Low pressure hose

[CleanDeeper]

So I need to buy a low pressure hose to reach from the customers tap to my van tank. Now I’m extremely limited on space in the van and I’m thinking about getting the Claber 40 Metal Hose Reel as it looks rather compact but states it can hold some good amount of hose. The problem is this is the spec:

• Maximum capacity: 85 m (Ø hose 1/2") , 60 m (Ø hose 5/8"), 40 m (Ø hose 3/4")

But using premium grade hose reduces these lengths by a good amount. Looking at the Amazon reviews someone said it will fit 50m of 1/2” and another said it will fit 30m of 3/4” Tricoflex. My question is, would you go with 30m 3/4” or 40m 5/8” hose? I have a 21lpm machine.

I’ve used the machine on 1/2” and it nowhere near fills fast enough ? it takes me about 30mins to fill my tank at home using 1/2” and take the pressure washer about 10mins to empty it ????

You could really do with filling up as many buffer tanks as you can.
Glaber ground 40 hose reels are brilliant but in real world use they don't hold as much hose as listed. hose doesn't lie perfectly flat when you reel it in

Actual use Vs length of the hoses I own and use

100m 6mm streamline hose
30m Cellfast 3/4 hose
30m Claber kiros kit reel & hose

The 30m of Cellfast 3/4 hose was actually left from new in the garden with boiling hot water flowing through it to remove the manufacturing memory effect of the coil before winding it onto the reel for the first time and it was a fight to get it spooling with ease

I hope this may help others with their enquiries about hose reels and general use (garden hose)
