Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a stainless steel fluid path critical for soft wash hose reels?
Softwash chemical mixtures contain sodium hypochlorite (bleach) which rapidly corrodes standard brass, steel, or iron fluid paths. The Rapid hose reel uses a 100% stainless steel internal pipe and swivel to ensure zero corrosion, chemical leaks, or structural degradation over time.
What is the difference between the 12-inch and 18-inch Rapid hose reel sizes?
The main difference is hose holding capacity. The 12-inch model is compact and ideal for shorter hose runs (e.g., 30m-50m of 1/2" hose), while the wider 18-inch model accommodates longer hose lengths (e.g., up to 100m of 1/2" hose) for extended commercial reach.
Can I use the Rapid Softwash Hose Reel for hot water high-pressure washing?
Yes. The reel is rated for pressures up to 5,000 PSI and working temperatures up to 120°C, making it fully multi-purpose for high-pressure hot water washing, cold water cleaning, and low-pressure chemical soft washing.
How do I mount and thread connections onto this hose reel?
The aluminium chassis comes pre-drilled for fast mounting onto vehicle beds, trailers, or custom skids. The pipe thread connection is 1/2" BSP Male x 1/2" BSP Male, and the swivel inlet features 1/2" BSPP Female thread for easy plumbing integration.
