there are cheaper, got 4 of the same brand, 2 of these and 2 smaller ones.

got mine for 8 years now.

Are you running roof mix thru it?

I have the same reel for my supply and high pressure line. I’m happy with them so far, but I’m hesitant about getting another one for the roof setup. I never run fresh water thru my roof setup.

No i run all my chems after the reel.

So you take off all of your hose each use? The reel is just for storage purposes?

My set up is different., that is why my equipement lasts me longer
Look at my videos.

YouTube or? What name are they under? Thanks!

Foaming … pre treating:

Will ad my own injector bypass next year

Got it. Thank you.

That video doesn’t really show much but from the looks of the 3 seconds it shows your reel setup you only use them for storage. Which means you have to unreel the hose that you intend to use and connect it.

From a longevity perspective seems great. But for practical purposes I can see myself doing this. I would prefer to buy a swivel every two years.

Am I overlooking anything? Btw I like the foaming. I’ll have to try that one day. I’ll bookmark the link. I seen another video a while back showing how little chem you use with this method. I guess that’s why you said you would be willing to pay up to $10 per gal of powdered sh.

I did rig up something yesterday that allows me to unreel only what I need then connect the line. I just need some type of quick connections on my 5/8 poly line. I really need some better hose but I’m gonna use this until it fails. It’s still got at least a year in it.
