ok so i am a complete newby here and have a basic question…
I am setting up my trailer and have a 200’ supply flexzilla garden hose to fill up my water tank.
when i get to a job, do i need to unroll all of the 200’ from the hose reel or just enough to get to the customers spicket?
What gives u more water flow?
not sure, thats why i was aksing
i would think unrolling it all would give more water flow, but wasnt sure
what do you think gives more water flow?
What dont u unroll it and test it.
It is simple, a good learning curve for u
Don’t feed the tank thru the reel. Pull off what you need and hook to the tank
well i dont actually have the flexzilla line yet, was only going to get 100 or 150 if it needs to be unrolled completely at every job, but figured if it didnt i would get 200’
in your experience, do you find it needs to be completely pulled off reel or only pulling off what you need works just as good?
I dont have flexilla,
I use commercial black hose non kink.
I.do unroll all from my reel.
Most houses i do have thir spickets far from where i park.
I have 2x200ft of hose on 2 reels.
Nope.
thank you for your feedback, i may go with commercial hose no kink hose to, but now i know to maybe not get 200’ because im in a residential area where my trailer wont be too far from house, maybe get an extra and throw it in truck in case i need longer when i get to a job
thank you!
so you are saying to maybe have 2 100’ hoses on a reel, if i can use just one pull it off reel, then connect hose to spicket and directly to the holding tank any not go through the remaining hose on the reel, that makes sense too
Wait, I thought we were supposed to always go thru the reel… 
That’s how we do it…I built a dual feed manifold so we can hook up 2 hoses, but honestly the only time we need it seems to be wells, and the problem isn’t our hose/system in those cases…
Yes. My reels aren’t plumbed to the tank but each truck holds 600ft of hose on two reels.
I bought 4 50 foot sections of 3/4 inch Flexzilla a few months ago. I highly recommend!
YOU’RE WRONG! You have to buy 2 - 100’ sections!
Is that how you do it @Innocentbystander ? Or were the caps over the top? 
I should be slapped upside the head with a ball valve! The caps were totally necessary.
No you have to use one 200’ section! Come on guys.
In all seriousness I have 200ft of flexzilla on my water supply reel and it is the best water hose I’ve ever used. I swear by the stuff to the point where I have 200’ of old flexzilla on my 12v system. Kuritech hose is on the list I just haven’t found a reason to buy new hose and I already had the flexzilla. Its held up over ~1000 gallons of 3-6% bleach and is a dream for doing roofs. Super light and almost never kinks. I flush my hoses and my 12v very thoroughly though. If you see anyone’s trailer radiating lime green behind an ibc tote its me.
NO BALL VALVES. Into the sh tank with you.
I wish I had bought the Flexzilla hoses sooner, instead of waiting for my old NeverKinks to fail. On the Kuritec; my understanding is the you’ll get more distance with 1/2 inch hoses on the 12v than 5/8. 3/8 will choke your flow. I have 2 100 foot Kuritecs & so far they are great hoses. They ortta be for what they gopher!
I love the idea of a 1/2in kuritech hose a LOT but what I’ve got works for now. Lookin for a new truck and $300 here and there adds up more than i’d like. I have to walk into my supply store with a cane and blacked out sunglasses to stop myself from paying for their new forklift. Plan for now is new truck → dual axle trailer with everything I dream of including kuritech hose but until then the credit card has a chastity belt
