hose reel...PROBLEM
« on: September 04, 2007, 07:09:47 pm »
Hi

what do you all use for the angled male in the centre of the hose reel,?

i have a female hoselock onto the male in the reel---  with a small piece of half inch hose that slips into the microbore, then tied with jubilee clip...

does anyone have pictures of theirs?

must be a better way, it all feels under pressure, and too much  going on under the coiled hose.... it also leaks from the male inside the reel.

am fed up lol... everythings going wrong

friday my small pole split in two...

same day lost water pressure  whilst cleaning, went to van, water pumping up to the van roof, hose split!...

today leaks all around my reel.... luckily i could put it outside the van but not good at all.

and to top all that -

nobody loves me  ::) ::) ::)--- ;D ;

Do you have the plastic reel or the metal one??
I have the metal one and it came supplied with the correct fitting to install  my microbore to it.

Alex does the metal one, just check with him about the connector for microbore.

If you do get one from Alex  buy the external swivel, well worth the extra few quid.

Been using my metal one since December last year with no problems. :)

Nothing worse when everything leaks,

Buy your self a roll of self Amalgamating tape from Maplins, if you ever spring a leak while at work, you can make a good repair to enable you to carry on, it will also seal any leaking joints until you get it sorted, you can even repair your pole tube with it?  It does cost about £5/6 a roll but well worth carrying in your spares box.
