Metal Hose reel & microbore hose
If you would prefer to buy one already together, to save you time waiting to get them separately. Then this one maybe of interest to you. The microbore hose is 6mm and 100 meters long. You can either get it in blue or yellow, so both are high viability. The item don’t come assembled, so it will require you to put it all together yourself.
water fed pole fittings
These rectus 21 fittings are most commonly used for water fed pole users. One side goes on to your hose pipe and the other bit goes onto your hose pole. They damage easily, so you may want to buy a few sets to keep you covered.
Your going to need to turn your water on and off, to stop waste, and what better way to do it than with this tap. Unless you happy to just kink the hose every time you want the water off. You can pick your specific size for your hose on the detail page.
Conclusion:
Most of the hoses are similar quality, and they all do the same job and are more than likely from the same manufacturer. I would recommend going for the 6mm microbore hose as it will be lighter when filled with water.
