Why didn't you just un-tangle it?
My hose has never got badly tangled.

its somehow got stuck tight god knows!!!
-
u probably pulled it when realing it in, u just get use to it and to make sure that it doesnt over lap
-
my advice would be NEVER gather all your hose back into a big bundle, had a customer do this for me once "Thought i'd help you!! all your hose is at the back of your van" he said. OMG >:(, it took me nearly 1/2 hour to un tangle it! >:(

hose is the bane of my life,gets stuck on everything, Well saying that, the crap reel i got from purefreedom is worse, hose keeps coming off the sides, its not high enough off the ground so hose drags and jams it up, when just over half empty its too light so tips over when pulling hose out......crap,crap,crap >:( oh and keep cracking my knuckles on the ground when winding in >:(

van mounted 100 mtr micro bore and heavy duty reel from gardiners, nearly 3 yrs and never got it tangled, i think having the hose reel bolted to van floor helps,
as i does not move /fall over, like it would, if it was free standing ;)

Seriously considering going trad after yesterdays fiasco :-[ Am in the process of making a trolley out of parts off my busted backpack, every day i think its the way forward, trolley for wfp upstairs, trad downstairs, keep custies happy, no hose nightmares, no damaging flowers by accident with hose etc etc. trolley not advanced from buying a sac truck yet and starting to make a battery/pump box.More i think about it, the more it makes sense :-\

I HAVE ONE ON CEILING ABOVE TANK ON SIDE DOOR (FIXED)& ONE OUT BACK DOOR FIXED TO FLOOR WORKS A TREAT
-
have considered fixing mine down,but like having the option of working with the van locked
-
can still lock back door if needed.

do you just trap hose in the door?
-
chopsie, i got the same reel as you, i have cut my pipe down to around about 70 mtrs, doesnt scrape the floor now or 'overflow' the sides, still catch my hands tho, hope this helps :)
-
cheers kentclean. have considered doing that, worried i might need that extra 30 metres at some point though :-\ wish i had got the other reel they do now, looks the same but on wheels.
-

i have a scudo, microbore goes between door seals , close door till it latches- not fully closed, door can then be locked.

First lesson in wfp: Learn some patience
Second lesson never cut hose in half, refer to first lesson
-
just carry a couple of connectors with you if you need the extra length just cluck click! ;)
-
Ah, I can see where you went wrong - cutting it in half is not enough. You need to cut it up into about eight pieces to untangle it properly.
-
lol well thanks for all the advise i now havew tangled up one of the halfes as well now... dont know what im doing wrong??? still HELP!!!
-
Strip the lot from the reel and rewind it back on from the other end. Should be fine.
-
ok dave i'll try that im up fo rowt :( ped off with it so far!
