Hose Reel
Choosing the Right Hose Reel
Hose Reel Main Factors
The three main factors to remember when choosing a hose reel are the size, shape, and type of hose that you are using. If you use an industrial size hose for your watering needs than you need to make sure that your hose reel was built for an industrial size hose. When choosing a hose reel make sure you notice which hose lengths are compatible with the hose reel. A thirty foot hose will not fit on a hose reel with a maximum capacity of 25 feet, even though it seem like a trivial difference placing a hose that is too long on a hose reel will damage the hose. The last factor to think about is the size of the hose reel. If you are planning on mounting the hose reel on the wall make sure that the wall is strong enough to hold the hose reel and the hose when it is full of water.
Why Choose a Hose Reel?
Hoses and cables are prone to tangling and present a potential danger to children, animals, and lawnmowers when left laying out in the yard. Hose reels are a simple, safe, and effective method of storing, delivering, and retrieving hoses. Hose reels not only prevent accidents but they also help protect and improve the lifespan of the hose. It only takes one accident with a lawnmower to destroy a hose. When a hose is properly coiled on a hose reel it is also being protected from the sun which can bleach the hose and cause it to dry, crack, and leak.
Hose Reel Rewind
There are several types of hose reel winders manual, electric, and automatic. Manual hose reel cranks require a lot of effort to wind up a hose, especially when the hose is full of water. If you have ever picked up a blue 5gallon water jug than you know how heavy a large amount of water can be. Electric hose reels have a motor inside which rewinds the hose effort free. The major drawback to electric hose reels is that mixing water and electricity is never a good combination, also the motor has extra parts which can rust or break greatly shortening the life of the hose reel. The best and most recommended solution is an automatic hose reel. These hose reels use the power of water pressure to wind themselves up. There are no metal parts to rust, there is no danger from electricity, and it is a simple as flipping a switch.

Might sound daft but any one know how to connect a Garden Hose pipe?
I have bought a new hose pipe which is on a wheel. I know how to connect the actual hose pipe but do i connect a piece of pipe from my tap into the back of the holder. Then do i connect the hose pipe that come with it to the holder as well. There`s loads of connection points. Ive only been used to tap and end of hose. Cant find any instructions on web site. If its any help its called aHOZELOCK COMPACT HOSE REEL
There should be a short piece of pipe that connects from the tap to the hose reel. Then there is another connection on the inside of the hose reel itself to which the long (100 feet) of hose pipe should connect.
