And here are the total parts I use to make this reel. Minus the bolts,Ha,Ha,..
And one of how the handle is attached.
* Another thing Hal,..I've never seen where a pin lock, or disk drag would have been beneficial,...I never had any issues with over spooling or anything. I'm sure if you go...
Hey Hal, here are some tear down pictures. I am REALLY surprised at the condition of the galvanized manifold,...even the inside isn't nearly as corroded as I've seen it in the past. This is proof of what rinsing does for longevity. Probably 10-15 gallons of water pumped through the hose reel...
.
Here are some photos of the reel,..I've used it for the last several years,..and as I said,..I made it to be easily serviced,..only replacing it because of it's appearance. I'm not even sure how those "discs" got bent like that Ha,Ha,..,..must be from the welder,..but it's kinda hefty...
I am going to buy a Titan hose reel,..I am getting the upgraded SS manifold. This is going to be used for roof cleaning, so, even though it's SS,..it will most likely need replaced at some point. Anyone with experience in replacing the manifold? Just want to know the difficulty level,.. Just...
I am looking to buy the Titan T4312 hose reel. Specs show it will hold 200' of 1/2" hose.,...Does anyone here have any input on this reels capacity with 1/2" Kuri-Tec?
Not really questioning the specs,.but wall thickness in hoses can vary,..Although Kuri-Tec isn't overly thick,... before I...
Ok,..so I've read a little about the red RV antifreeze freezing,...seems it does freeze in alot of cases. And not anywhere near -50 the bottle "claims"
Couple gray areas I'm seeing,..the -50 isn't a claim against freeze up,..it's a claim against bursting freeze ups? Some people claim it does...
Was fishing in the local river a few days ago and found this thing lying just off the waters edge? I haven't any idea what it is or what it's for. Now, I'm not one to normally pick something like this up, simply because it looks high tech and expensive,..BUT I'm going to be honest about it and...
Russ or anyone,..are the remotes for the soap injectors still available? I didn't see them on the site,..maybe just missed them. Also, what is the feedback on these? Like range, working though obstructions, durability etc... I want to get one of these and would like to see how others like them...
While filling up today at my local GIANT gas station,..I was asked about washing the underside of the canopy. Basic mold and bug crap. Cleaning isn't my concern,.. But, the runoff goes into a city drain. They said the guy from Philadelphia who does the concrete just lets the waste water go into...
Here are a couple pictures,...
The pump and handle are now one piece,..I plastic weld the handle down so it isn't always sliding up and down,...I also plastic weld the bottom where the seal is,..these tend to start to come up through the center,..although I think the the top piece would...
This is for anyone using air pumps such as All-Flo, Yamada, Versa-Matic etc... These pumps tend to stall at times,..very irritating if it becomes persistent,..these pumps perform very well when operating and are also the most resilient pumps to Sodium Hypochlorite. A big reason these pumps stall...
I bought a GX 630 Honda this past Winter and have been using it without issue. Today, started up just fine, ran for about a minute before pulling the trigger,..when I did,..it stumbled and shut off. Started back up and did the same thing. Never did that before. Throttle was just a bump over...
Hey fellas,..I have a deck to strip,.not sure what the product is I will be stripping,..customer didn't know. Kind of a semi transparent walnut colored stain,...very bad condition, floor is covered with HEAVY crusty mold with about 50% of the stain gone. the upright railing scratches off with...
When running TSF2021 pump with 150' feet of 3/8" hose,.. it is pulling soap with a 0020 nozzle. General Hi-Draw injector 5-8 GPM,...Just wondering why it's pulling soap with a 0020 nozzle? I have a 3-5 GPM and the 5-8 GPM injectors. Feels like I'm missing something here?? Any input would be...
If you run a compressor powered roof pump you should definitely "drain daily" as instructed to do so by the manufacturer. Especially in humid weather and also when using wheelbarrow compressors with small tanks. ALOT of water builds up in the tanks in a short period of time in humid weather. The...
Anyone have any information or experiences they care to share on this product and it's uses. I've read some reviews but was wondering how it worked on gutter streaks in particular and at what mix ratio, and application method. Of course I'd like to hear how it works on any surface or grime...
Gonna start using an unloader block, wondering if it's bad to put a couple of 90 degree elbows to make a neater more compact assembly? Wondering about flow restriction. Even thought about getting some adapters to up size the connector hose and elbows to 1/2" to compensate for the 90 degree...
Am I correct in Sodium Hypochlorite not being allowed into storm drains? We don't run into the issue much anyhow, but if it's going to enter a storm drain we try to collect runoff from roofs in bags and buckets and dump it on a hard surface somewhere and left to evaporate. We have a big roof to...
I have a local ice company asking about me washing their 4 trucks. They are medium sized type delivery trucks,..fairly new and I think they are simply white with lettering. Now,..I don't usually even consider doing truck washes, but this is the place I had my first regular job, starting back in...
Has anyone ever ran into the "waxing" of stain on wood siding? I had never heard of it until a few days ago. A painting friend of mine asked me about it because according to a Sherwin Williams bulletin that's what he determined it was. It sounds to me though that it happens on hardboard siding...
