Downstreaming Question?

[propressurewashing 17]

I am looking into a new rig which does not have a stainless hose reel...if I downstream through it with a house wash strength mix will it ruin the reel and hoses? I also have an injector I built into one of my guns and I never have a problem with it but I have to bring my mix with me....

What are your experiences?

Why would it ruin a hose reel? I've never had a problem, and you won't either -here's why: Since you're running chems through the reel and hose, all it takes is simply shutting off the injector and running water through the system. You will do this every time you use the injector when rinsing, so no problem.

I figure it would corrode the reel the way if corrodes qc and tips and such.... I guess if I run enough fresh water at the end it won't be a big deal.

Even a steel reel will last 2 or 3 years, depending on use. It won't be a problem Dan. Go ahead and change your QC's to stainless steel ones.

It would all depend on the Chems?

The reels I have for downstreaming are not stainless and are both over 2yrs old. Rinse between jobs. I use a stainless/aluminum titan reel for my roof mix. I also rinse that between jobs.
