Kifco recommends an inlet pressure of 127 PSI for my unit. I only get 100
with turbine in place retrieving hose (108 disengaged). Remove turbine and
I get 115. Unit runs WAY better. AMAZING. I can't go higher pressure on my
plastic underground supply lines. Thus, my query on another way to
retrieve hose.

Sounds like you need a booster pump- you're way low on pressure. Most of the
water reels we sell are spec'd with a booster that mounts on the machine and
has automatic controls to shut it off at the end of a run or if the water
supply runs dry. Micro Rain has a stand alone pump available, don't know
about Kifco. Since you would be boosting pressure after the supply lines,
there is no risk of damaging them.

No he doesn't.
