Do you have a question about the Suncast SWA125 and is the answer not in the manual?

The Suncast Wall Mount Hose Reel, model SWA123, is a practical and durable solution for organizing and storing garden hoses. Designed for wall mounting, it helps keep your garden neat and prevents the common issues associated with tangled or improperly stored hoses, such as kinking, damage, and tripping hazards.

Function Description

The primary function of the Suncast Wall Mount Hose Reel is to provide a convenient and efficient way to store and manage a garden hose. By mounting the reel on a wall, users can easily wind and unwind their hose, keeping it readily accessible for watering tasks while minimizing clutter in the garden or garage. The reel features a crank handle for manual winding, ensuring smooth operation. It connects directly to a water source via a supply tube and allows the hose to be connected to an out-tube, enabling water flow through the reel to the attached garden hose.

Important Technical Specifications

The Suncast Wall Mount Hose Reel is constructed from durable resin, designed to withstand outdoor conditions and resist damage from freezing temperatures, provided proper winterization procedures are followed. It comes with a 3-year limited warranty against defects in manufacturing or materials, highlighting its robust construction. The reel is designed to accommodate standard garden hoses, though specific length capacities are not detailed in the provided materials. The mounting hardware includes screws for securing the reel to a wall, typically into wood studs or masonry, ensuring a stable installation. The reel also incorporates o-rings on the supply tube to prevent leaks and a reel lock mechanism to secure the hose reel to the mounting hub.

Usage Features

Installation: The installation process involves several steps:

Mounting the Hub: The mounting hub (6) is secured to a wall using four mounting screws (5). For wood studs, a 5/32" drill bit is recommended for pilot holes. For masonry, appropriate anchors should be used. The hub should be positioned to allow easy access for hose connection and winding.
Attaching the Reel: Once the hub is securely mounted, the reel (3) is attached. The reel lock tab (2) should be in the "unlock" position (away from the center of the cover plate). The reel is then pushed onto the mounting hub (6) until it stops. It is crucial to push and twist the reel with force to ensure it is fully mounted. After mounting, the reel lock tab (2) is slid to the "lock" position (towards the center of the cover plate) to secure the reel. The reel should now be able to rotate freely.
Connecting the Hose: The garden hose is connected to the reel's out-tube. It is essential to ensure that the hose connection is not cross-threaded and that a washer is present inside the female coupler of the garden hose to prevent leaks.

Operation:

Winding the Hose: The reel features a crank handle (9) for manual winding. To wind the hose, the user simply turns the crank handle, guiding the hose onto the reel. It is recommended to wind the hose in a straight line to prevent kinking and ensure even distribution.
Unwinding the Hose: To unwind the hose, pull the hose out from the reel. The reel will rotate freely, allowing the hose to extend as needed.
Water Flow: The reel connects to a water source via a supply tube, which then directs water through the reel to the attached garden hose. This allows for continuous water flow during use.

Important Usage Instructions:

Preventing Damage: Avoid cross-threading the garden hose onto the out-tube. Always check for a washer in the hose coupler.
Hose Management: Before winding, ensure the hose is free of kinks and excess water to prevent damage and reduce strain on the reel.
Freezing Temperatures: During colder months, especially when freezing temperatures are expected, it is crucial to remove the hose from the faucet, drain all water from the hose and reel, and store the reel indoors. Failure to do so can lead to damage to the reel or water pipes due to trapped frozen water.

Maintenance Features

Lubrication:

The manual indicates the use of a lubricant tube (7) to smear contents on the o-rings of the supply tube during installation. This helps ensure a watertight seal and smooth operation.

Troubleshooting and Warranty:

Leaks: If the reel leaks, it may not be fully seated on the hub (6) or the reel lock may not be in the "lock" position. Re-seating the reel and ensuring the lock is engaged can resolve this.
Warranty: Suncast provides a 3-year limited warranty on the reel against defects in manufacturing or materials. This warranty covers issues arising from normal use and does not cover damage caused by misuse, improper assembly, neglect, accidents, or natural disasters. For warranty claims or replacement parts, customers can contact Suncast customer service.
Replacement Parts: Suncast offers replacement parts. Customers can contact Suncast customer service or visit their website for assistance in obtaining necessary components.

The Suncast Wall Mount Hose Reel is designed for ease of use and durability, making it a valuable addition to any garden. Proper installation, operation, and winterization are key to maximizing its lifespan and performance.
