Will this reel and connections only work with a Gardena hose?

You can use any hose unless it has Gardena quick connector and not too long (reel is small to use with >50' 3/8" hose). Gardena 1/2" 50' takes more than half of reel space.

You can use other brand hoses, but need to have Gardena adaptor to connect the hose to the trolley. Plus a Gardena fitting for the faucet, which comes with the hose reel. It's a very good product.

Without any adapters it will only work with a Gardena hose but it did come with one. I bought an extra connector to also attach my standard garden hose.

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.

The hose connections fit and attach well to any standard hose and water connections. Have been using the connection for weeks and it works just fine.

I assume so. The connection is a typical one. the hose material is light and probably floats, but that shouldn't matter?

I am quite sure that all of the Gardena sprinklers come with a quick connector attached. I would suggest buying the set of connectors that are made especially for the gardena sprinklers. I didn't and now wish I had.

I don't know about a hose reel, but I DO KNOW you will regret buying that hose!

I bought the "Gardena 36004 Garden Hose Quick Connector Starter Set," which was $15.79 at Amazon Prime. You'll only need one of the adapters for the grinder, but it was worth it to get it at the same time.

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

Will work on any garden hose. However, I threw these Gilmour items away after less than year because of poor quality.

Not sure -- I hook it right up to my regular, standard, garden hose, and it connects perfectly.

Yes. All my water garden hoses are 3/4 inch. If I remember correctly all water garden hoses have the same size connections.

This does not connect to a garden hose. This will connect directly to a pressure washer hose.

If "leader hose" is the hose needed to connect the hose reel to a fauset; the answer is yes.

I can't see why you couldn't. The hose is a little stiffer than garden hose but if all the fittings have sealant and hold air there shouldn't be a problem with water. I don't know if I would leave water in the reel because it may cause corrosion in the fittings but if u ran air through it when you were done it shouldn't cause a problem

No I don't think so since I Have always used the Gardena fittings supplied. My old one is 20 years old and still fine.

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 don't know. I use a regular garden hose for Home Depot and that worked fine.

John,The are just quick connect/disconnects devices and will work with any hose with standard hose threading! Bob
