So I finally got sick of my 100 foot air hose fresh water supply line wrapped around a hook at the front of the TM

I had a 17.00 air hose reel from Harbor Freight that I used for the power cords fon my ETM.

Thanks to ACE QD idea I added a QD and walla no leaks. The swivel that was on there leaked like crazy of course it was designed for air. Now the hard part were the heck do I put it?

If you are using a fresh water tank, mount it out the rear door so that you can draw from either side of the van.

If not using a tank, you want it near the front of the tnt....maybe from the ceiling.

So were do you put your water hose Devon? I have a 100 footer wrapped around that hook. I guess it wouldn't be that bad if it was a 50 footer.

No on board water Mil. Unfortunately it doesn't fit anywhere in the front of the TNT or on top

I meant my pressure line Mo. I have a water tank and just fill it as needed. I really dont hassle with the hose....If I have a commercial job or a crazy day...I may throw the hose on...but for the most part I dont have a water hose.

I explained this once but when I hit send it ditched all my efforts into cyber world.



I like the air hose as a water hose but I just wont benefit from it...I did three jobs the other day back to back and had water left....once or twice I had to use the customers....but Im enjoying no hose.

I've always rolled up my air hose supply on my vac hose reel.  Sure it takes a min to do, but keeps me from needing another reel taking up space.

I have a 100' 3/8 air hose. I normally don't need that much, but have it when I do need it sometimes.

Maybe just use the customer's hose....you are already using their water, don't they keep their hose coiled up by the spigot?

Yes but not always. I think I may go with a retractable reel

Mo, I've got a couple hundred hours on the same "live" reel with 3/8 air supply hose for a water supply hose and it works great...so far...no leaks.

sCool thats good to know steamer.

The only way I would be able to make space for it would be to move the vac reel backwards and bolt the fresh reel right in front of it but that's not going to happen.

Pressure hose and wash down tool or even just an in-line sprayer wand.
