What thread?? ;)
Gav,those new Gardiner hose reels don't comfortably hold 100m of hose so Tosh has sorted his so it does (probably cut 30m off it ;D). The hose falls over the sides and drags on the floor etc

I can't find the close up, but this will do. Look at the side of the top handle of the hose reels. I've put a short piece of that stuff plumbers use to lag pipes with onto the side and gaffer taped it, so it's close to the reel. This stops the hose from over-running the reel and getting trapped between the side of the reel and the handle. It works.

Yep. I'm pleased with the gear so far too. If I could do it all again, I'd just have gotten two variflow flow controllers and not the expensive Cleaning Warehouse one with a split charge relay (since I'm just manually charging my battery).
I wouldn't have bought the aqua dapters. I didn't like 'em.
And I would've gotten one trolley with wheels, as it's useful to be able to take your hose to where you want to start working (at times) and roll the hose back to your van.
The rest of the gear is great.

On some accounts I find it easier to disconnect the reel from the van and take the whole caboodle to a place near where I'm going to start working. I leave the pole end there and unreel back to the van, connect up, get my pole and then walk to where I'm going to work.
It's just easier for where there's lots of twists and turns.
I'd find it easier if I'd purchased one reel with wheels, so I could wheel it, rather than carry it.
Have I made sense?

Yeh! It's easier than fighting with hose though, and it's just on a couple of accounts. That's why I wish I got one with wheels.
