Cheers danny.its been a long day!anyway back on topic.
Yes hose reel and fittings were all changed.
Red aquadaptor pole hose
Koreel reel
Car radiator hose from hot outlet to reel
Gardiner stiff brushes(extreme/sl and sill)
Rectus 26 fittings.
I had problems with hoses going too soft and hoses blowing off connectors.now everything is nice and tight.works great.
You can try hot water with your existing fittings but I bet you have a few annoying problems!I already had thermobore hose on reel so just swapped it to new reel.
