Product Information

Full details

The Alfresia Garden Hose Reel is designed for homeowners who want a convenient and tidy solution for watering plants, cleaning cars, and general garden maintenance. Its key benefit is the automatic rewind feature and 180° swivel, which prevent kinking and tangling, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is its weight (13.25 kg), which might make frequent repositioning challenging for some users. This comprehensive kit includes a 15-meter hose, wall mount, connection hose, adjustable spray gun with 7 settings, and quick-release brass attachments, all built with water and UV-resistant materials for durability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the hose made of?

The product description does not specify the exact hose material but states all components are water and UV resistant for lasting use.

Is the wall mount hardware included?

The kit includes the wall mount itself, but not the screws or wall plugs for installation, as these need to be suitable for your specific wall type.

How do I clean the hose reel?

You can wipe down the casing and hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product information provided does not specify the warranty period.

Can I replace the spray gun with a different model?

Yes, the hose uses standard quick-release brass attachments, so you should be able to connect most universal spray guns or accessories.

What are the dimensions of the reel?

The dimensions of the reel are 54.5 x 28 x 49 cm.

Is the hose suitable for drinking water?

The product information does not state if the hose is food-grade or suitable for drinking water. It is intended for general garden use.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not rewind automatically

Ensure the hose is not excessively tangled inside the reel. Try pulling the hose out a bit further and then gently tugging to engage the locking mechanism before releasing it to retract. Check that the reel casing is securely mounted and not obstructed.

Water leaks at the connection point

Check that the brass attachments are fully secured. Inspect the rubber washer inside the connection hose fitting and ensure it is present and not damaged. Tighten the connection to the tap and the reel.

Spray gun settings are not working correctly

Rotate the nozzle firmly to cycle through all settings. Clean the nozzle tip to remove any dirt or mineral buildup that might be obstructing the flow.

Hose kinking despite swivel action

Ensure the hose is not being pulled at an extreme angle that exceeds the 180° swivel limit. Make sure the wall mount is positioned to allow maximum movement without obstruction.

Pros and Cons

  • Offers versatile watering options with a 7-setting spray gun.
  • Durable construction resistant to water and UV rays.
  • Includes all necessary parts for a complete setup.

Cons

  • Relatively heavy at 13.25 kg, which may impact portability.
  • The 15-meter hose might be insufficient for very large gardens.
  • Requires wall mounting for optimal use, limiting placement options.
  • Automatic rewind might require a firm pull to engage initially.
  • The green and black color scheme may not suit all garden aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a suitable location for the wall mount near your water source.
  2. Securely attach the wall mount using appropriate screws and wall plugs (not included, ensure they are suitable for your wall type).
  3. Connect the 1.5-meter connection hose to your outdoor tap and then to the reel.
  4. Attach the 15-meter hose to the reel.
  5. Connect the spray gun to the end of the 15-meter hose using the provided quick-release brass attachment.

Compatibility:

This hose reel is designed to connect to standard UK/EU outdoor garden taps. The quick-release brass attachments ensure compatibility with most standard hose fittings.

Care:

  • Periodically wipe down the casing and hose with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Ensure the hose is fully retracted and stored away from extreme weather conditions during winter to prolong its lifespan.
  • Check the nozzle of the spray gun for any debris that might affect its spray patterns.
  • Inspect the wall mount periodically to ensure it remains securely fastened.
