If you choose to buy the hose reel without the hose (Bare) you will want to add these 2 products to your order:
RADIAL HOSE REEL is a stainless steel hose reel with either wall or floor mounts (you can remove the reel easily if you need portability) with a capacity of over 300FT (100M) of HOSE/TUBE.
Mounting brackets and Radial hose to Hi-Flo joiner are included.
To help understand the meaning of HOSE vs TUBE, a HOSE has multiple layers in the wall (usually two layers of a plastic sandwiching a braid for additional pressure thresholds) whereas a TUBE has a single layer wall of plastic (in the case of HI-FLOW TUBE, it is PU).
RADIAL Brushes are designed to match the ideal flowrate for maximum performance. This is 1/2GPM / 2LPM (we call this 'HIGH FLOW') for RADIAL and ROCKER BRUSHES and either HIGH FLOW, or LOW FLOW (1/3GPM or 1.5LPM) for RADIAL LITE and RADIAL ULTRA-LITE Brushes.
FLOW RED+ is designed to maximize the flowrate as possible from an RO-DI SYSTEM with both membrane technology, and the internal plumbing design. At 100PSI, FLOW RED+ can deliver 1GPM (3.8LPM) with 70ºF (20ºC) water in. Between the filter, and the brush, the hose has 'resistance' that has a cumulative effect to reduce the flowrate - this is why it is so important to have a high flowrate RO-DI system.
Between the FILTER and the BRUSH, we have two challenges.
GRAVITY (5PSI head per 10FT (3.5M) which we cannot change. The effect of cleaning at 40FT is a 'back-pressure' value of 20PSI.
HOSE WALL RESISTANCE : The thinner the INTERNAL DIAMETER (ID) of a hose, the greater the resistance in the hose. The longer the hose, the greater the cumulative effect of the resistance.
With this in mind, REACH-iT have developed a balanced water delivery hose for long run applications. The outer diameter is 5/8" (16MM), and we can calculate the ideal ID of hose and tube to deliver the target 1/2GPM at the RADIAL BRUSH.
This is the science behind RADIAL HOSE its science and, to make it better, it is UV resistant, non-kink, and high-vis.
