Product Information
Full details
The Hozelock Hose Reel is designed for home gardeners who need a reliable, space-saving solution for managing up to 30 metres of garden hose. This compact and lightweight unit provides the primary benefit of tangle-free storage and ease of mobility, making it ideal for standard residential plots. While it is highly durable for typical outdoor use, prospective buyers should note that it is manually operated rather than automatic, requiring the user to wind the hose back onto the reel after use.

What is the diameter of the included hose?

How do I store it during winter?

Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the tap connection
Check that the rubber washer is inside the tap connector and tighten the connection firmly to the faucet.
Hose is difficult to wind
Ensure the hose is not kinked or twisted at the base, and wind it evenly across the drum width rather than piling it in the center.
Low water pressure
Check the entire length of the hose for kinks or blockages, and ensure the tap is fully opened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: attach the threaded tap connector to your outdoor faucet, snap on the hose connector, and ensure the hose is fully connected. The system is compatible with standard 12.5mm (1/2 inch) hoses. For maintenance, it is recommended to drain the hose of residual water before winter storage to prevent freezing damage. Keep the reel out of prolonged, intense direct sunlight during the off-season to preserve the plastic housing, and occasionally check that the connections are free of debris or grit.
