With hot hose reeling in is not such an issue as it`s a lot easier but the idea is to make everything as easy as it can be isn`t it. ???

To be honest i don`t want anything else wired up to the van i don`t find reeling in so much of a problem anyway.

Hmmm I used to think that about trolleys but when you actually use a pwered one going back to pushing it seems hard work. When the price drops we may all want elecy reels and elecy cleaners  :) www.electricwindowcleaner.com

it looks really good, plus it winds in evenly, not bad, just wonder if a 100psi water pump would work it though, here one on youtube

At last.

Having cracked it yourself Peter just as i did a year ago and now having played about with it you are beginning to see the light. Hallelula.

Yes, you were quite negative and ignorant to the benefits that an electric reel might have but have fully redeemed yourself by saying that you now see the benefits as so fundamental as to fit one as standard to every new system you install.

This will be the industry norm and standard and you are the first supplier to respond to this.This isn't a subject for debate it's just a fact.Those who prefer to continue to slog their guts out without one will get left behind. Those who employ will find more work gets done and the lads will be happier.

Good for you.

Did you find that a WFP pump was powerful enough to reel it back in. I almost ordered one a couple of years ago, but thought that it wouldn't work.

I remember your saying hot was pants too. You don't think that now do you?

Sometimes it turns out what we were so certain of we are wrong about.

Keep an open mind.

NWH, £ signs have quite a lot to do with it, I must admit I do like getting paid for working, it keeps me going.  I also like things that save time and water, as these are the most important things in our industry.  The more time saved, the more work done, the more money earned.  And the more water saved, the more work done, the more money earned.

I have been off work in my bed all this week so have not had the chance to do the couple of modifications needed to make it more efficient, but I will hopefully do it at the beginning of next week.

Because of the new rules on the forum I can't post a link to the video I will be doing, but I will have a link from my forum as soon as I have done it.

I must admit though it is probably the easiest thing I have worked on to date, with everything just falling into place.  It will be a very easy DIY project for anyone.

I`ve already tried this electric drill thingy months ago when you first posted about it i went and got all the bits from screwfix and it nearly broke my wrist,yes i now have hot water but it`s a fact it`s better and there`s no argument there. but as for an electric reel yes it might have some benefit but not enough for me.On a lot of my work the hose hardly ever gets snagged and the reason is i know the layout with my eye`s closed now,if your hose does manage to get caught up on something an electric reel is of no use to cure that problem.My advise to anyone would be to get hot water reeling in becomes a peice of pee,your hose goes like jelly and goes exactly where you want it to go.

Firstly I would agree about not holding the drill in your hand, some of the more powerful drills can take quite a bite when they catch. Mines has a little lever that is not attached to the drill, this stops, starts, and regulates the speed.

An electric hose reel isn't there to stop, or help if your hose gets snagged, it would be more beneficial to you now if you don't get snagged. 

I think the hot water is more for another topic and doesn't really have anything to do with the hose being electric or not. it still has to be reeled in.

My point is that if you use hot water you won`t need to waste money on something that is no more than a drill,whatever you use basically that`s what it`ll be.

My point is, you still have to reel in 100m of hose whether the water is hot or cold.
