Just switching to a van mounted system rather than carrying tanks and stuff to the property.
I am currently running 300 ft of supply and pole hose but would like to know what the maximum you guys use.
I am running a 12 v sureflow pump and have a spare in line should the first fail.
Have tried running both together and still get 3 lts per minute at 500 ft.
Some jobs will require about 800 ft of hose out.
I am currently hand balling air hose as a supply line but need some advice on decent hose reels. in an ideal world i would like 3 hose reels each with 300 ft of supply hose.
Heard good stuff about this but shipping is a killer as I am out in Canada.

Hi Bill.
I use 100m of microbore on a 460 reel like this one http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hose-reels/professional-hot-water-hose-reels/460-fixed-hose-reel-130m.html
You don't necessarily need this kind of reel, you can use the more basic type which also last well if you look on the Gardiner website for ideas.
