Rang them today and got a quote,£800-850 approx.The fitting kit that you`ll need is stainless steel when working with DI water,they normally use mild steel or copper but for this use it`s a no no of course.They also do a fitting from hosereel to hose which acts the same as a reducer for using mini-micrbore,they did recommend that it had it`s own split charged leisure battery for the reel on it`s own as the drain is to much to run the reel and other things off of just the 1.I`ll go into it later but the spring rewind reel is a no no for what we use it for,you have to reel all your hose out in a pile before you can walk with it.

I thought Tucker used the spring rewind retractor? They seemed to go ok, mind you on the demo he didn't show it being reeled in, I wonder why.

A spring rewind reel works exactly the same as the one you can get from B&Q you know the green 1 that bolts to a wall etc,the further out you wind it the harder it gets to pull it so when you get to about 20mtrs it`ll be like you are walking into a hurricane wind if you get what i mean.As your pulling out the hose the spring is coiling up preparing itself to rewind,the tension all depends on the amount of hose used but the guy from Red Ashe assured me it would be next to useless for WC.

Spring rewind hose is a waste of time :(
