Gardening Is Easy With Rehau Wall Mounted Automatic Hose Reel

Advantages: Easy, convinient, flexible, good value for money, made by a top quality brand
Disadvantages: Might have to buy other fittings as these are not very strong.

...the hose can harm plants. You should try to imitate rain water when watering your plants. A simple ratchet makes sure that the hose only rewinds when you want it to. The box contains; 1 x Autoreel 1 x 20m Length of hose 1 x Wall mounting bracket 1 x 2m Length of hose 1 x Hose nozzle 1 x Threaded tap connector 1 x Waterstop connector 1 x Hose end connector The great thing is that not only can you use it for your garden, but you can use it to wash your car as well. Maybe there are other things you can use it for as well. In the Summer months when the weather is hot you can spray your children and chase them around the garden with the hose. It's a fantastic purchase that is simple to assemble and mount. Each time it perfectly retracts and layers the hose and it has never let me down. It is just so easy to pull out and lock...

Review of Rehau Wall Mounted Automatic Hose Reel

* Read this or I will squirt you!..

Advantages: Ease of use,
Disadvantages: A little flimsy.

...I normally tend to write reviews on items I like, and recommend, but in this case I can't actually recommend these at all. The reason being, they do not last, being of steel construction, they rust very quicklly. The paint finish is poor, and the steel is not thick enough. They do tend to bend at the least provocation, and although the basic idea is sound, the materials are not good enough. The design was copied from Firefighting Hosereels, where the hose could be ran out very quickly, the reel swinging out toward the fire, and making it up again was a doddle.. I would like to see a better quality version of these, that really would be something. All fittings are made from corrosion resistant brass, and the reel is supposed to hold some eighty feet of hose! The Company itself. Rehau make many things in plastic, sometimes...

Mounts Bay Waters Apartments..A 5* experience!

Advantages: Very close to Perth city, stunning views, ultra modern......
Disadvantages: Room service got you up far too early!

...The apartments are a 20 minute drive from the airport and with the aid of a map we were able to find them quite easily. The Mounts bay waters apartments are situated on Mounts Bay road which is adjacent to two of Perths greatest attractions - the Swan River and Kings Park and is also just a few minutes stroll to the Perth central business district and also (more importantly if you like retail therapy) the shops! Mounts Bay Waters apartments - also known as Mounts bay village, comprises of a number of buildings which house both hotel guests and residents. Upon arrival we were quite excited as everywhere looked wonderful, not to mention clean, the reason for our excitement I will leave for another review, lets just say that our apartments in the last city, melbourne, didnt live up to expectations! Anyway, There were six...

Review of Mounts Bay Waters Apartment Hotel, Perth

Amazing flat hose.

Advantages: Compact flat hose, can use when on reel.
Disadvantages: No good when there is a hose pipe ban.

...I have tried a few hose pipes over the years. The standard round hose pipe on a reel with wheels. It kinks and twists and it takes two people to wind it back onto the reel and then finding somewhere to store it because their quite bulky. The springy one was great to start with, then it just stopped springing back. So i was left with a long over stretched hose with no place to store. Then one day i was flicking through the thousands of tv channals we have these days (only about 10 useful) and i saw the Magna Flat Hose. Price was £22.95 from QVC What caught my eye was some huge truck ontop of the hose and the water was still coming out impressive or what. (am i easily impressed or what) So 3 days after ordering my Magna Hose it arrives in a cardboard box. Quickly opening the box and getting out my 75 foot hose i was...

Review of Magna Magna Hose

* Send for the Hose Mender! . .

Advantages: Good bit of kit, simple, and effective.
Disadvantages: Not a one.

...This review is on the hose mender by Rehau. You may think you don't need one of these, you may well be right of course. I thought so too, and having messed about in my garage for hours, using bits of copper pipe & Jubilee clips, I finally decided to get the proper kit. The Hose Mender itself is nothing special, it is simply a means of attaching one end of a hose pipe to another, in a short length. It does this very well, and although I have forgotten the price, it can't have been much more than a couple of Pounds. It was easy to do the job. and I have no regrets either, it is just a plastic fitting, nothing more, nothing less, and it is there to do a job, and it does that job very well indeed. You will see cheap and usually very nasty versions of these fittings around, but at this price you may as well go for the Rehau. You...

Review of Rehau Hose Mender

I have a curly hose! .. Update.

Advantages: See list.
Disadvantages: See list.

...but read cons, If you don't need the flow, then you can join two together, or even more. Easy to stow, no need for a drum. Cons Small diameter (3/8") and all those curls means more friction, so less output. You can't just lay it out & let it water your garden without pegging it down. Just to explain that bit, if you have a normal hose and want to feed a sprinkler forty feet away from the tap, you run the hose to it, turn the tap on, & have a cuppa. With this system, you need to stop the hose from flying back towards the tap, not a great problem but something to be aware of. If your flow is not great then the output will be reduced. Although the length is 50 feet you can only use it practically, up to about 45' - anything more and you are struggling against the "spring" effect. One thing to remember, is that as the plastic hose...

Review of Hoselock Hoselock Spiral Hose Set

Hose about that then! ..

Advantages: It passes water as it should
Disadvantages: None

...does tend to pick up dirt. Also it is very easy to change fittings on it, some have ribs that interfere with plastic fittings, which means in some cases you have to "shave" them off with a Stanley knife. These hoses are available at the big DIY superstores, and do last far longer than a "cheaper" alternative. Tips:- Always drain & stow away for the winter, coil onto a reel or hooks to keep it neat, and after use always turn the water supply off & release pressure in the hose. And go for the Hozeloc fittings, they are so easy, once you use them, you will never look back. Right, 250 words (without this but) I think that is enough to be called a real review, none of those quicky jobs thank you....

Review of Rehau Hose Holder

Fantastic value hose reel, seems good quality.

Advantages: Good quality, at a good price.
Disadvantages: None

...a good idea to attach the connector to the other end of the hose, and turn the tap on. The connector has a shut-off valve built in, and will not allow water out unless something else is added to it. By filling the hose with water, then winding it onto the reel, it will help prevent the hose from crushing or kinking. I have no leaks whateoever from any of the connectors, and am very happy with my purchase....

Mount Vesuvius - There she didn't blow!!

Advantages: Utterly incredible views and atmosphere !!
Disadvantages: Not suitable for the less fit

...Thinking back, my ten day holiday in the Bay of Naples probably packed in more wonderful venues than any other holiday I have taken. I visited Pompeii, Capri, Herculaneum ,Sorrento, drove around the wonderful Amelfi Coast and I actually climbed to the top of.arguably, the most famous volcano in the world - Mount Vesuvius ( Monte Vesuvio) !! All my life I had wanted to visit Pompeii but I never dreamt that one day I would climb to the crater from which the source of Pompeii's destruction came with such vengeance. Situated just six miles east of Naples it is a short distance from the shore. The area around Vesuvius was officially declared a national park on 5 June 1995. The thing that amazed me was just how volcano dominates the whole area -we could see it soon after leaving the airport on our way to our hotel and it...
