Draining a hose reel involves slowly reeling the hose in to allow water to drain out, thus preventing drag.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Slowly reel in the hose: Avoid quickly reeling the hose, which can trap water and make the process less effective.
-
Allow water to drain: Give the water sufficient time to escape from the hose as it's being reeled in. This prevents water from accumulating and causing strain on the reel.
By following these steps, you can efficiently drain your hose reel and prevent damage caused by trapped water, especially important during winterization.
