Question about hose reel
« on: June 22, 2012, 05:22:10 pm »
Are all hose reels fitted with stop ends or something, to stop water from inside the hose pipe going backwards when reeling in? (as in going back through the DI, then the pump, back into the tank)

No, the hosereel won't but your hose might if you put one on there.

Right, ive just fitted a stop end connector... sorted.

So, once ive reeled in, will i not get leaks from somewhere due to the pressure that would have built up?

Your pump has a non return valve already built in so the pressure wouldn't bleed back through the works into the tank.
