Troubleshooting
Hose does not retract when button is pressed
Verify the battery is charged and properly inserted into the housing. Ensure the remote trigger is within range and the hose is not trapped by an external object.
Hose retracts unevenly or jams
Pull the hose out fully and inspect for knots or kinks. Re-engage the retraction, allowing the internal guide to realign the hose layers.
Water leaking at the connection point
Check that all system parts and O-rings are seated correctly. Ensure the connecting hose is tightly fastened to the tap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a stable, flat wall surface that can support the 12.8 kg weight of the unit. Use the provided wall-mount kit to secure the bracket firmly. Ensure the unit is positioned near an outdoor water tap, using the included connecting hose. For the retraction mechanism, the 18V battery must be fully charged before the first use.
Care instructions include:
- Periodically wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth.
- During extreme winter conditions, while frost-resistant, it is often recommended to disconnect the water supply and ensure the hose is drained.
- Check the hose periodically for debris or sharp objects that might have been picked up during use.
- Store the battery indoors if the unit will not be used for an extended period during deep winter.
