Radial Hose

To help understand the meaning of HOSE vs TUBE, a HOSE has multiple layers in the wall (usually two layers of a plastic sandwiching a braid for additional pressure thresholds) whereas a TUBE has a single layer wall of plastic (in the case of HI-FLOW TUBE, it is PU).

We designed all RADIAL Brushes to match the ideal flowrate for maximum performance.  This is 1/2GPM / 2LPM (we call this 'HIGH FLOW') for RADIAL and ROCKER BRUSHES  and either HIGH FLOW, or LOW FLOW (1/3GPM or 1.5LPM) for RADIAL LITE and RADIAL ULTRA-LITE Brushes. 

We designed FLOW RED+ to maximize the flowrate possible from an RO-DI SYSTEM with both membrane technology, and the internal plumbing design.  At 100PSI, FLOW RED+ can deliver 1GPM (3.8LPM) with 70ºF (20ºC) water in. Between the filter, and the brush, the hose has 'resistance' that has a cumulative effect to reduce the flowrate - this is why it is so important to have a high flowrate RO-DI system.

Between the FILTER and the BRUSH, we have two challenges.  

GRAVITY (5PSI head per 10FT (3.5M) which we cannot change.  The effect of cleaning at 40FT is a 'back-pressure' value of 20PSI.  

HOSE WALL RESISTANCE : The thinner the INTERNAL DIAMETER (ID) of a hose, the greater the resistance in the hose. The longer the hose, the greater the cumulative effect of the resistance. 

With this in mind, REACH-iT have developed a balanced water delivery hose for long run applications. The outer diameter is 5/8" (16MM), and we can calculate the ideal ID of hose and tube to deliver the target 1/2GPM at the RADIAL BRUSH. 

This is the science behind RADIAL HOSE - its science - and, to make it better, it is UV resistant, non-kink, and high-vis.  

If you have a reel, or you do not want a reel, you can invest in RADIAL HOSE only. If you have a hose you like, but not a reel, you can invest in RADIAL REEL only.  If you are looking to extend any of your REACH-iT packs (all with 75FT (25M) HI-FLO TUBE) to 300FT (100M) reach, then we have a super discount on the REEL, HOSE, and another 75FT HI-FLO TUBE to give you a total reach of 300FT - and it all fits easily on the RADIAL REEL.
