Frequently Asked Questions - IAN 70720 FLORABEST

What is the hose length and diameter?

The main hose is 19.5 m long with a 12.5 mm diameter. An additional 1.5 m attachment hose with the same diameter is included for connection to the tap.

How do I install the wall-mounted hose box?

Mount the wall holder vertically on a brick, concrete, or wood wall using the supplied screws and dowels. Leave approx. 50 cm free space on each side for 180° rotation. Then push the hose reel onto the holder. Ensure the installation site is not higher than the tap to prevent backflow.

Can this hose box be used with indoor taps?

No, the hose reel is intended for outdoor use only and cannot be connected to indoor taps.

How does the automatic stop function work?

As you pull the hose out, you will hear a click every meter. To lock the hose at a desired length, pull it out slightly past the next click. To cancel the stop, pull quickly past the next click and guide the hose back manually.

Is the hose suitable for drinking water?

No, the hose is not suitable for delivering drinking water.

How should I store the hose reel in winter?

To avoid frost damage, remove the hose reel from the wall and store it in a dry place indoors during winter.

What should I do if the hose does not retract properly?

If the hose doesn't wind back, hold it slightly above hip-height and guide it carefully onto the reel. Reduce water pressure by letting some water flow out or turning off the tap if needed.

How do I clean the hose box?

Wipe the housing with a slightly damp, fluff-free cloth. For inside cleaning, open the top door and rinse with a vigorous jet of water, then close the door.

Can children use this product?

No, this product is not a toy and must not be used by children. Keep packaging materials away from children due to suffocation risk.

What are the safety precautions during installation?

Ensure no electrical cables or water pipes are damaged during drilling. Use only experienced persons for installation. Never open the housing or remove screws, as internal springs may cause injury.

- Installation

● Fitting the water hosepipe attachment

☐ Guide the short length of hosepipe attachment 4 from outside through the opening into the side compartment of the hose reel. Remove the screw-on cap from the hose reel hose connection and guide it onto the hosepipe attachment 4 (see Fig. A).

☐ Insert the hosepipe attachment 4 firmly into the toothed connection piece and screw the cap back on (see Fig. B).

☐ Close the side compartment with the side cover 3 (see Fig. C).

- Choosing the installation site

The hose reel is intended for outdoor use only and cannot be connected to indoor taps.

☐ Choose a part of the wall surface with approx. 50 cm free to each side so that the hose reel can be turned through 180°.

☐ If you wish to take the hose around a wall corner, mount the hose reel at least 1 m from the corner and use a hose guide (not included).

Note: To prevent backflow do not install the hose reel higher than the tap.

Or: Install a reflux preventer or a pipe interrupter between tap and hose.

- Mounting the wall holder

Important! The holder must be mounted vertically (see Fig. E).

☐ Use the four screws and dowels supplied. They are suitable for mounting on brick, concrete or wooden walls only. For mounting on other materials please use suitable screws and dowels. Enquire in your local DIY shop for some suitable screws and dowels for your particular wall.

- Mounting the hose reel

□ Push the hose reel 2 on to the wall holder 1 (see Figs. F + G).

☐ Attach the tap attachment 5 to the free end of the hosepipe attachment 4 and screw it on to the water hosepipe connector 6 (see Fig. D).

☐ Push the hosepipe connector with water stop function 10 and the spray nozzle 9 on to the long garden hose.

☐ Check that the hose reel 2 can turn through 180^ (see Fig. H).

Before first use turn the tap on and allow water to run through the garden hose.

☐ Check the device for leaks and tighten any loose connections if necessary.

Installation / Maintenance, cleaning and care / Disposal

- Using the hose reel

☐ Hold the end of the hose firmly when unwinding the hose and pull the hose out of the hose reel 2.
☐ The hose reel 2 has an automatic stop function which ensures that the hose is kept at the desired unwound length. As the hose is unwound a click sounds from the stop function every metre. When the desired length has been unwound, pull out the hose carefully a little further until the next click sounds. The hose is then fixed at the desired unwound length and can be placed on the ground without it springing back into the housing by itself.
☐ If you wish to unwind more of the hose, hold the hose firmly and proceed as described above.
☐ The automatic stop function is cancelled by pulling the hose quickly past the next click and then guiding the hose back carefully by hand into the hose reel [2].
☐ You can regulate the water jet by turning the spray nozzle 9.

Note:

☐ Reduce the pressure if the hose cannot be properly guided into the housing with the tap turned on. Either allow some water to flow out of the hose or turn the water off.
☐ If the hose does not wind back on to the reel return under its own power, hold it slightly above hip-height and guide it carefully back onto the reel.

● Using the spray nozzles

□ Attach the spray nozzle 9 onto the hosepipe connector with water stop function 10.
☐ To adjust the water discharge, turn the green part of the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle can be used to interrupt the discharge of water. The connector with the water-stop function interrupts the water flow when the nozzle is removed from the turned-on tap. Only use these two functions for intermittent interruptions of the flow of water. Never leave the hose unsupervised in such instances.

● Maintenance, cleaning and care

☐ If the hose reel 2 drips, lift the side cover 3 using a screwdriver. Check the connection between the reel and the hose and replace the screw-on cap firmly.
□ Clean the housing using a slightly moist, fluff-free cloth.
☐ To clean the inside of the reel, open the door provided for this purpose on the top of the hose reel 2 (see Fig. I).
□ Spray the inside with a vigorous jet of water and then close the door (see Figs. J, K, L).
