Title: Winding in the hoses.
Post by: Steven White on March 02, 2014, 02:23:34 pm

Well it's good biz to say time is money. What about winding in the hoses.

Just an idea but could a hose reel, bicycle chain and a motor be adapted to wind in your hoses altermatically?

It would have to cut out if the hose became stuck on something and be strong enough to pull 100meters of hose and the chain guarded. I saw this guy on youtube who had a very expensive system in the USA. But I recon it could be done cheaply. Anyone know a good type of motor to use you could run off a battery?

Blimey. I got really slim when i started window cleaning, then when i went to wfp i got stronger in my arms, but filled out alot. Then i went from trolly reels, (lifting in and out of the van) to fixed reels, so thats even less excercise, and now last year with the lighter garndiner pole, i dont think having an auto wind reel is going to help with the mid life paunch.  ;D ;D ;D ;D
