There are a few simple steps you can undertake to ensure your Auto Reel is kept in tip top condition from season to season, as outlined below.
Storage
We strongly advise storing the Auto Reel indoors unless actually being used. All of our wall mounted products are easy to remove from the wall and have park points to attach the inlet and outlet hoses to; this helps prevent water from leaking out of the reel. Please note that damage from frost will invalidate the guarantee.
Winter
To prevent damage being caused to your Auto Reel over the winter months, it is advisable that the excess water be dispelled from the hosepipe. This can be done by completing the following steps:
- Disconnect the feeder hose from the tap
- Place the end of the feeder hose on the ground
- Pull out all of the hose ensuring the hose end connection is ‘closed’ and then completely retract it
- Excess water will dispel from the feeder hose
- Repeat step 3 several times
By dispelling the excess water from your Auto Reel, it will not only become lighter to transport inside during winter, but will reduce the risk of water freezing inside the reel. Remove the reel from the wall in winter to prevent frost damage.
