Full details

Its primary benefit is the seamless integration of a hose reel and storage unit that keeps your space tidy, though users should note that its 12.5-meter capacity is best suited for smaller areas rather than large-scale landscape irrigation.

FAQs

Can I replace the hose with a longer one?

The box is designed specifically for the 12.5 m hose included. Exceeding this capacity may hinder the rewinding mechanism.

Does it need to be mounted to a wall?

No, the MoveMatic is designed as a portable, freestanding unit for maximum flexibility.

Is the sprayer nozzle adjustable?

Yes, the included Classic Sprayer allows for adjustable spray patterns to suit different plant watering needs.

Can I leave this outside all year round?

While the materials are durable, it is recommended to store the unit indoors or in a shed during winter to protect against frost.

What is the total weight of the unit?

The unit is designed to be lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry with one hand via the integrated handle.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not retract smoothly

Check the hose length for any sharp kinks or blockages; ensure the path between the unit and the tap is clear of obstacles.

Leaking at the tap connection

Verify that the tap connector is securely tightened and that the rubber gasket inside the adapter is seated correctly.

  • Space-saving design ideal for small patios and balconies

Cons

  • Limited to a 12.5-meter reach

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the MoveMatic is straightforward: attach the 1.5 m feeder hose to your outdoor tap using the included adapter, and ensure the main unit is placed on a stable, flat surface. To maintain the device, ensure the hose is completely drained before storing it away during winter months to prevent freezing damage. Keep the reel area free of debris and occasionally wipe down the exterior casing with a damp cloth to maintain the mechanism's performance.
