Don Phelps 85 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 There is no question in your statements. Are you wanting ideas on how to use the 12 volt pump and xjet simultaneously? Or are you looking for suggestions on what hose reel to buy? What am I missing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl 14 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 sorry about that yes how could i use them simultaneously and what hardware do i need. I want to be able to wash from the ground or if i need to apply the chem to a walkable roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry B. 4 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 Basically you just hook up a shurflow pump to it and run your hose up to your x jet. You will have to prime it while your on the ground though or it will stop pumping. I'd also suggest having a ball valve on the draw line so you can shut it off when you want without having to climb back down to do it. I've got something very similiar mounted on my trailer rig and in one of my vans. Give me a call if you need more details than that. It's pretty easy to set up though.

Henry B. 4 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 I could but it wouldn't really help much and the way it's laid out on my rig most of the stuff is hidden behind my sighn. All it is, is a hose reel, 45 gallon tank and a deckster pump system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don Phelps 85 Report post Posted September 13, 2005 Isn't that interesting...... Anyway, hopefully Mel (PWKid) will speak up here. He mentioned to me on the phone yesterday that he had tried this before with a considerable length of hose and it worked out well for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PWkid 79 Report post Posted September 13, 2005 I tried using an x-jet with 200' of 3/8 hose hooked to a 3.0 gpm shureflo and it worked out well.It was a better option than carrying buckets or a roll around cart.Unfortunately the x-jet just doesn't work out well for me but some people love them.I am a downstreamer guy.
