Title: pressure in reel
Post by: duncan h on July 03, 2014, 09:15:39 pm
Ok guys. Between runs, do you leave pressure in your reel? The reason I ask is, a sI don't have many customers it could be a long trip between custys. I now disconnect everything. The pressure when I disconnect hozelock hose, from reel is a lot. It fires out. Cant be good for pump but it wets van and me plus waists water

My hose is under pressure all the time.
24/7.
Turn my pump off at night, stays pressurised, turn it back on in the morning, lost a tiny bit over night but not much.

Yes, me.  My system only leaks when not under pressure - the hozelock bits stay sealed better with force.  So when I pop the brush on to the end of the hose and release pressure, the drips start.  When I detach and the pressure starts to build I can see the unions moving and the drips stop.

Duncan to stop it spraying everywhere just push a hose connector joiner in the end of the hose reel hose that will let all the water out of the hose. Or you can reel in with the brush still plugged in as long as you've turned the pump off lol !!!! The access water in the reel will come out the brush head. I fitted a connector to my tank so when I finish at the end of the day I push my reel hose onto it which releases the pressure and goes back into my tank
