Is it just easier to use with two swivels or is there another reason to have them at both ends?
That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.Years ago I had a lady spray herself in the face (I had one swivel on the hose) because she was trying to get the hose untangled. She was not happy.
I can sympathize with that lady! I don't know how many times I've sprayed my legs and feet doing that!Years ago I had a lady spray herself in the face (I had one swivel on the hose) because she was trying to get the hose untangled. She was not happy.
My guess would be that your hoses are too long and are wearing through where they drag on the ground.Jeff L said:I tend to find my bursts at the bottom of the curve as it hangs on the wall.
I put a 3 ft. spiral plastic wrap around the curve of the hose where it drags along the ground.My guess would be that your hoses are too long and are wearing through where they drag on the ground.
MEP,You'll want a 1' "swivel saver" hose between the boom and the top swivel, otherwise the lateral pull will wear the swivel out faster.
I like that our booms will flex a full 90? so that I can change a hose without a ladder at all. I use a quick-disconnect just below the swivel saver so I can swap out a hose in a couple of seconds.
