- Is 90 ft long enough for a large yard?
- It reaches most of a typical suburban lot from one wall position. Very long or oddly shaped yards may still need a second tap.
- Does it come with a nozzle and mounting hardware?
- It ships with the reel, hose and a spray nozzle, plus a mounting bracket and screws. Check the wall type before fitting, since the bracket needs solid timber or masonry.
- What hose diameter does it use?
- It uses a 5/8 in. hose, which gives better flow than the 1/2 in. hose on many rival reels.
- Can it be mounted on vinyl siding?
- Not directly. The bracket needs a solid fixing, so mount it to a stud, post or masonry wall rather than siding alone.
- How does it compare with a metal hose reel?
- It is lighter and self-retracting, which metal crank reels are not. Metal reels tend to last longer, but they cost more and need manual coiling.
- Will the spring rewind work if the hose is left pressurised?
- Release the water pressure before retracting. Leaving it pressurised makes the rewind harder and strains the hose.
