What a wreck on wheels, council estate Gary
Good idea but bad execution. I get wanting to keep the van doors closed while working. Someone needs to tell him about underfloor rollers!
If you watch the waterworks videos they have the pole mounted on the back doors connected to the reel inside the van just walk away and start work , then they use the fob to re wind the his3 clip the pole on the back doors and off to the next job without opening the doors at all , I like the idear of it but need constant water circulation back to the tankI think it’s genius! Couple of small adaptations and it’d be really efficient. It’s a good height for easy reeling, just needs a little latch to stop it unwinding while driving, and a roller guide at bumper height so the hose comes off nice and low.
id only need to open the doors a couple times a day to swap to the 35’
The waterworks video that is a pretty slick idea, for sure.If you watch the waterworks videos they have the pole mounted on the back doors connected to the reel inside the van just walk away and start work , then they use the fob to re wind the his3 clip the pole on the back doors and off to the next job without opening the doors at all , I like the idear of it but need constant water circulation back to the tank
Any link to the video?If you watch the waterworks videos they have the pole mounted on the back doors connected to the reel inside the van just walk away and start work , then they use the fob to re wind the his3 clip the pole on the back doors and off to the next job without opening the doors at all , I like the idear of it but need constant water circulation back to the tank
Sorry Ime not good with links but it was on their site , will see if I can find it . I have had a look on YouTube and cannot find it Ime sure someone on hear will know where it is it’s the video of him driving round a housing estate he stops removes the pole from the back door of the van walks to the house cleans windows walks back to the van with the hose being reeled in whilst walking back to the van , jumps in van and off to the next houseAny link to the video?
You could still have water circulating back to the tank via a tee and a couple of 12v valves that switch between reel and recirculating. OK so not perfect as the hot wouldn't circulate round the reel but it would be a simple system to setup ?
Found it but don’t know how to post a link this is it , it’s the auto spooling one you need to watch the whole videoSorry Ime not good with links but it was on their site , will see if I can find it .

Looks a great idea but would need some sort of pole lock, I wonder why they didn't market it?
Where you live that might be a couple of times a year, for me that would be from October to May.When the temperature is down around maybe four degrees you would get ice forming in the bristles as you drive down the road.
We don’t get it cold that often , and we use hot water so that set up wouldn’t work for us as we need constant water flow through the reels back to the tankWhen the temperature is down around maybe four degrees you would get ice forming in the bristles as you drive down the road.
You're not wrong. ?Where you live that might be a couple of times a year, for me that would be from October to May.
That would be the ideal solution, because you’d still have the electric reel, not sure how they’d stand up to being out in the elements. But you need to guide the hose on and we’re all still waiting for the autospooling from them, apparently next year according to a Facebook post from them.If you watch the waterworks videos they have the pole mounted on the back doors connected to the reel inside the van just walk away and start work , then they use the fob to re wind the his3 clip the pole on the back doors and off to the next job without opening the doors at all , I like the idear of it but need constant water circulation back to the tank
