    Hi there
    I hope someone can help me, i recently purchased a 1000 ltr water tank and need to source a hose for distributing water in a cattle shed, i have a plastic fitting which works on a half inch pipe but its very slow. Im looking to get a 50 mtr 2 inch hose and fittings to match...any ideas???smile.gif

    As a rule of thumb, if you double the diameter of hose then you will get 4 times the flow-rate.
    You could also raise the height of the tank. If you increase the height off the ground by 4 times, then you will get twice the flow-rate.(For the same pipe size)

    Also, you can get the IBC fittings here;

    Hope this helps.

    I have found ebay to me much cheaper than donedeal for ICB fittings in the past.
