m), 3/4 inch diameter hose. The difference seems to be significant - perhaps cutting our fill time by 3 times. Sorry if this is obvious or has been covered loads of times but I don’t see many others using short fat hoses. Is this a useful thing or am I just fooling myself?

    2LW heat

    Hi all I took some photos of our 2LW with a thermal camera. I think the results are as you would expect - but sort of interesting - so I thought I would share a couple…
