New Hose reel

[CM Cleaning Services]

Hey all

This might sound daft has anyone had a new 100m hose and reel and thought the hose was too much for the reel ???

Ive just purchased new 325 di tank setup from WCW and no matter how tidy I try reel in hose it just seems too long to reel back in tidy ???

Will get a picture to show if it helps

What's everyone's general thoughts

Don't know about that particular reel, but I have two clover type reels, both containing 100m of microbore and there's plenty of room

I have this reel and it can all fit but it is a bit of a squeeze. The paperwork for the reel from what I remember says it can hold a max 90 metres so it's strange they sell it with 100.

I just wrapped it evenly and tight to the reel, that should work.

Yeah tried that and still wasnt great plus I could only do it slowly ?? Not always helpful trying to reel in quick between jobs :/

Chop it down might be the option

Yeah it's worth considering. When you factor all the messing around if don't need the full 100

I have the same reel with 8mm hose 100m pole 15m of pole hole as I'm tubeless it tight but I have dropped the crossbars down one hole so doesn't scrape the hose now.

 

[CM Cleaning Services]

Maybe its just me but agree with that too Den I'm experiencing hose scraping on the crossbars also so like you dropped them to bottom bolt only , now its just the hose to reel in tidy ,

I don't have issues reeling in apart from a dodgy shoulder and wished I got the power up hd instead , but I very rarely have the hose out more than half way and  never used the full 100m,  maybe loosing 10m to 15m will help?

If you do that and you have a digital controller, remember to adjust your calibration ?
