Pole hose position. from top or bottom of reel

[johnny bravo]

does it not matter much, ive noticed in some pics some lads have there reel unwinding from the bottom, mine pulls out from the top.

there may be more resistence coming from the top.

have anyone changed there reel hose over from top to bottom or vise versa

I've found you have more chance if reeling out the hose from the top the hose will jam as it can come over the side of the reel.

have you bolted or simply screwed onto flooring plywood.

Mine reels out from the top....never had a problem....

but my reel is on a shelf just above waist height :thumbsup:.

Depends what you prefer ......

Winding handle on the right and hose on top.........you reel-in clockwise.

Winding handle on the right and hose on bottom...you reel-in anti-clockwise.

Winding handle on the left and hose on top.........you reel-in anti clockwise

Winding handle on the left and hose on bottom...you reel-in clockwise.

a lot of thought has gone into that bingo, thats exactly the way you have to do it. dont you just love muddy wet hoses, winding them in.

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Oh, and my hose comes from the bottom of the reel.

No, much neater if it hangs down the back /emoticons/biggrin.png

Uncle Alex recommends from the bottom :thumbsup:

Mine from the top. It used to be from the bottom but I had a leaky connector. After replacing said connector and reeling it back in discovered it was now at the top. It still pulls out, carries water and gets covered in muck. /emoticons/smile.png

If you're ever stuck 8mm hose pushes tightly into 1/2" hose, a couple of cable ties on it & you're away. This allows you to put a short piece of 1/2" hose onto the end of your 8mm to attach a hozelock connector to. I used this method for years!!

 

[cheapncheerful]

hi thanks for that , i was wondering whether something like that would work...i may need that if my plastic one snaps as i only have the one.....

at least my two new angle adapters fitted okay so no more slipping brush...all ready for action tomorrow../emoticons/biggrin.png

View attachment 3513 my hosereel and mods to it,it works for me,the soft ball is left to slide down the hose so when reeling in i can hold it and it removes the grass and **** from the hose
