PowerUp 3D reel

[Spartan]

Reel is 24 hours old, fitted yesterday and used today.
Slight weep.
Any suggestions on how to fix?
I'm gonna contact Waterworks but if it's something simple and easy fix then I'd prefer to do it myself.

Not seen this happen before but if you take the c clip out of the centre carefully take the fitting apart and put a bit of silicone grease or Vaseline on the o ring it will normally stop this type of leak

Only had this happen on the Power up reel after 18 months of use the O ring became compressed this shouldn't be weeping now, @Pjj advice is a good shout,

Expect it to weep from the inside because the Jubilee clip they did fit is or was useless, I had to swap it out for an O ring, I purchased mine just over 12 months ago.

This was brand new just installed it swapped it out for the Hdreel got in touch with waterworks they sent me a new elbow which was fitted a couple of days later.
I my case I just installed the hdreel back for a couple of days. Get in touch with Jordan with the video I’m sure he will sort you out.
The above was probably caused by the o ring being nipped when assembled the reel couldn’t have been checked before leaving waterworks.

As it's not a bad leak I would just call the seller tomorrow and have a chat with them. I wouldn't take it apart as then they could say you caused any damage.

That rotary joint looks to be faulty best contact the seller that you purchased the item from

Contacted them and they're send some rubber o rings.
Bit nervous about doing it to be honest but don't really want to send the whole thing back as I've fitted it to the van floor and attached and fitted my hose onto the reel.
Do I need a special tool to remove the clip or just pliers?
I might try finding a video on YouTube that shows the procedure.
Cheers

You'll need https://www.screwfix.com/p/essentials-circlip-plier-set-5-pieces/1988v otherwise it's a pain to remove the circlip when my old PowerUp reel started leaking I had no idea that these even existed

Oh bugger, something else to go buy
I hope this will be an easy swap.
Be nice if I had a video but nothing on YouTube

Based on how the elbow came apart on their first reel it should be, once the circlip is removed it will slide off and you'll see the rubber o ring it's very easy to swap out.

Have they fixed the dodgy switch problems on these reels yet?and belts snapping?

I belive that the belts only snapped because people were abusing the reels, the belt driven one doesn't have the same torque as the older reels, I know some people that will just reel in even if they have resistance like drag across grass, I pull my hose in by hand as required so as not to strain the belt.

They've now switched back to a chain driven reel.

They don't have belts, they have chains.

The switch is all good.
My original one of 6 years the contacts stopped working but it has 2 buttons on the controller so just wired it into the blank one a d all works again, literally a 5 minute job

You can do it using a couple of small screwdriver s at a push
