Looks the dogs danglies Ashley 💪 I have the Grippatank electric reel fitted. 18 months now, never had a problem. Manual reeling in is something I never want to return to.! I Wish you many happy years of reeling in mate...... ☘
@@jesseoconnell4369 yes they are really nice bit of kit I would love one too but they were too expensive , do you follow squeaky clean Dave on TH-cam? If not check him out , he has tutorials on how to build your own that's how I did mine cost me £50 pound and its well worth it!
Hi @Ben Shields thanks very much. Will definitely check him out! Always wanted one but couldn't afford it and didn't know how to DIY it. Thanks for the tip, hopefully I can get it working!! 😁
Nice one, that’s great. One of the great things about this is it’s mostly plastic which reduces risk of corrosion, and belt driven, so that also won’t rust. But yeah, cheaper to build your own.😃👍🏼
Another great idea well done Ashley quick question how many liters is that tank on your Van noise when is nearly empty other thing to telling you about that White pads the problem is when your put a lot pressure the pad couldn't hold that amount of water and the end damage and you get two i have been trying in the past what went wrong a lot of water to heavy for this ...!!!
Not too much. I’ve only been doing WFP for a relatively short time after switching over from being mostly trad. I like to mix things up with different services too, partly so I’m using different muscles.💪🏼😃👍🏼
Do yourself a huge favour and get a roller guide fitted to rear bumper. I use a hose lock guide on my 3D reel. Makes life so much easier on reeling in and out.
Or even better cut a hole in the floor of van and install a roller guide inside and out, allowing you to shut and lock your van doors whilst working 👍🏻
I have one of these reels no problems with mine. I wish the motor was a tad faster. But its a good bit of kit. Were do you get them black things that protects your fittings?
I would not be without my power reel. What I normally do if I change the hose is find myself a car park with loads of space to fit new. A motor will work on reverse polarity to alter the way it reels !
It was all done by Varitech Systems when it was all fitted. The is a split charge relay that connects to the vans alternator to charge the batteries without draining the van battery.😃👍🏼
Great video as always, for me I can't see the cost/benefit ratio being supportive of buying this...but that's me. As always though I really appreciate your videos 😁
I know what you mean, it does seem like a bit of a luxury rather than a necessity. I am enjoying using it though, and it’s making an impact on my day.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I'm new just started my business, I think I've seen all your videos, huge help in me setting out, I'm sure I'll look at these again when I've filled my coffers with cash! 😁😁😁 Thanks AE. Ian
@@aemackintosh Just a quick thought. By reversing the polarity you are switching and fusing the 0V. So if the 0v wire gets shorted to chassis the reel will run and wont have a fuse!!!!! Add a fuse in the other wire connected to the battery at minimum. That way you are protected by a fuse no matter what. Without a fuse in the wire connected to 12v on battery you are risking a fire in the even of a problem!!!
@@aemackintosh And funny to, I to had a delivery yesterday. My new 13hp Honda pressure washer came, so excited. I now have 3600 pis at 21lts per minute😊😊😊
Where do you get the bumper that you fit to protect the EZ Snap fitting? I got a twin stack stainless reel master from purefreedom last week. My shoulder feels so much better
They are set up to be charged by the vans alternator, but I’ve also got a charging unit that plugs into the mains to give them a boost every so often.😃👍🏼
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services Honestly those type of fittings are a pain and I use to spend constantly replacing them . My slick connects last me 6 months are a time 👌
Looks smart, but personally would have gone for the Pure Freedom electric reel, better quality. Saying which you could have turned both your existing reels electric for £100. I DIYed my pure freedom manual reel a couple of years ago, never let me down once.
Ash.. Help needed.. I just received my gardiner back pack.. Straight out the box.. It has a orange lead with a metal female coupling on the end.. I put water in.. To try it.. But nothing coming out would the female coupling have to be attached to the male couple for the water to flow out... I haven't got one of those yet... Also the motor just stopped...gardiner aren't answering the phone blaming covid...?
@@whitewater-drivewayandpati3092 thanks... Your right...you would think they would include instructions..must be a common problem for a new user... I appreciate your answer...
The button will fail! I’ve got two and both went at the same time..hence the spare! Tbf they have admitted it is rubbish and there working on a new better button.
How and why you’ve not had an electric reel?? O yes you where waiting for someone to give one to you 😂 Looking forward to see what you think. I’ve been holding off as not sure on the belt driven motor slipping off! I have Grippatank electric reel, would buy another but would have to take out another mortgage !! Almost to 10k subscribers 👍👍
Jordan at Waterworks window cleaning (the company who makes them) has now switched back to the old style yellow switches as he has been having lots of returns on the red push button. I actually prefer the yellow box switch as its easy to hang up and easier to press in. I have had mine now for about a month. If you specify before you buy they will supply the hose fitting to either the left or right. I bought 2 and they mirrored them so both water fittings were facing towards the outsides of the van. Love the power up 3ds.

