It was a facetious comment. Ignore it if you don't know what it means.
You originally said you were thinking of using EPDM hose. It is available unbraided and in such form has many uses. As I said previously, you made no mention of overbraiding.

not sure what this means but it sound like you are short of work if you have the time to write it. if you have any relevant comments please post them
well I thought it was quite clear, you came asking for advice and I gave you a very reasonable solution. There was no need for your ill mannered reply. If you havent heard of the sausage skin trick then clearly your some kind of cowboy. I suggest you get some proper training.
Right I need a hangover cure.....mmmmm....sausages
Wow, you're seriously lacking in a sense of humour aren't you...DIA's suggestion of barrier pipe is a very valid one, it's properly approved for the job and is flexible so it should suit your situation. It'll also be less prone to airlocking than a hose that's naturally quite floppy and will inevitably rise and fall a bit.
think you will find my esteemed colleges from the C.C where pointing out plastic barrier pipe will do the job with less joints ideally just 1 either end coming from isolation valves of course and connecting to your final point hose pipe is for the garden vermin damage/ eventually will perish so my advise is listen to good advice already given and take it
oph i say would very dangerous and buy a pair wellies and a wet suit in anticipation cos without doubt if you use "hose pipe" it will leak.
I think that what confuses me is that most DIYers want to look professional. Also they want to sell their homes at some point. Can you imagine what a surveyor would say? What about the embarrassment of having to call in a plumber to make it all work or fix a leak? I'm sure he will be polite but could you stand the patronising remarks?
