What type of hose do you use and is it on a reel? Do you use a live reel for this?
I currently hang it over a hook in the back but it kinks reel bad in this cold weather.

It ain't cheap, but lasts for ever.

3/4" black goodyear hose is what we sell here.most coil it and hang it. Black is best imho so you or your tech's don't use it for anything else.

We use 3/4" blue heavy duty 75' long and store it on a hose reel in the van. We use it to fill the fresh water tank and for the auto pump out. Just have to remember to flush it out after APO use. We use it on 75% of our jobs. One of our USPs is we bring our own water, and haul the dirty water away unless there is an authorized dumping (sewer tap) on the property.

You use the same hose? I wouldn't suggest that to anyone myself. Blue means good black means bad, that's how I train my customers. Mixing them up after a really nasty sewer job could be disastrous. Just seems logical to me but that's just my opinion.

Cut the threaded fitting off the end of your apo hose! I had one hang up in a joint in a laundry drain in a wall a few years ago. Had to cut into the wall and drain line to get the hose out. (And repair the damage, of course.)

WTF is wrong with you Marty? Never mind don't answer that I really don't want to know. How about you STFU and order the Baby Blue already. :mrgreen:
