Will he Suncast Aquawinder 125-ft. hose reel work with flat hoses?

I would say no, as it needs the water flowing through to wind up. I got mine at the end of the season last year & it worked great, much better than winding it by hand.

THE reel is about a foot wide and with the round hose, I find that I have to guide it as the guide lets it build up and not wind evenly. I don't see why that wouldn't work with a flat hose or take the guide off of the auger that is intended to distribute the hose evenly to allow it to wind in one place. It really does a great job of pulling in the hose weight without any effort on my part except for the guiding that I mentioned.

I doubt it. I had two of these and both broke. Waste of money. Hose needs to be light weight and rigid.

Hi, No, I have not tried the hose on a hose reel. Update: It has been getting colder here and my other hoses have been difficult to handle while I drain and coil them. The Flexzilla is still staying quite flexible.

I do not know, but I think I have found a answer to the problem I was having, use barbed 5/8 connectors instead or normal water connectors. the 5/8 connectors kept breaking the hose as if being to big, I will be using very hot water make the hose slip on to the barbed connections

Not sure but the hose outside diameter is larger than old line. I had to use a different one than the sea sense.

I can't answer that for you. However HarborFreight sells a surprisingly nice, permanent mount air hose reel made of steel. Mine's been going strong 3+ years without issue and used a couple times a week. I'm not a fan of most things HarborFreight, but that one is worth it.

Yes it should work okay. Just make sure your hose attatchments are pointed in the right direction.

I wouldn't buy it for that purpose. Too flimsy. I bought this hose reel for extension cord (not very pleased with it really) and also have a backwash hose for my pool. Would not think it would work at all.

I have a heavy duty 100 foot hose on mine and it does fit. You do need to assist it to get it to lay evenly, but it does work. The hose reel is top notch!

The handle is sturdy and with any wind up hose reel you need to feed the hose back in evenly and not have kinks in the hose as you rewind. As a Landscape professional I use Suncast Hose boxes in all my clients gardens.

Make sure that you have the right hardware (four Tapcon 5/16 in. x 2-1/4 in. hex-washer-head large diameter concrete anchors and four 1/4 in. x 5/8 in. galvanized steel flat washers) and tool (hammer driver drill or SDS hammer driver drill is even better and impact driver with the right socket). If done right, the hose reel mount is rock solid. You only have one shot to get right. So, make sure that you have the right hardware and tools. There are no substitutes.

I have a 100 ft. role on a hand crank hose reel and a 50 ft. hose on a spring rewind hose and would not go back to any other hose. It works great. I did remove the bend restrictor on the end that hooks to the reel.

It should work. I use about 100 foot hose. I do not think the diameter the hose would matter.

Apologies for the late response. Yes, you can use another brand of hose. However, it should be short or lightweight because the reel is meant to hold a lightweight hose like the Gardena that ours came with. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

You would need to measure the diameter of your hose then check the measurements for the wand.

yes vic, it can hold the 100 feet of hose quite comfortably. as i'm reeling in the hose, I guide the hose back and forth in order to get an even displacement throughout the reel. george

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