What would you value more

[daniel@procarpet]

Lots of hose on your truck, or less hose on a smaller reel giving you more space? How much hose do you realistically need to carry anyways on a daily basis? If you have a larger job come up, why not a little extra for that job and when no longer in use take it off the truck? I think I could work for a year and maybe once or twice need more than 150' of hose. Think I am going to install a 200' reel in my new truck. I don't see the need for 300'. If I need extra, I will figure it out.

a 75 was perfect with two 50's behind it..

I always have 200'. Use 100 ' most of the time, maybe twice a week 150'. Once or twice a month 200'. Twice a year for 200'

 

[Scott S.]

Twice a year 250'. Sorry

I use 300 feet more than I would like.

Not every day (TG) but enough to have to carry it with me.

We carry 300 ft on our carpet trucks 100ft hanging. On the water trucks 200 ft, if we think we might need more we will throw a few extra sections on the truck. We do have a flood pumper on the water trucks, so if it gets too far we can use the flood pumper.

We had a mall earlier in the week and it was just too risky to string hose in the way of the public so the used the flood pumper to extract. The went back at 6:00 AM to clean the floors with a Turbo tool when there was no traffic in the way.

400-500 foot hose run 4 days a week, my new truck is going to have a 600 foot capacity.

Wow that's killer!

100' 2.5", 150' 2", all in 25' sections with Flash Cuffs. Much easier to handle 25' sections, especially the 2.5".

 

[jcooper]

I've got 50 of 2.5", 100' of 2" and 50' hanging. 150' is whet I use most.

200' reel with 50' of 2.5 will only get 100 of 2" hose.

 

[dealtimeman]

Just have a section or two of 50 ft sections hanging or crammed behind or on the top or normally it accessible space on he truck.

 

[mirf]

400' run, residential ? That a long run.

 

[Dmreed4311]

I carry 250ft of hose once or twice a month I need it. most hose runs are 150ft. rarely do I just need 100ft

 

[Desk Jockey]

I agree most homes are 100-125 ft
