I am a householder installing a replacement water softener and would like to get a good water flow through the hoses and connectors.
Ideally, I would like to use 3/4" hoses with 3/4" elbow (90 degree) threaded connectors that do not reduce the water flow. The only connectors I can find have a small hole - I would like to get full bore flow.
If not 3/4" hoses, at least 3/4" connectors with full bore that I can fit to the usual washing machine type hoses.
Please does anyone know where I can get such hoses and / or connectors?

Thanks for the advice, but the instructions do not specify any hoses or connectors. They just say connect to water supply. I spoke to their technical bloke who said it is OK to do as I am suggesting, their water softener will take the flow.

Good old google!
This is a good price too.
Water Softener High Flow Hoses Installation Kit for High Pressure Systems
 
Thanks, Chalked. I did find those hoses during my own Googling (!) but didn't know whether the connectors reduced the flow. Perhaps best if I ring them during office hours.
I would only need the 900mm hoses. Is £45 really a good price? Seems a helluva lot!
 
Most water softner manufacturers can supply a a high flow kit which softner do you have ?
