Abstract: A hose and reel system that includes a reel assembly that is rotatably mounted within a housing. The reel assembly includes an accumulator drum having an inner chamber and the drum is coupled at opposite ends to disc elements. The housing can include a hose guide element for guiding a hose that is spooled about the outer surface of the drum and, if desired, a pair of mandible elements.

Abstract: A spraying system for applying an application fluid having an induction manifold, a hose reel subsystem, a pump element disposed between the manifold and the hose reel subsystem, an application fluid subsystem having a plurality of reservoirs and associated valves, a fluid regulating device coupled to an input end of the induction manifold for regulating the amount of a first fluid supplied thereto, a timer element coupled to the fluid regulating device for selectively activating the fluid regulating device via an activation signal, and a controller for controlling operation of the timer element. The controller generates a control signal in response to user instructions and in response to the control signal the timer element generates the activation signal. In response to the activation signal, the fluid regulating element ceases introduction of the first fluid into the manifold and introduces a second fluid therein.
