Can these be stored on and used from a standard hose reel?

It can.... just make sure you unreel the entire hose or it will swell up and jam your reel!

Sorry haven't tried yet. I carry it very easily from one spigot to another - we have 3 1/2 acres. Works beautifully. When I am thru just let all water out, put any where as it doesn't take much space.

it really isn't necessary because it shrinks up so easily. But I think it would, I just don't know why you would want to do it.

Not easily. When you turn it off it must be able to contract to squeeze the water out. I actually keep mine in the bottom of a small bucket and it still only takes about 1/3 of the bucket at the bottom.

Definitely. You would have to figure out how to get it started since the hose you connect it to the reel. It could be done though.

Does attaching a hose to this reel defeat the purpose of buying a lead-free (drinking-safe) hose?

This is a manual reel. You can use the hose without unrolling it from the reel.

I believe so, just like any other hose. And it's not a dumb question! I really like this hose. Have mine on a hose reel and it's awesome!

The hose reel will accommodate up to 150' of a 5/8" hose in one continuous length that has an outside diameter of about 3/4". If you are using a heavy 5/8" id rubber hose with an outside diameter of greater than 3/4" od but less than 1"od you can expect the reel to accommodate up to 100'of that hosein one continuous length. Anytime you couple two hoses together the capacity of the hose reel will decrease due to the couplings.

Yes it is possible. But in the short time that I have owned this product I don't find it to be necessary. They may be removed and stored elsewhere.

I would think if you remove the reel, you are also going to remove the connector, plus the bottom of the pot is open to allow for drainage...why not just get one of those nice decorative pot, although I know the hose would not be covered...if that is what you are looking to accomplish.

The storage bin is removable. You have to remove it in order to attach the hose to the reel.

Yes you can; in fact we have done it and the nice thing about them is that they are flexible and can be moved :0) I have also used them for hauling river rock, laundry, toys, and puke catcher for the LO's , Just take a hose to them and they are clean!

I don't think so. You need it firmly attached to extract and rewind the hose.

It appears that they can. However, I think the plastic couplings are a particular vulnerability of this product. In my case, the coupling separated from the hose as soon as I turned the water on. So -- be very careful

I would say yes. Just be careful not to wind it so tight that it restricts airflow. You need to thread enough line through the hole in the side before you start winding the excess onto the reel. This reel holds 100 feet of extension cord - that would equate to multiple hundreds of feet of standard tubing. You might consider something else such as Bayco K-150 Cord Wrap.

You can use any hose unless it has Gardena quick connector and not too long (reel is small to use with >50' 3/8" hose). Gardena 1/2" 50' takes more than half of reel space.

No it can not be. The other side is for the hose attachment and thereis a different bracket for it. I have had this for 2 or 3 years and the plasticreel that holds the hose has deteriorated and broken from the stress ofwinding the hose on it. I gave this a two star rating a couple of years ago.I would now give it a one star. I did attach a piece of metal channel to itso I can roll it up without it slipping all over the place but now with the reelbreaking it is definitely not worth the price.

I haven't tried that, but I did hook it onto a regular hose (as I only bought one) and it worked okay, just seemed to leak at the connection. Don't see why you couldn't.

Very easy.....turn off your water supply, disconnect the hose and pull the "pin" that it swivels on. You may need to rock the unit a bit to pull the pin/pipe out. The hose and reel should be stored inside.
