1/2" or 5/8" Delevan and why?

I love it it don't kink up.....its the only way to go if you ask me......

Went on Titan reel easily

Chris, are you still "testing" that swivel, or is it available yet?

When i first started roofs, I was using 5/8 garden hose.  It worked, but WOW was it heavy!  That poly braid is nice and light (and cheap, if you buy from Bob).

I plan to switch to the 5/8 soon. (poly)  I don't do enough roofs to justify .50+ per foot of anything yet.

I would go with the 1/2. The 5/8 seems to be overkill for roof cleaning. I have never used a delevan pump but have used several different shur-flos. They are what they are, a disposable 12v pump, when they wear out you throwem away and get a new one.

Here's a link to my ONE commercial job.  Now how many commercial jobs are in that thread???  Anymore delusional lies???  It's got some of your personal attacks against me from 2 years ago in it also.

There's a lot more threads like that with your ramblings in them as well.  

As far as your garbage truck goes, I have better things to do than drive 90 miles to break 2 windows out of your piece-of-shit truck but several of us knew it was only a matter of time before you accused me or Peerless or Ken or a host of others.

Ramble on, liar!  


Oops, almost forgot....Went to look at this one for a bid today at noon also.

Mel,

I have used the 1/2" fo about a year now.  It works for my purpose.  Like I said, I don't really do enough roofs to spend a bunch on more hoses.

Jason I wasn't commenting on your post.  I was answering the original question of the thread. Sorry for the confusion.

No, Bob HAS, or can get the plastic swivel !!
ANYTHING Titan, Bob can get.
He is one of THE Top Titan Dealers in da world.
Great reels, at great prices, from Bob, shipped to your door, with the great follow up and after care Bob is known for.

Hey, JUST for kicks, HOW Long did the "Ghetto Garden Hose" last you ?
Any "problems" ?
What kind did you use ?

Pressure Washers are USED to small hose I guess, and have a hard time with 5/8 ?

We do not fight our hose.
We pull ALL the hose we plan to use up on the roof from the start.
I head to the BACK of the house, the farthest point away from the ladder/truck.
Then, I pull up some extra hose, just in case.
Next, I order my men to turn on our big pump.
The hose fills, and I spray.
I start at the back, and work to the front, and I will wrap my hose around a vent pipe if need be to keep it on the roof.
Big hose tends to not fall off a roof because it has enough weight to stay put.
Because it is bigger, less chance of getting UNDER the shingles.
3/8 hose can easily slip under shingles, and rip a roof apart, been there, done that, Insurance went UP.
