Just run a hard pipe to your supply. 21/2-3” will allow you to fill just as fast. Bury it 8-12” under and leave the end sticking out at the pond. (Underground guy here) hire me and I’ll do it 🤣🤣
See if a bicycle inner tube repair kit will fix the holes thats used to working on flat tubes. Get some zip ties and suspend the hose where possible in the trees. Out of sight out of mind for the critters.
Two solutions: 1. Bury the pipe 6" - 1' below ground. 2. Try PEX pipe. Its used for residential and is gaining popularity. Its not crazy expensive, only thing is you would need to run multiple parallel lines to get enough water there due to the limited size range of the pipe. This line can be buried very easily as well.
Hey Bob! If I was closer I would give you some of our firehouse. If you have any wildland fire departments near by, see if they have any cotton jacket house they would let you have to replace that hose.
I do the same think in the park city Kansas area and PVC pipe works just as good that’s what we use I know it’s expensive but you will never have that problem again it’s field mice that tear the hose up
I know it's more expensive but go with the black pipe line. a lot of farmers use it for getting water to their cattle in the southern Black hills of SD.
Love the videos. Can’t believe season is already back! Like you said juvies had an amazing hatch once again. I bet you’ll see thousands of birds arrive in Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and other places. Can’t wait!
The big hole is close to the end of the hose. Take that section and make it the very last piece that flows into the pond. Also consider buying that black plastic drainage pipe and running the hose through it in the sections where critters are making holes.
Its not super cheap but you could get tile that farmers use for drainage and run the water hoses through it. The tile is plastic and should stop the critters from clawing it too much.
Barbara hose fittings and then get yourself a roll of 4 inch drain tile And run the hose through that that’s what I had to do works pretty good and then trap the muskrats
Section that hose put a small pc of solid pipe inside it and use a few hose clamps around it should work for the season
@newfiehunter709 , I got in here just to comment the same thing. Screw buying a new hose
Bobby, just invest in some black corregated drain pipe and run your discharge hose inside of it, cost effective in the long run over replacing hose.
Barbed coupling and hose clamps check the irrigation section at you local fleet farm
FLEX TAPE review baby!!!!
Where is your dog, Judge?
Home he doesn’t work his dogs every hunt even though he kicks himself for not bringing them.
I’ve repaired that same blue hose with a piece of pvc pipe and a couple of hose clamps . $10
Flex Tape, Duck Tape Gorilla Tape, and if that doesn't work more duck tape lol
Try flex seal tape! You can tape while wet turn the pump on and tape it
Barb type coupling with some band clamps. And on the bad section put some bigger pvc over bad section
Hose repair = piece of right sized pipe and 2 hose clamps! Bait it with peanut butter poison. SCREW THE TAPE!
Flex tape will patch it enough to keep it running
Flex tape Bob
Like the idea of running that problem section through some form of hard conduit to protect it

Why don’t you replace that section and run the new hose through some PVC piping
Use PVC pipe local Ace hardware home Depot Lowe's or you could repair that hose with a coupler

Out of sight out of mind for the critters.
@bobbyguyfilms try to bury the new hose just in that section it might help from the critters biting the hose or even stepping on it
why won’t you post a magnet video!!! please give me an answer
Try using habanero spice on the hose that should take care of them dirty little critters
Raccoons mice gophers rats all eat the irrigation hoes in my fields
Run some sections of hard pipe where the critters are a problem.
Pick up the hose when youre done pumping. It doesnt take long to lay out a little hose like that
Heck yeah keep up the good work you inspire me bob.
Put another piece of hose over the hole when it fills with water the outer piece seels the hole
It’s a nice area. Get some pipe and that way you can use it for years. Pipe is not expensive.
Flex Seal Those Bad Boys Bobby !
change out holed hoses to nearer pond, any leaks may run into pond
Use fire hose. Little more expensive but it will last
if i were you id buy 4 inch tile drain pipe for field tile and put the hose inside of that!
Run your water line inside pvc
pvc hard pipe an glue its a plastic pipe cheep
Coat the entire hose with cayenne pepper
Use tire patches with rubber cement
Just flip the hose around
Pepper on hose raccoons run
The best bro love them ❤❤
Love the pintail

Flex seal tape!!!
If you are going to continue on with this pond every year I would invest in 2” pvc and put 2” camlock(banjo) fittings on each joint.
Solid pipe needed

Call a few local fire stations. They may have some “retired” fire hoses they might give u … or at least discount

Buy a few sticks of 3” pvc or a roll of drain tile and run the pump hose through it to protect it
Won’t be cheap but maybe you need to replace the hose with PVC pipe.

Nice pintail, looks like they are coming out of the plumage.
You can’t hard pipe the water line???
Like with pvc pipe?
Let the pump run and flood the "critters" out!
Put the hose in some 4 or 6 inch pvc to act as a casing for protection
Get it of the going a few feet with sticks a twine
