Q. Can I put my own hose in this hose reel?
A. No, you cannot put your own hose into the reel nor replace the hose in the reel. The retraction mechanism operates via a spring, and is fitted at the factory.
Q. Which hose from your range comes in the hose reel?
A. This product uses a specifically designed hose for use in the retractable hose reel unit.
Q. Does the hose in the hose reel kink?
A. This hose has been specifically designed for use in an auto rewind hose reel unit and must be soft and pliable so that it retracts easily back into the unit. Although this hose is not designed for kink-resistance specifically, using a hose reel greatly reduces the chance of a kink occuring. This is due to only using the correct length of hose for the task at hand so there is no extra hose for a tangle or kink to occur. In addition, the retraction mechanism on the reel ensures that the hose is always reeled back in a straight line, so the hose does not get twisted (a common cause of kinks).
Q. My tap is 3m away from where I need to put the hose reel. What can I do?
A. You can add an additional length of hose to the leader hose in order to reach the water supply. To do this, you will need a suitable length of hose with Hoselink connectors on either end. If you have a suitable hose length for this purpose, we recommend purchasing a Hose Joiner Set (2410). Alternatively, we sell Leader Hose Extensions in 1.5m and 5m lengths pre-fitted with connectors, for your convenience.
Q. Does the hose reel have to be mounted?
A. Yes, because it uses tension for retraction and extension, the hose reel unit must be mounted for correct operation to a solid wall or post.
Q. What surfaces can I mount the hose reel to and how?

Q. If I would like to mount the reel onto a post, how deep should the post be into the ground?
A. The post depth required depends on a number of factors, including how hard packed the soil is and how much concrete is used. We suggest 0.5m as a safe depth for the post before pouring the concrete. In addition, we would recommend that the hole be 30cm square to provide enough concrete to keep the hose reel firmly in place. Hoselink's Retractable Mounting Post is the perfect solution.
Q. What is the difference between the standard and Hi-flow Hose Reels?
Our standard Hose Reels feature a 12mm garden hose, whereas the Hi-flow Reels come with a slightly larger 14mm internal diameter garden hose. Because of the design, all retractable hose reels will reduce water pressure to varying degrees. With the larger diameter hose in the Hi-flow model, we've calculated a 25% better water flow rate in comparison to our standard models. Unless you have extremely high water pressure, we would always recommend the Hi-flow model for the best watering experience. In particular, anyone who has low to medium water pressure at their home should choose the Hi-flow model to minimise loss of pressure.
Q. Can I use the Retractable Hose Reels with hot water?
A. No, they are not recommended for use with hot water. Maximum water temperature is 40 degrees.
Q. Can I leave the tap turned on at all times?
A. We would recommend turning the water off at the tap at the end of each watering session. The increased pressure from the water may cause unnecessary wear to the internal mechanism of the hose reel, potentially shortening the life of the product.
