Hoses in Bundy

ozjohn · Guru

The food grade water hose you'll be able to get from Bunnings or an Industrial Trade supplier. They'll be a lot cheaper than an RV accessory outlet.
You maybe able to get the smooth bore sullage hose from Bunnings, but I doubt it.
An Indutrial Hose supplier or RV accessory outlet would probably be the best option.
Best of Luck, and don't forget the Bundy Distillery tour. "Hic"

Thanks oxjohn. Are you sure about the water hose at Bunnings - when I bought the one I've got I tried Bunnings (Canberra) and they didn't stock them? But then I guess that not all Bunnings's have the same stock. I've done the Bundy rum tour before - but I don't believe that there's a rule that says that I can't do it again so yup, I'll be lining up for that one.

A nice tot of rum in this weather would go down well I reckon.

We got our water hose from bunnings and also the smooth centre sullage hose as well.

Like you said maybe all Bunnings outlets don't carry the same stock but all you can do is sus it out.

I have seen drinking grade water hose at bunnings Rothwell (Northern Brisbane). Not sure about Bundaberg, but I would have a look there...

I purchased a 20mtr water hose yesterday in Bunnings in Canberra. $32. Also had 10mtr ones about $20. You must have struck a rush for them.

Defintely can get those hoses at Bunnings. I got mine here in Echuca, so Bundy will have the same. Bunnings is on the same side of the main road as the airport going into town, just past a club, can't remember its name but they share the same carpark.

I use a length of diverter hose for my sullage. It's meant for diverting washing machine waste out onto the garden. I don't think it's smooth bore but I wash it out with a bit of bleach solution and squirt the hose down it before storing in a Hosebag on the front drawbar.

A hint with the water hose is to cut the length into two lengths in a one third/two thirds ratio approx, this gives one the option of three different lengths of hose

If there is a Clarke Rubber there they stock both hoses and will cut to lenght.

The heading," hoses in bundy" had a vision of just that, a long hoses in a tub of bundy and people laying in the sun. sucking on the bundy.. MMMM.. just a smile....good luck with the hoses, we use the crincle stuff for wast, like jimricho said wash it before you stow it, its that cheap you can replace it after each trip.. just dont take it home after the last camp....

If you can store your sullage hoses without having to coil them, the best by far are the ones that are smooth on the inside & out. So easy to clean in & out.

I store mine in 40mm conduit under the van. Others use bazookas across the van or motorhome. They are easily joined with small sections of smaller conduit.

A quick and convenient (but more expensive) space saving idea for the water hose is a "Flatout" one. http://www.flatoutaust.com/

However don't fall for the "Flatout" sullage hose. I must have had "sucker" stamped on my forehead the day I bought that. I've since stripped the hose off the reel and now use it to store my power cord. The hose is cluttering up a shelf in the garage and is destined for the whiz bin.

Ther's not much chance of "Hic" on their ration, one nip per entry!!

Thanks for all your input - and I love your imagery of the hoses into the Bundy vats!

Bunnings it is for my first stop and if I can't get what I want there I'll look further afield. Incidentally ChiChi1 I was in Bunnings at Belconnen and when I asked they said they don't stock them. Perhaps they've had a change of heart.

PeterD I think the 'Hic' comes from the purchases at the Bundy factory rather than the free samples.
