FAQs
What is the total length of the hose?
The reel comes with a 10-meter garden hose and a 1-meter connector hose, totaling 11 meters of usable hose length when connected to the tap.
Can this hose reel be used indoors?
While the materials are durable, the primary design and mounting are intended for outdoor use. Ensure adequate ventilation and consider water source availability if using indoors.
What type of spray nozzle is included?
An adjustable spray nozzle is included, which can be rotated to change the water flow from a fine mist to a stronger jet.
How do I mount this to the wall?
The hose reel requires secure wall mounting. You will need to select appropriate mounting hardware (screws, anchors) based on your wall type (e.g., brick, wood, drywall) as these are not supplied with the product.
Does the hose swivel?
Yes, the wall-mounted reel can swivel up to 180 degrees, providing greater flexibility in directing the hose.
How does the automatic winding work?
A gentle tug on the hose typically engages the locking mechanism, allowing you to stop it at any length. A subsequent slight pull and release disengages the lock, allowing the hose to retract automatically.
What material is the hose made of?
The hose is made of high-quality, durable PVC.
Troubleshooting
Hose does not retract smoothly
Check for kinks or obstructions along the hose path. Ensure the hose is fully unwound and then gently tugged to engage the retraction mechanism. Clean any dirt or debris from the hose surface.
Water leaks from the connection
Ensure the connector hose is tightly secured to both the tap and the reel inlet. Check the washer inside the connection for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Locking mechanism not holding the hose
Inspect the locking teeth or mechanism for debris. Try extending and retracting the hose fully a few times to clear any potential blockages. Ensure you are pulling the hose with a distinct, slight tug to engage the lock.
Hose reel feels stiff or difficult to pull out
Ensure the unit is properly mounted and the swivel is unobstructed. Check if the hose is properly aligned within the case and not binding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Mounting Location: Select a sturdy wall near your primary watering area. Ensure the chosen location allows for the 180-degree swivel range.
Wall Mounting: Securely attach the hose reel bracket to the wall using appropriate hardware (not included, depending on wall type). Ensure it is firmly fixed to support the weight of the reel and hose, especially when full of water.
Connecting the Hose: Connect the 1-meter connector hose to your outdoor water tap and then to the inlet of the hose reel.
Testing: Gently pull out the hose to test the locking mechanism and retraction. Ensure the water flow is as expected.
Compatibility:
The connector hose is designed to fit standard outdoor water taps.
The reel itself is compatible with water pressure typically found in residential outdoor tap systems.
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the exterior case and hose with a damp cloth periodically. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Storage: During freezing temperatures, ensure the hose and reel are drained of all water to prevent internal damage.
Mechanism: Periodically check the retraction mechanism for smooth operation. Minor debris can sometimes impede retraction; ensure the hose path is clear.
