Know before you buy
The RollControl system uses an integrated mechanical brake that regulates the speed of the spring-loaded retraction. This ensures the hose winds back slowly and steadily, preventing it from whipping or tangling during the process.
Yes, the reel features a bi-directional swivel capability that allows it to pivot smoothly on its wall bracket. This flexibility makes it easy to mount on corners or walls while ensuring the hose follows your movement without kinking.
The unit is designed to accommodate standard rubber and PVC garden hoses. As long as your existing hose meets the standard diameter requirements for the reel, it will function seamlessly with the internal guide system.
The system is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Because it is a sealed, spring-loaded unit, you simply need to keep the guide clean of debris to ensure the anti-kink mechanism continues to operate smoothly.
The reel measures 540 x 240 x 470 mm. You should ensure you have enough clearance on the wall to allow the unit to swivel freely, as the bi-directional movement requires a bit of extra space to rotate fully.
Yes, the 60-month warranty covers the product's construction and functionality, including the spring-loaded drive and mechanical braking system. It is a comprehensive guarantee that reflects the build quality of the reel.
