Should I build a water tank to fill and then pull water from?? Is your machine trailer mounted, or do you drag it around behind you? Either way, keeping a couple hundred feet of supply hose and a couple hundred feet (at least) of pressure hose should keep you from having any problems with most residential jobs. I have 300' of supply hose and 350' of pressure hose on the trailer, and have run into jobs where I've needed every bit of both. I'm planning to add another 200' of pressure hose soon.

0 staudend 14 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 I have 275 feet of pressure hose and 160 in supply, plus two other 50's of pressure that I can hook on if I need them. So far I have not needed more than 275 for any residential work. I have a trailer mounted hydrotech with a tank. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Mike Williamson 198 Report post Posted July 30, 2004 Cool website! Not being critical, but it is Patrick Swayze (unless there is someone else named Patrick Sways?) Do you get a lot of demand for inflatable stuff like that? Looks like you have a wide variety! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Don EMS 14 Report post Posted July 30, 2004 Mike, thanks for pointing out that spelling error. We have 6 new pieces that have not been added to the site yet. There is a HUGH demand for party rental equipment everywhere from $120 b-day partys to $10,000 Corp.partys. We started in 2000 with 4 inflatables and have grown to the 2nd largest in Minnesota. Key is to be a one stop shop. ( we still have a ways to go ) Thanks for the heads up on the website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
