A Different Type of Water Hose Reel

What is the purpose of a water hose reel? In most cases this is just another way of saying that it is a reel to hold your garden hose to ensure that it does not just lie around your garden in the wet or dirty grass allowing kinks to turn to frays and cracks. The main purpose of the water hose reel is to keep your lawn and garden tidy, and to prevent damage to your hose. They are easy available and can be bought at any hardware or garden supply store that sells hoses. They come in a variety of models, are made of a variety of material and although most are green, they do come in a couple of other colors. These range from the ordinary inexpensive model that you attach to the side of your house or garage and then manually roll it up. You can make these ones yourself.

They also come in water hose reel models that will roll the hose for you. This can be either by a switch or button at the reel itself or a model that requires only a gentle tug to rewind on its own. Some use motors to rewind your hose while others give you a crank to use to wind the hose in.

There is another type of reel called a drinking water hose reel. This is a very innovative device, which uses a special type of hose, called a food grade hose, which is used only for the purpose of transporting and providing drinkable water. This kind of water hose reel would be used at a marina, campsites, parks or any other location that requires clean potable water for drinking to be moved from one place to another. They can also be used for other liquids that are for human consumption. The special grade of hose makes it safe to use.
