The Relhost RW-22 Retractable Garden Hose Reel automatically rewinds your hose after every use, keeping your garden neat, organized, and tangle-free. Pull out the length you need, lock it in place, then watch it roll back smoothly when you're done — no more messy coils or time wasted winding by hand.
The free-locking mechanism lets you stop and lock the hose at any point — 65ft, 100ft, or 120ft — so you get perfect reach without excess hose dragging behind. To retract, give a short tug of 100–200mm and the hose smoothly winds back. Note: at least 15" must be extended before retraction is triggered.
The stop-ball position can be adjusted without any tools to set your preferred maximum hose length. Pull the hose to the desired length, open the latch on the stop-ball, slide it to your preferred position, and re-latch. Always ensure the reel is locked before adjusting the stop-ball.
A gentle tug triggers smooth, slow, hands-free retraction. The upgraded auto-guide system ensures even winding every time — no kinks, no tangles. Always hold the hose throughout retraction — never release mid-retraction as the hose may snap back at speed. When the yellow tape appears, stop pulling immediately — this marks the end of the hose length.
The heavy-duty 180° swivel bracket lets you move freely around your garden or driveway, reaching every corner with ease. The quick-release design lets you detach the reel from the bracket in seconds — ideal for winter storage or relocation.
The included multi-pattern spray nozzle offers 10 settings: Angle, Center, Shower, Full, Soaker, Jet, Mist, Cone, Vertical, and Flat — suitable for watering, cleaning, car washing, and pet bathing.
The hose features a three-layer reinforced PVC structure (inner & outer PVC with a fiber layer in between) for strength and flexibility. The impact-resistant, UV-stabilized polypropylene housing keeps it protected from wear and weather. Working temperature: 23–104°F (-5–40°C). Max working pressure: 150 psi. Store indoors during winter months to prevent freezing damage.
Mount on any wall or timber post in minutes. For masonry walls: use a 10mm (3/8") drill bit, drill approximately 50mm (2") deep. For timber posts: use a 3mm (1/8") drill bit, drill approximately 60mm (2.5") deep. Install at a recommended height of 80cm (32") from the ground. Tools needed: electric drill, tape measure, bubble level, Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench.

Q: What hose lengths and diameters are available?
A: This reel is available in 65ft, 100ft, and 120ft lengths, in both 1/2" and 5/8" diameters. Each variant also includes a 6.5ft (2m) leader hose to connect to your water spigot.
Q: What color options are available?
A: This model is available in Gray+White. For a Gray-only color option, please see our other RW-22 variant listing.
Q: How does the locking mechanism work?
A: Pull the hose to your desired length and stop — it locks automatically at any point. To retract, give a short tug of 100–200mm. At least 15" of hose must be extended before retraction can be triggered.
Q: What is the stop-ball and how do I adjust it?
A: The stop-ball controls the maximum extension of the hose. To adjust: ensure the reel is locked, open the latch on the stop-ball, slide it to the desired position, and re-latch securely before unlocking the reel. No tools required.
Q: What does the yellow tape on the hose mean?
A: The yellow tape marks the end of the hose length. Stop pulling immediately when you see it to avoid damaging the hose or reel.
Q: Is it safe to let go of the hose during retraction?
A: No. Always hold the hose throughout the entire retraction process. Releasing mid-retraction can cause the hose to snap back at high speed, potentially causing injury.
Q: What is the swivel range of the wall bracket?
A: The bracket rotates 180°, allowing you to water in any direction without repositioning the reel.
Q: Can I remove the reel from the wall easily?
A: Yes. The quick-release design lets you detach the reel from the bracket in seconds — ideal for winter storage or relocation.
Q: What wall types can this be mounted on?
A: Masonry walls (use 10mm / 3/8" drill bit, 50mm deep) and timber posts (use 3mm / 1/8" drill bit, 60mm deep). All necessary hardware is included.
Q: At what height should I install the hose reel?
A: We recommend installing at approximately 80cm (32") from the ground for comfortable and optimal operation. Installing in a shaded area will also help extend the life of the hose and reel.
Q: The hose cannot be extended or retracted — what should I do?
A: Pull the hose firmly to its full length to untwist it completely, then hold the hose while walking back to allow it to retract smoothly.
Q: Water flow seems too small — how do I fix it?
A: Check the leader hose for visible creases. Turn on the spray gun and gradually pull out the hose to see if flow improves. Remove the spray gun to check if it is causing the restriction, and ensure the spigot is fully open.
Q: There is a leak at the connection — what should I do?
A: Check that the washer is present and correctly seated at the connection between the leader hose and the spigot. Re-tighten the connection if needed.
Q: The hose will not retract completely — what should I do?
A: Turn off the spigot and press the spray gun to release pressure. Ensure the reel is securely mounted. Hold the stop-ball and pull the hose out fully to straighten it. Unlock and follow the hose as it retracts, pulling out slightly more than needed at a time to avoid slack.
Q: The hose is difficult to pull out — what should I do?
A: Pull the hose downward rather than outward, and ensure the reel is installed at the recommended height of 80cm (32") from the ground.
Q: The hose is tangled — how do I fix it?
A: Pull the hose out to its full length to unwind any twists. Do not step on the hose. Always hold the hose during retraction to prevent it from rewinding freely on the ground.
Q: How do I clean and maintain the hose reel?
A: Wipe the hose with a damp cloth while retracting. Clean the housing and hose with mild soap and water only. Do not expose to corrosive chemicals. Inspect periodically for cracks or blisters — discontinue use if found. Store indoors during winter months.
Q: Where can I download the installation manual?
A: Download the RW-22-30S-100FT User Manual (PDF) directly from this page.
