I want to use this hose with an automatic hose reel. Is this hose suitable for use with such a reel?

It stays flexible even when it is cold, I don't have mine on a hose reel, but I think it should work.

My hose hanger is not automatic but the hose curls Around the hanger perfectly no problems whatsoever again this is the best Hose I've ever owned it does not kink and is so easy-to-use.

I don't think you will need to. It takes up a tiny amount of space compared to a traditional hose. It defeats the purpose of buying the thin hose.

I would use a real flexible hose something from HD or Loews with a 1/4 in. Fitting that's all you need

Thank you for your inquiry. The actual capacity of the reel will be determined by the outside diameter of the 3/4" hose you are installing on the reel and how carefully it is wound back on the reel. If the hose has an outside diameter of 1" or greater we would strongly recommend that you also purchase the 1044 Extra Capacity kit to widen the reel by 4" to ensure that you can fit the hose on the reel.

I really like my Suncast autowind hose reel. I would recommend not using a hose that is too heavy duty or too large. After a year the rewind engagement handle broke and I found it was poorly designed. I contacted Suncast and they are shipping me a new handle. Be real carefully when engaging this handle or you could experience the same dilemma. I hope my replacement handle has been re-engineered. Good Luck.

yes, but if u use reel for fresh water suggest stren or trilene line. these lines are better suited for fresh water usage

Somewhat. We attached it to 2 boards and that helps. It also depends on how much hose you put on it. The more hose, the more it moves. I do really like the reel. I hate having the hose on the house and this is nice and heavy duty.

No; I have found the best hose reel I have used. Several plastic reels broke after only one years use. Water flow is good since hose is properly reeled and unreeled from the drum

We have a 100ft hose on ours. It works fine. We don't know about any rusting or leaking as of yet. This replaces a reel we used for 10 years and if this needs replacing, I would do it again.

Yes. I have now been using the hose reel for about a year and love it. The first one sprung a leak internally and I got this one. I have another one that is 9 years old and still great.

Not sure but this hose was hard to move around. If you keep it in the same area permanently, it will be fine. I prefer the old fashioned soakers that are light weight and green vinyl. It is a very efficient use of water, when you do not have auto sprinkilers.

The extension hose is not really suited for use between the motor and the wand. It does not contain an electrical connection to convey the electrical power needed to drive the small motor located next to the rotating brush in the wand. This means that the brush will not rotate. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the connector on the wand will not even allow you to attach the hose. This is true of all power attachments - they will not work when the extension hose is used because they will not be able to receive any power through the hose. Instead, the hose is for use with non-powered tools, such as the duster attachment, the crevice tool, the small brush, etc. It works great for those purposes. Good luck.

I would recommend this hose reel to anyone. It is extremely high quality and I am very happy with it. To answer you question, when I wind up the hose I use my hand to guide the hose to evenly on the spool. This winds very quickly this way. I have had some of the mechnical tracking/winding mechnisms and I don't miss them.

Definitely. You would have to figure out how to get it started since the hose you connect it to the reel. It could be done though.

The hose is fine. It's the reel that's a piece of junk! It won't roll up on it's own and it leaks! Bad product!

We have 2 heavy duty hoses attached to ours, probably at least 100 feet. It reels easily. Money well spent.

No - you just wind the hose around it manually. There is no reel to "wind it up".

I'm guessing it would depend on the condition, and the fitment. Just saying, if the hose is in serviceable condition and it fits, I can't see why you wouldn't be able to use it. But then again, I'm not a professional. You should maybe speak to your local Home Depot, or other professionals.
