aargh the laptop is a bit slow and i kept on clicking,lee,this is how i got round the hose issue,the hose comes off the reel and snags down the side doesn't it?if your lucky it hasn't wound itself round the cenral shaft-trust me theres some choice words when that happens
this is how i got round it,simply cut two long peices of plastic strip and screwed it onto the reel housing,it sorts that problem straight away (i would have made a better job of cutting the strips but it was a quick job to see if it worked,and it did i'll make some neater ones sometime lol)

Good question.
Surely waterworks can design a guard?
I'd like one but need to put in a battery to battery charger first, otherwise I would be charging my battery everyday!
OK, so you pull out what you think you need to reach the back of the property, either leaving the doors open or shutting them on the hose I suppose. The only things that niggles me is that I don't like leaving my van unlocked when I am around the back of someones house cleaning a conny for instance as ive got all my trad stuff and other poles in the back. On the other hand, if I lock it and I havn't got enough hose pulled out, I've got to trudge back to the van and pull a load more off the reel. I can think of a few properties on my round where this would be a right pain in the proverbial. Just my thoughts at the mo....not sure which way I am going to go but I am going to get a lecky reel.

Now I don't have a power up reel but in the future possibly , Now my biggest gripe would be leaving truck unlocked and open to theft or you have to cut holes in your van.
And I just don't see any flexibility when parking on certain roads or housing estates when parking is restricted and the hose needs pointing in one direction to get some houses the pointing in another direction to complete the rest .

Peter just curious as to why you disliked my post , I have made valid points in terms of security over the years leaving van doors open or unlocked I have heard sob stories of lads having carbon poles stolen from unlocked vans totally their fault a theft can take seconds were as cleaning a house(s) takes a lot lot longer .
