Can I use this for a water hose in my garage? I want to use it to spray my car off everyday. I'll use quick-connects and blow the water out with air.

I can't see why you couldn't. The hose is a little stiffer than garden hose but if all the fittings have sealant and hold air there shouldn't be a problem with water. I don't know if I would leave water in the reel because it may cause corrosion in the fittings but if u ran air through it when you were done it shouldn't cause a problem

It works great, but it needs to be hooked up to a compressor hose. It's great for light-medium duty.

It is a water hose and it came apart the first time I tried it. Also, I had another one and it does not have the pressure that the standard garden hose has. So it has limited use,but I can see it for motor homes or light watering of plants and flowers.

Don't see why not. For small projects/hobby-painting or limited duration I think it would be great! Again, for industrial/commercial apps, or heavy-duty use on a daily basis, I (personally) would go with more muscle. Never tried it though as I have, and use electric power sprayers for the type of work I do (homeowner-decks, fence, yard ornaments.) A sweet compressor though...that should be effective for limited duty.

Sure can! I use mine for wood work. The only thing to think about is water getting through your air hose and dripping on your wood. Most times it doesn't matter.

Not sure, but found out that the Home Depot close to me does not sell air hoses with the same quick disconnects. Have to say though - great machine - used it for off roading in the desert to air my tires after airing them down.

I dont know , it pumps air like the hose at a gas station . If you are pumping water out of something by using compressed air you could use it but Im sure water should not be introduced into the pump .

It connects to your outdoor tap or your garden hose. One tip - you'd think that opening up the water full blast would provide a better myst... well that's wrong - I found that the wide open tap generates larger fog droplets that tend to soak everything under the emitter. It's better to keep the tap open just enough that you get a myst generated and leave it at that. I like the fog but don't want to be soaked and neither do your guests (most likely!).

The compressor should work fine for blowing out lines. you can set the pressure using the regulator based on your plastic water line ratings. It has quick connect fittings so you can buy an appropriate adapter for your use.

I bought a hose from Harbor Freight and I also purchased a couple of quick disconnects from Amazon. I installed one quick disconnect on the hose and the other on the airbrush. To hook up to the compressor you may need a 1/4 or 3/8 to 1/8 inch reducer that you should be able to find at Home Depot or Low's in brass. The hose should have a 1/4" fitting on both ends.

It really doesn't have that kind of throughput for air tools. I think you'll just overheat it or plain run out of air because the compressor can't keep up. You can run a large nail gun because it's intermittent use. I blow out the garage but, I don't keep my finger on the trigger full-time.

Hi Travis, I don't use the hose right now. I work exclusively with Acrylics, and the filter works great to eliminate fumes and overspray. I will be working in a basement eventually, and I doubt I will ever use the hose. But, if you use enamels or paints with toxic fumes, it would be much more important to vent the spray booth out a window or under a door. This would be especially true if you have an open heat source, such as a kerosene heater or ventless gas heater.

No. It fits on the end of a regular garden hose and is designed for producing a gentle mist/fog. We use it in a greenhouse to keep the humidity up. There's really no use I can think of for connecting it to a pressure washer.

I have been using outside on my garage. I have had very little overspray. I wouldn't use any sprayer close to cars but if you are a bit away this sprayer should be fine. Watch the wind! I love the sprayer and am thrilled with the purchase.

I only use these on my hose with no quick connects...those things always give me trouble like leaks etc...I think these valves are excellent....cause the cheaper type--plastic etc...always seem to leak at the thread connection....

NO, the fittings are designed to be used with 3/4" Garden Hose connections. Could you adapt the fittings for air? I suppose you could be I've always found that air will leak where water will not. Plus I'm not sure the increased pressure of air would be smart. ie: Water 30-50psi Air up to 120psi.

in theory, yes. but realize that the water output isn't enough for a water spray on a car. i mean, you can collect the 0PPM water in a bucket and spray it, but not enough water output to be effective directly from the water filter. :)
