How do u guys clean round the backs of peoples houses if your van is parked on the road, im guessing at least 50m of hose?

I use 60 mtrs of hose on a reel

garden hose to a tank or pressure washer hose? i would guees 60m of pressure washer hose is fairly expensive?

For 10 metres of high pressure rated pipe its somewhere between £60 - £80.
I have a company very close to me who do hydraulics and pipes etc and they charge me £50 for a good 10 metre lenght so look around first before buying.

100m of 3/8 hose is less than £200

You can get the standard black pipe or a non marking pipe which doesnt leave any marks on the ground caused by vibration through it.Also check how many wires it has going through it, for high pressure rated piping which is about upto 400bar it should have 2 wires (although you cant check yourself without cutting it!)

its 60 metres of pressure hose. I get it for about £150 per 30 metre length .... or something like that.


If I do a job that even that wont reach I can take my pressure washer out of the van and wheel it, although it takes two people to do that. Its on a four wheel frame.

Go to your local hydraulic hose supplier - its nothing special just twin wire hydraulic hose. I've seen 1/2" rolls on ebay for jetters for £240 from GKN. I bought a scrap jetter from e bay with a seized engine for the hose reel and pump as I have a plan to run the hot box and drive cleaning kit from the 400 ltr jetter tank in the van but I need to get a custom tank made first. Then I can fill the tank with pure water to clean windows and shoot off to unblock a drain, I can run the hot box and drive cleaning gear for a drive or a grafitti job as well. The 3/8 rolls of hose don't have to be expensive - If you can't get it where you are let me know and I'll price it up down here as I am in the hose place quite a lot

ive just thought it would be much cheaper 2 have more hose from my pressure washer to my van tank pumping and returning the water, but would i have enough pressure pumping the water to my pressure washer say upto 50m away?

My service guys have told me not to go over four metres from tank to machine and I generally have pipework @ 22mm for about 1000mm and then 22mm anti kink hose to attach to the machines (about a metre).

I have been known to run 140 metres of hose to a work area.

You lose 28psi of pressure per 100 foot of hose so  I don't worry too much about the loss. Some have said it puts pressure on the pump running long lengths of hose. I also have a drain jetter and it doesn't affect them. My machines will run continually every day for 8 to 10 hours for 5 or 6 days per week and I have never had a pump go.

I have a standard 30m hose on reel in the back of the van and then 10m add ons i did a 100 metres worth of drive from the back of the van last month and it seemed to be ok!!! Like Robert says the loss of pressure is not a worry
