Title: Best pipe for hose reel
Post by: jk999 on April 21, 2023, 09:00:42 pm

Can anyone point me to the best hose for reels,I'm sick of buying hose that starts to split and leak within months and also expands and almost burst costing me a fortune

What size you using - I have micro bore from fur out hydraulics - a reel lasts 5 years easy

This is what I use. Last reel from Wintecs for £51+vat but gone up. Previous one I got from a forum member for £30 as his family member worked at Vale I think. I use it as reel hose and pile hose as run DIY tubeless. Light enough and little to no kinks. Cold water though not hot 😔😅

this who I go too, - its only to be expected that prices are rocketing up - shops and supermarkets are trying to make extra money to cover the last couple of years

Last year started using gardeners reinforced pole hose . Got about 18 months out of it . Only damage I was getting was where it joined th quick connection . Ease of use was worth lack of longevity
