I have a Water well 120 gal on board poly tank that has been modified by installing an other mini float valve about 4 inches up from the bottom.
The reason for doing this is so I can do jobs with out carrying a full or partial (more than about 7 gals) tank of water. I can hook a clients garden hose to my in hose which tees to the lower and upper float valves. I also have another Tee in line for a cold water supply at the truck. Or I can pack a full tank that lasts 3-4 jobs depending on size.
Most clients have a garden hose to hook up to. Now and then they don't. It is still a pain in the ass to pull their hose out and re coil it back up when through. For years I have always carried 50 -100 feet just for clean water hook ups. They are also a pain to drain, coil and store after each use. Some like Jim have their own separate reels for storage and take up.
I found this at one of my clients store this last week and am intrigued by the concept of pulling up to the job and if I need water to do the job or fill the tank for the next jobs just pull it out and when done it recoils itself in. I am planing on mounting it from the roof of the van next to my hose reel and the water tank. I think it will save a lot of messing around and time which equates to money.. I paid $134.95 including tax for mine This is what I found on the Internet.