Thanks!😎👍🏼
I made my own DIY electric reel and love it! No breakages yet after 3 month! Nice video Ashley!
Any guides on how you did it? Would love one but can't afford a power up! Lovely bit of kit tho!

Very smart ❤ it was looking at this myself worth the money and will pay for itself in time saved.
😎👍🏼
I love my powerup 3D reel.. saves my shoulder from possible wear and tear! Doesn't use too much power either, win win 👍
I’m actually liking it more than I thought I would.😃👍🏼
Great bit of kit !!! Had mine a few month now and its brilliant 👏
😎👍🏼
You’ll love it mate, you’ll wonder how you did without it! 👌🏼I’ve had mine 4 months or so now and not a single issue with it.
You must be loaded mate....... can you buy me one?? 🤣🤣
Nice one. I have to say, it’s been really great so far.😃👍🏼
Ben Cavanagh 😉
Nice delivery to receive Ashley.. all you need to do now is reverse their name plate on the hose reel plates.. 👍😀
FlashTechEngineering Yeah, I need to have a look at that.😃👍🏼
Looks great bit of kit
Chris Cars Yeah, I’m loving it so far.😃👍🏼
Good video mate looks like is worth the money.
Thanks! It’s been great so far.😃👍🏼
I got mine about a month and half ago, amazing reel, 6mm hose on it.
Nice one. It’s been great so far.😃👍🏼
Nice looking reel power up
It’s been great!🤩👍🏼
Great vid mate 👍🏻
Neil Palmer Thanks.😃👍🏼
Looks a tidy set up mate 😎👌
Thanks.😃👍🏼

Ok, thanks. My tank is 650 litres. There is a whole playlist about my van on my channel, and a link in the description to this video.😃👍🏼
when you change wires round did you put fuse holder on blue wire
No, I just left it exactly how it was, literally just swapped the wires over.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley when you use the pole for all your window cleaning do you have any problem with pains in your neck and shoulders?
Not too much. I’ve only been doing WFP for a relatively short time after switching over from being mostly trad. I like to mix things up with different services too, partly so I’m using different muscles.💪🏼😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thanks for your reply Ashley.
Ashley where do you get bumper disc?
It came as part of my original setup from Varitech Systems.😎👍🏼
Do yourself a huge favour and get a roller guide fitted to rear bumper. I use a hose lock guide on my 3D reel. Makes life so much easier on reeling in and out.
Or even better cut a hole in the floor of van and install a roller guide inside and out, allowing you to shut and lock your van doors whilst working 👍🏻
Westwood Cleaning Services With the 6mm hose I find I can shut the doors with the hose between and lock the doors.😃👍🏼
I have one of these reels no problems with mine. I wish the motor was a tad faster. But its a good bit of kit. Were do you get them black things that protects your fittings?
Luca Varitech Systems.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh direct link please as I can't find it.
Cheers
I would not be without my power reel.
What I normally do if I change the hose is find myself a car park with loads of space to fit new.
A motor will work on reverse polarity to alter the way it reels !
Hi Ashely, did you have to disconnect the main van battery to connect up to the rear battery? Or just connected straight in?
It was all done by Varitech Systems when it was all fitted. The is a split charge relay that connects to the vans alternator to charge the batteries without draining the van battery.😃👍🏼
That's nice! I need an electric reel. May I ask what the inner diameter of your hose is?
Jorge Chavez It’s 6mm hose.😃👍🏼

