Can this reel be used for water. The pressure is well under 250 PSI.

It is designed for air, but I don't think water would hurt it. Just check the preasure rating and and don't go over. Good luck

I'm only guessing here, but it seems like it should be able to handle water instead of air. I'd be careful not to ever let water freeze in the hose or especially the drum assembly--it might rupture if frozen water expanded inside.

It can.... just make sure you unreel the entire hose or it will swell up and jam your reel!

It should work very well as i used it on my 2700 PSI system and was very pleased with results. Regards

That should be able to do that no problem. I was casting in Jetty Park Florida and was using some very heavy lead sinkers, I'd say around a ounce in total weight. I have a Okuma Avenger spinning reel the second biggest one I could get and had 35 pound braid on it, and had no issues. I'd imagine with the right reel, and proper line, you'd have no problem casting those weights.

This reel is not very strong to hold a garden hose. It's designed to hold electric cord. I would purchase a reel designed to hold a heavy garden hose.

I have used it on valve core removal on liquid line pressures of 300psi. With no loss. It should handle 30hg of vacuum

If it is able to monitor water pressure perhaps it could handle air. There are most likely switches made for that type of application rather than using this well pressure switch The switch is shipped for 30-50 lb regulation. That may also be a problem used in another application. Just my thoughts on all this. Good luck.

No; I have found the best hose reel I have used. Several plastic reels broke after only one years use. Water flow is good since hose is properly reeled and unreeled from the drum

It should work fine. I have approx 50psi on my supply line and the float closes it no problem.

There is no min psi, but these will restrict your flow and usually drop your psi anywhere from 7-10 psi. So if you have low pressure to begin with, you would not want to use a cartridge filter system. Let me know exactly what you are wanting to filter out of your water. Give us a call 785-735-9769 AFW Filters and we have many other solutions for you.

yes, but if u use reel for fresh water suggest stren or trilene line. these lines are better suited for fresh water usage

I would say yes. Just be careful not to wind it so tight that it restricts airflow. You need to thread enough line through the hole in the side before you start winding the excess onto the reel. This reel holds 100 feet of extension cord - that would equate to multiple hundreds of feet of standard tubing. You might consider something else such as Bayco K-150 Cord Wrap.

As long as you don't put extreme pressure on the rod and use all the stress on the line it can be used. The rod is very fragile and cannot be used with heavy lures... Good luck

Yes. This reel can be used in fresh water or salt, I have had no problems with this reel, just keep in mind that if you use it in salt water make sure to use fresh water to rince it off, it will last a life time.

The reel is enamel painted steel. So it may rustThe springs are steel so they may rustThe cord is heavy duty but still should not be in the rain.If you are somewhere without salt air or a lot of rain it should be fine

Actually, if wound very carefully (which I do) the reel can hold 125 feet of 5/8" diameter hose such as Wal*Mart sells: NeverKink Heavy Duty Ultra Flexible Series 2000. Hoses can vary in actual outside diameter even if they are rated 1/2", 5/8" or 3/4". If your hose is 1/2" and light duty, this reel MIGHT hold it if would very carefully, but I doubt it.

Absolutely. At 40psi and above, the system works very well. If you have more prefilter system(s) before the Hydrologic , then you would need a higher psi.
