Wondering how many of you guys running 200' of hose on reels have to pull all the hose from the reel when doing something that requires maybe 100' only? I ask because if I don't pull all the hose off, the hose left on the reel loosens up from the trigger being on/off and makes a big loose mess of the uncoiled hose. My electric Titan 5518 reel didn't come with a pin lock, I think they used to? Either way though, pinning the reel in place doesn't prevent the hose from loosening up from pulling trigger on and off.
Any tricks for dealing with this?
*I've seen the discussion about it being best to pull all the hose from the reel vs letting some on the reel. I don't care if it's good for the hose or not,..sometimes 200' is just too much to deal with. I like the continuous length and couplers not getting caught, so using a shorter hose on the reel and adding sections only when needed isn't an option. Just wondering if there are any tricks to stop the loosening of the hose. If not, I'll just deal with it by pulling it all off.
Thanks,
Jeff
