Decided to spool a new microbore hose onto my reel today - dead easy fixed the end and wound it on. Then I thought i would pull it out to 100m just to make sure there were no leaks on the reel end.  the whole length corkscrewed up like one of those air hoses. Took me an hour to sort it all out, much to the amusement of the whole close.

ah joy!!

hoses seem to be testing me a lot recently!! the 2 hoses i have for my powerwasher decided the would become tangled when i went to roll the out at a job the other day - i was ready to leave them lying and walk off lol!!

hoses can be tricky customers!!

If you put a new reel on the ground at the back of the van the right way up it should reel straight on with no hassel if it`s the right way up the hose should not get tangled,i connect mine to the reel only and then turn the water on to check for leaks before i wind the whole 100mtrs on.

Looked the right way up to me, obviously it wasn't, so i must have wound it on the opposite way that it came off the hose making machine. Seems to have settled now.
