Fire Hose Reels

Manual vs Automatic Hose Reels: What’s the Difference?
Choosing the right type of hose reel is important for meeting the needs of your specific application. Here’s how manual and automatic hose reels differ:
- Manual Hose Reels:
These require you to manually open the water supply (via the gate valve) before running out the hose. Once extended, you twist the spray nozzle to begin use. Manual reels are ideal for controlled environments where speed is not the primary concern. - Automatic Hose Reels:
Equipped with an automatic valve, these reels maintain a constant water supply. Simply pull out the hose, twist the nozzle, and the water flow is activated immediately. This faster deployment makes them a preferred choice for emergency response situations where every second counts.
Both types offer robust performance, with Firechief’s high-quality engineering ensuring reliability in demanding scenarios.
