Question 1

need o rings for suncast reel

Accepted Answer

o rings come with unit...you do not need to buy them separately ....ps....the swa100....will not come close to holding 100 feet of 5/8 rubber hose....it comes bout 20 feet short

Question 2

Does it have to be mounted to the wall to work?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Unless you define "work" as just a circular device to hold your hose and there are cheaper options for that. The beauty of this is that once mounted it rotates and reeling in the hose is simple and fast. Better to drain the hose before winding though since it weighs less.Although it is rated for 100 feet it should not be so rated. It doesn't work well with that much hose which is too large for the reel. Better to go with a fifty or 75' hose.

Question 3

Where are the mounting holes located on the unit? Can you mount using 2 screws top and bottom if they r long enough?

Accepted Answer

The spindle comes off wall mount.  Since you'll be cranking up a hose full of water, there's quite a bit of pressure on the mount.  I would use 4 screws ( 2 top, 2 bottom ) and try to hit one pair on a wall stud if possible or use a proper anchor.  I have used this type of hose reel for 10 years+ and really like them.

Question 4

I have  a 200' hose. Could I wind up 100' remove it from the winder and then wind the rest of the hose up and have two circles of hose?

Accepted Answer

I hope this is not joke. You could wind up 100 feet of hose, then carefully remove half of the reel assembly, at which point the wound up hose coils will want to fall off from the hub. Provided, that you can slide off the hose coils, place it on the ground. Now you have to reattach half the reel and continue with the other 100 feet. After the reel is full, you'll need to take half the reel off again to remove the hose coils. Why would you want to do this?