That’s great! Thanks for your comments. I am so pleased to hear that my channel helps people out. I wish you all the best with your business plans.😃👍🏼
Hi iv just noticed the protectors you have on the pipes were your conector goes whats it called im looking for some bit not a clue what they called
Philip Sommeling They are from Varitech Systems. Not sure what they are called actually.😃👍🏼
Another great vid. Where do you get the hose coupling protector from mate?
It came with my original setup from Varitech Systems.😃👍🏼
Can’t find the fitting protector on there site..
Craig is going to be so jealous :-) It will be good to see how you get on and if you find it saves any time or muscle power.
😆👍🏼

Interesting. Thanks for that.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I am so glad to be able to share some advice with you after the huge amount of knowledge you have shared. Thanks fro your vids.
Much appreciated! Us windies have to stick together.😜👍🏼
Who's the company that does the remote control reel, I've seen window cleaners with the controller clipped on their belts, just awesome.
cns worx I’m not sure about that. Sounds like a handy gadget though.😃👍🏼
You can buy remotes on amazon there about £20 i have one on my diy reel. I dont carry the fob with me incase I accidentally push the button.
@@aemackintosh And funny to, I to had a delivery yesterday. My new 13hp Honda pressure washer came, so excited. I now have 3600 pis at 21lts per minute😊😊😊
Will the buttons to real in the reel be on back wards
Where do you get the bumper that you fit to protect the EZ Snap fitting?
I got a twin stack stainless reel master from purefreedom last week. My shoulder feels so much better
The bumpers originally came from Varitech Systems with the rest of my setup.😃👍🏼
How come you didn’t fit it to the other side so it’s facing the front?
Because it’s my left hand door that opens first and the position of the water inlet on the reel.😃👍🏼
how do you charge your batterys in the back
They are set up to be charged by the vans alternator, but I’ve also got a charging unit that plugs into the mains to give them a boost every so often.😃👍🏼
I thought you had the pure freedom electric reels already?
No. I have to say, I’m actually loving it so far.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh looks a good bit of kit, im looking at getting the pure freedom electric reels: although yours look awesome for sure 👍 😎
was that 6mm or 8mm were was the hose from thanks tim
6mm hose. It’s much lighter and easier to manage. It also came from WCW.😃👍🏼
U should use slick connects last for ever and less hassle
I might have to give them a try.😃👍🏼
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services Honestly those type of fittings are a pain and I use to spend constantly replacing them .

My pure freedom reel arrived today , looking forward to no longer bringing those hoses , enjoy
It’s definitely great having less strain on the arms and shoulders.😃👍🏼

Yes, the female connector will not let any water out unless connected. The pump should stop as it has detected a dead end.
I think you have your answer. You will get the hang of it.😜👍🏼

I like the fitting protector, better than the ball things where is that from ash?
It’s from Varitech, came with my old reel.😃👍🏼
Seems they don't sell anymore shame as it looks good
grant hollingwort
That’s a shame,
Be careful if it snags then comes free. Getting hit with the fitting at that speed hurts
😆 I will look out for it!😃👍🏼
Good vid that bud. Go tubeless though that will be the best thing you ever do
Lee Poulter Thanks!😃👍🏼
Another freebie?😄👍
Brian Barber Essential van upgrade.😃👍🏼
I got 2 a weeks ago absolutely brilliant but watch the push button not water proof mine got wet with rain stoped working
Philip Sommeling I think that’s why they sent a spare.😃👍🏼

Would look better with the 3D face plate on the outside.
I know, it’s a shame about that. I was actually wondering if it’s possible to sway it over to the other side. I might have a look at that.😃👍🏼
👍🏻
Ryan Fewster 😎👍🏼
Drop Me a message on Facebook...I’ll send you pics of the issues I’ve had with mine...easy to sort out though
It WILL happen to yours mate
Thanks for your help. I’ve had it for a week now and I haven’t had any issues so far, but I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for your tips.😃👍🏼
