Feherguard Swimming Pool Vacuum Hose Storage Reel

I bought this item a few years ago. This item works as indicated. It makes storing and unwinding your vacuum hose for the pool easy and dare I say enjoyable. I love the product and wish I would have purchased it sooner. It holds at least 30 ft of regular vacuum hose.

Exactly what I needed for my 40ft 1.5in pool vacuum hose. Easy assembly (just snap several pieces together, no tools required). Light weight but sturdy design. Other reviewers said it didn’t work with 40ft hoses...my pictures are proof it has no issues at all. So much easier to place into pool when it’s not twisting and fighting you every step of the way. Start by attaching the wall suction (or skimmer suction) end 1st and wind up the hose. When you're ready to use it, attach the vacuum head and pole to the loose end and push into the water to fill and remove the air. Once unraveled, the end attached to the reel easily comes off and attaches to your pool vacuum port for use. Great price, well made, easy assembly & works exactly as described.

For 10 years I have struggled when putting away and storing my pool hose every time I vacuum. This might be the easiest product review ever. It easily accommodates my 50 foot hose, yet it is still light and easy to store. It is very easy to use. For anyone asking if they really want to spend $70 for this, I'd say 'yes, you should'. It is one of those simple things that totally changed my outlook on vacuuming. I have no idea why I waited this long to get one of these, but I would highly recommend it.

This is great for easily putting away the pool vacuum hose. I wish they made the reel a little bigger because it barely holds my 50-ft hose. The one complaint I have is the four clips holding the two sides of the reel together kept coming apart whenever I reeled in the hose. I fixed this by bolting them together with zinc bolts, washers and nuts. This morning I pulled out the reel from shed and the bolted parts cracked apart. I went back to Amazon to order another reel, not happy that they raised the price from $48 to $82. Ouch!

This reel really helps to keep my hose organized and easily stores away.

You see plastic and automatically think cheap. I can assure you that is not the case here. It is very high density durable plastic. Comes in a box with 4 pieces that snap together to form a robust reel. No instructions but really none needed. Made in Canada. I use it for my 50' garage vacuum hose (1.25" diameter) and it works well (though there is no swivel mechanism so I have to detach the vacuum hose from the vacuum to wind it up).

Item was delivered missing one of four parts. Vendor was no help, referred me to the manufacturer. Sent it back.

Can't believe this item is $70. Don't get me wrong it works well and a snap to put together and was just what I needed, but charging nearly $70 for this is highway robbery.
