What is the Aquabag GF?

The Aquabag is a compact, hand-carried hose reel designed for those who don't need a massive, wall-mounted system. It's perfect for watering potted plants on a balcony, a small vegetable patch, or even for washing your patio furniture. Available in vibrant colors like fuchsia, lime, blue, orange, and grey, this mini reel can be carried by its handle or simply set on the ground. It comes equipped with 11.5 meters of braided hose—1.5 meters are external for connection, while 10 meters are neatly stored inside. After use, a simple turn of the side crank retracts the hose effortlessly. To keep your outdoor area organized, consider pairing this with a storage bench for your gardening tools.

What's in the Box?

The Aquabag comes ready to use right out of the box. The package includes:

• 2 soft-touch quick-connect fittings (pre-installed on the hose)
• An ergonomic spray gun with variable flow
• A 3/4" tap connector for standard indoor or outdoor faucets
• Snap-in holders on the reel body to store the spray gun and fittings

This all-in-one design means you don't need to buy extra adapters. For a complete outdoor setup, check out our selection of outdoor patio furniture to create a relaxing oasis after your gardening is done.

Lightweight Design and Versatility

The true genius of the Aquabag lies in its portability and flexible features:

• Variable Flow: Slide the button on the spray gun forward or backward to adjust the water pressure from a gentle trickle to a strong stream.
• Three Spray Patterns: Choose between a concentrated jet for cleaning, a fan spray for lawns, or a gentle shower for delicate seedlings.
• Universal Fit: The 3/4" quick-connect fitting works with virtually all standard outdoor taps.
• Dual-Use Design: Connect the 1.5-meter end to the tap and place the reel on the ground to use the full 10-meter hose. Alternatively, connect the 10-meter end to the tap and carry the reel by hand to water distant pots without dragging the whole hose.
• Gentle Watering: The shower setting is ideal for potted plants, as the low-pressure, free-falling water won't disturb the soil.

This versatility makes it a must-have for any gardener. To brighten up your garden even more, consider adding some outdoor lighting for evening watering sessions.
