Uhhh maaaaan!!! (Said with a loooong sigh) lol
Pulled up to the first job, the sun was shining, had a smile on me face.....the day was lined up to be a cracker.
As i reversed saw u huge trail of water appearing in front of me!!! What the!!!!
Opens up the trailer, the 90 degree elbow for the tank pick up had pretty much snapped off, great. So i used my applicator to prop the elbow up which stemmed the flow a bit and got cracking before i ran out of water, plus the jubilee clip on the reel started leaking, i managed to get half a day done before it drained which i was fairly pleased with considering.
And then when packing up, i unplugged the pole hose from the micro bore and the female end didn't stop the flow as normal and turns out that knackered too, then once i put it all back together i was sucking the air out of the system and then bizarrely even though the digi controller was off the pumped kicked it at full pelt, i had to disconnect the battery to stop it. Luckily when i connected the battery again it all worked as normal!!! Whats all that about????
The reason the elbow snapped was because the reel bounces about in the trailer when driving about, so i nicked an idea off smurf and cut a piece of wood the exact size to fit in the back of the trailer, fitted four 22mm pipe clips and locked it in place, also should help stop the reel dragging about when unreeling it.
Phew what a day.......hopefully tomorrow will be back to normal
