Thank you for putting this up. I think I might have to pick this up, having to hand crank every time I want to use my garden hose kinda sucks and I really like the swivel in both directions.
Wow, so you don’t bypass your DI tank for everything but the final rinse. Either you don’t have really hard water or you go through the tanks more frequently. Looks like it’s a Puretec 1 tank system. Would you be willing to share what the cost is from Puretec. And that looks like a great hose real option.
Josh any chance you could share a video of how one of your mobile trucks is setup? Even if it’s not an “ideal” setup. At least it could show what an ACTUAL operating detailing business COULD look like. Thanks!
Awesome video! I purchased a Giraffe hose real prior to seeing this video so this is confirmation I made a good choice. Just curious, I went with the 5/8s inch hose as opposed to the smaller one for more water volume. Not even sure if that matters. Any thoughts on hose size?
Just subscribed. Love your videos. Your video convinced me to buy the active pressure washer. Do you know if the link for quick connects you have on Amazon are the correct size for the active pressure washer?
for the size its probably not a bad price but like you said the average person doesnt need one that big. their smaller one is still 100ft which is still a bit much considering for a little more we could get the one you use. i wish they had a 50ft or a 75ft and it would be right in what id like to spend
@@imjoshv i love you work but can you tell the convertion in métrica units. You have a lot followers in europeu and is Not easy ex after you say the capacity in gallons tell please in liters
I'm curious if the diameter of the hose is impeding flow? I thought it will take a 1/2" hose longer than a 3/4" hose to fill a 5 gallon bucket? I like the idea. But I'm curious if a larger diameter hose will fill a tank faster?
Yea i think it does a little. They have a 5/8 option too i think.... But ive noticed it takes a little longer to fill my tanks. Not bad at all, but it is slightly longer
I just bought one, didn't even mount it yet. I saw a video yesterday about how badly this reel was after a year. Faded, not retracting all the way and the mount bracket started to bend. Oh well, I guess I'll find out this time next year.
Hi Josh, After seeing this video i bought Giraffe 130 ft water hose reel. It came today and i installed it. After 70 ft I gave it a tug and it was automatically retracting inside. It has just gone 20 ft and then it stopped. After struggling for 1 hours i could not make it recoil inside. It was just a lemon. On Monday it is going back to Guraafe and i will ask for full refund. Not worth of the one purpose it is built for i.e recoiling i side the cover. I felt like i wasted my money after your recommendation. I just wanted toblet you kniw. I ordered the hoselink one today that is Made in Australia. Hope you do honest reviews and not the paid reviews.
Yo Josh....you have continually made great videos with your content. And I have continually shared your channel with known enthusiasts in hope that they will also subscribe for the reasons I did. Do what you do brother. It's working 👍
Can I ask you what is printed on your uberflex hose ?? The one I received yesterday has the following...uberflex propulse 3100psi 50' ( not exactly in order but you get the idea )...Amazon got this one from Ultimate Washer..does any of this match YOUR HOSE ???? Thank you.
yes...it just doesn't seem to act the same as yours ??? I mean when I stretched it out I had to spin it ( or twirl it if you will ) to untangle the kinks ???? I don't think I am explaining this very well ????? Yours just seems to have more play in it ??
@@jonjohnson102 hose reels arent cheap lol not sure why some people expect anything but the hundreds. Your paying for something has to be able to hold up to years of abuse and retracting
@@jonjohnson102 and apologies my first comment came off rude I just meant I’ve used some $50-100 reels and they don’t self retract and are plastic junk lol
Josh. What’s your review 2 years later? I’m shopping for one
Thank you for putting this up. I think I might have to pick this up, having to hand crank every time I want to use my garden hose kinda sucks and I really like the swivel in both directions.
Yea its a great unit!!
This is awesome, need one for my house just for convenience
Good shit josh your got me inspired mate hose reel for my auntie birthday 🥳 thanks 🙏 mate

Can you recommend a budget pressure hose reel/stand set up?
Good day 👍looking from Trinidad will buy one day

Yes I can, Actually planning on it! Ill do both vehicles
Thank you for excellent videos👍. I am shopping for new water hose for my home. How giraffe hose reel working out for you after 2yrs + of use?
Hey Josh. I'm looking for a hose reel for my flexzilla garden hose to fit in the back of my ford fusion. What do you recommend
Awesome video! I purchased a Giraffe hose real prior to seeing this video so this is confirmation I made a good choice. Just curious, I went with the 5/8s inch hose as opposed to the smaller one for more water volume. Not even sure if that matters. Any thoughts on hose size?
Yea i think the 5/8 will get more Gallons Per Minute (GPM) of flow. Ive notices it takes a little longer to fill my water tanks with the 1/2 hose
You can fill the tanks faster if you ditch the nozzle and put a valve on the end. That way the GPM is optimized.
Yep, I did!! Thanks
Can you do a spring loaded automatic retractable hose real for a pressure washer video. Thanks
Will that work for me pressure washing hose?

They have a 65' option withe a 5/8 diameter hose! amzn.to/38mDfA0
That's pretty sweet!
Sure is!
That is a sweet setup 👍😁
Thanks 👍
Very nice! I need a long hose like that for my backyard. Not sure how well that would last outdoors though.
I have one in my back yard and its been fine. Getting a little bleached out from the sun but not bad
@@imjoshv Good to hear!
Can you talk more about your water filter? Thanks for your excellent videos
Yes, soon

Cool. Now throw a flexzilla garden hose in there
Ha, the flexzilla is great. Im not sure if it would work in there or now
Dude, there is a set screw that you need to loosen on the wall mount, no need to pound it with your hand
Great video
Do you know of any retractable hose reals where you supply the hose? IE. They just sell the case itself?
you can ditch the included hose and add your own, i did this with several models
@@mainsource8030 Have you ever replaced the Flexzilla retractable 1/2 hose with a 5/8? How much effort is there in opening the enclosure?
Yo Josh....you have continually made great videos with your content. And I have continually shared your channel with known enthusiasts in hope that they will also subscribe for the reasons I did. Do what you do brother. It's working 👍
Thanks so much for the support!!!
These leadere hoses have been one of the main problem areas for hose reels -- they almost always leak
Ill keep an eye on this one.. So far so good. Atleast that part is easy enough to swap out
Can I ask you what is printed on your uberflex hose ?? The one I received yesterday has the following...uberflex propulse 3100psi 50' ( not exactly in order but you get the idea )...Amazon got this one from Ultimate Washer..does any of this match YOUR HOSE ???? Thank you.
yea that sounds right. Is there a patent number printed on it?
yes...it just doesn't seem to act the same as yours ??? I mean when I stretched it out I had to spin it ( or twirl it if you will ) to untangle the kinks ???? I don't think I am explaining this very well ????? Yours just seems to have more play in it ??
Well....the uberflex 50' hose arrived today...................it kinks like every other hose...............??????????
The material should be significantly different than other hoses. Heres a video where i compare all of them. ruclips.net/video/a3lIiFOJffA/видео.html
I bought the hose from the Amazon link in your video....???? the print on the hose is the same ????
Replace that hose with a Flexzilla!
For 200 you shouldnt have to
