The line on this reel is 330Ft long. The reel in time is from 4 hours to 15 hours or anywhere in between. It doesn’t need to be drained after use, only when put into long term storage.
How much water pressure is being used and what type of setup and/or pump is used maintain the pressure that supplies the feeder hose on the Kifco unit that you attached to the water supply line? Does the Kifco add or assist with water pressure or is it mainly a hose reel? Looks great and thanks for sharing!
JLM_Texas I’m on municipal water supply with around 150psi. The Kifco B130 reels I use need a minimum of 40psi. I don’t use any boosters pumps but they are available from Kifco or you can add your own.
