Hi robbo

just read your reply about using 50 metres of pole hose as your main hose reel - sounds a great idea !

How long have you used it for and how well is it wearing as they tend to get a bit of a rough life overall ?

Also how do you attach it to the hose reel itself - Guest adapters or similar ?

Cheers

Simon

Hi Simon
I've used the pole hose as my main hose for about 2 years, I know it's not for everyone but I think it works well.
On my reel at the moment I have about 40 metres of pure freedom's minibore hose and then i've attached 50m of Aqua-dapters red pole hose on the end. I usually never use more than about 50m for any house but the minibore is there if I need more. It just so happens that the pole hose fits neatly inside the minibore with just a 'O' clip to hold it. No leaks, no problems.
It's so cheap to buy that you should literally give it a go and if you don't like it then you've got some pole hose as a spare.
Need to know anything else just call me 07850 262016.
Cheers
Pete

Forgot to mention that I've never had a single leak or split in that time.

Thanks for that Pete, I think I'll look into it for sure in the new year as just about to have a hernia repair and will be off for a few weeks after xmas.

Anything to lighten the hosereel will be great and maybe get me back to work a bit sooner than they've said.

Cheers mate, have a good Xmas and Happy new year.

not sure what hose reel you use but the gardiners lightweight hose reel with there micro bore is very light ,i use mine with 60 metres on which does most of my domestic jobs only use my heavy ionics reel for a couple of jobs every eight weeks.

the reel is only £50 too .
