Product Information
Full details
The Hozelock Micro Reel is designed for gardeners with smaller outdoor spaces, offering a simple and effective watering solution for patios, balconies, and compact gardens. Its primary benefit is the fuss-free, tangle-free hose management in a compact form factor. A potential consideration is its 10m hose length, which may be insufficient for larger areas. Key features include a 10m hose, easy rewind system, and compact storage.

FAQs
What is the length of the hose included?
The Hozelock Micro Reel comes with a 10-meter hose.
Is this reel suitable for large gardens?
No, this reel is specifically designed for smaller spaces such as patios, balconies, and compact gardens due to its 10m hose length.
How do I prevent the hose from tangling?
The reel features an easy rewind system with a rotating drum and winding handle designed to minimize tangles during both winding and unwinding.
Where can I store the Micro Reel?
Its compact size allows for easy storage in small cupboards, on a shelf in the shed, or next to the tap.
What type of taps is it compatible with?
It is compatible with most standard garden taps, typically those with 1/2", 3/4", or 1" BSP threads. Adaptors might be needed for non-standard fittings.
Can I use this reel for hot water?
The Hozelock Micro Reel is designed for cold water use only.
Does it come assembled?
The reel includes the hose and fittings; the winding handle usually attaches easily to the drum.
Troubleshooting
Hose is difficult to unwind.
Ensure the winding handle is fully engaged and try a smooth, consistent pull. Check for any kinks in the hose before unwinding.
Hose is not rewinding smoothly.
Make sure the hose is feeding onto the drum evenly. Remove any debris or dirt that might be obstructing the drum or handle mechanism. Ensure the hose is fully emptied of water.
Leaking at the tap connection.
Check that the hose fitting is securely tightened to the tap. Ensure the washer inside the fitting is present and in good condition. If necessary, use a tap adaptor if your tap has an unusual thread.
Hose seems too short for my needs.
This reel is designed for smaller spaces. For larger areas, consider a longer hose reel or hose storage solution.
