FAQs
Does the hose reel come with a hose?
Yes, it includes a 25m multi-purpose hose, along with a tap connector, hose end fittings, and a nozzle.
Can I leave the hose reel outside all year round?
It is recommended to store the hose reel in a dry place, especially during winter or freezing temperatures, to prolong its lifespan. Ensure the hose is drained before storage.
How do I attach the reel to the wall?
The reel clips onto an included wall bracket. You will need to securely fix the bracket to a suitable wall using appropriate fixings for your wall type (fixings are not included).
Is the hose length sufficient for a large garden?
The reel comes with a 25m hose, which is suitable for small to medium-sized gardens, patios, and balconies. For very large gardens, you may need an extension hose or a longer reel system.
Does the hose retract automatically?
No, this is a manual rewind hose reel. You will need to use the easy-rewind handle to wind the hose onto the reel.
What is the weight of the hose reel?
The hose reel weighs approximately 11.684 pounds.
Do I need any tools to set it up?
The hose reel itself is fully assembled and ready for use. If you choose to wall mount it, you will need appropriate tools and fixings suitable for your wall type to install the wall bracket.
Troubleshooting
Hose is difficult to rewind smoothly.
Ensure the hose is not kinked. Guide the hose gently through the viewing window as you turn the handle. Check for any obstructions on the reel.
Water pressure is low.
Check that the tap connector is securely fitted to the tap and the hose. Ensure the nozzle is not set to a low-flow setting. Inspect the hose for any leaks or blockages.
Hose reel won't clip securely to the wall bracket.
Ensure the wall bracket is installed correctly and securely. Check that the reel is aligned properly with the bracket's clipping mechanism.
Hose appears to be tangling during rewind.
Slow down the rewinding process and use the viewing window to ensure the hose is layering evenly. Ensure the hose is fully extended before starting to rewind to prevent internal tangles.
