Full details
This 15-meter flat food-grade hose on a reel is designed for motorhome and camping enthusiasts who need a compact, safe, and reliable water solution. Its key benefit is the space-saving flat design that winds neatly onto a reel, making storage effortless during travel. A potential caveat is its 15-meter length, which may be insufficient for some campsite setups. Key features include high flexibility reinforced PVC, suitability for drinking water, and materials free from cadmium and silicone.

Troubleshooting
Hose is difficult to wind onto the reel
Ensure the hose is completely drained of water. Try to lay the hose flat as you wind it to help it fit neatly.
Water flow is restricted
Check both ends of the hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure connections are secure and fully opened.
Hose develops a persistent kink
Unwind the hose fully and lay it flat in the sun for a short period to help it regain its flexibility. Avoid forcing kinks.
Hose reel feels stiff
Ensure there is no debris caught in the reel mechanism. If persistent, a light application of silicone lubricant on the reel spindle might help (ensure it doesn't contact the hose interior).
