Backwash Hose Roller or Wheel

[Mendy48]

I have a 100ft backwash hose (heavy) and it's great. However, it is so heavy to roll this hose back up after use by myself. Is there something I can buy to help me roll this backwash hose up after usage? If so, what do you recommend? Is there a backwash hose wheel that can help me?

You have one of those blue backwash hoses that go flat?

You want a hose reel that wall mounts or has a stand on the ground?

There are plenty of hose reels to choose from. Here are a few from a search:

Thanks for the links. I have the below flat backwash hose and it's attached to my backwash pipe. When I want to release some pool water, I extend this hose (that's already attached to the backwash pipe) out to the ditch behind my backyard. However, when I'm done releasing the pool water, it is hard for me to roll it back up to the attached backwash pipe that it's hanging from.

I'm not sure I can use any of the links you sent, only if I un-attach the backwash hose from the backwash pipe. You know what I mean? Heard to explain LOL.

Yes, I understand. A hose reel that can roll the hose while one end is attached is more complex. I have those types for garden hoses around the house but never seen one for the backwash hose.

Ahhh I see. So I'm going to have to just do my best to roll it back up myself. I'll just ask my hubby to do it, but I love taking care of my oasis myself. However, the backwash hose is a different story. I'll definitely need help with that.

Look at this hose reel and you see how it has a fixed hose on the left connected to a pipe and then one hose end connects into the pipe so the hose can turn while being connected.

Oh! Thanks for this link. Awesome
