NO-CRANK - A Product of Hydro Industries

Hydro Industries focuses on the development and marketing of technologically advanced value-added gardening products.  The Company’s products are based on its Hydro-Pro system – a revolutionary water powered engine which converts water pressure into other forms of energy, such as propulsion.  Hydro Industries’ flagship application, NO-CRANK (also known as ReelSmart), is a line of user friendly self-rewinding home garden hose reels, powered exclusively by water pressure and featuring different designs and functionalities.

NO-CRANK Hose Reels

The NO-CRANK line of water-powered hose reels is ground-breaking within the gardening sector by providing a safe and efficient solution to the common gardening-related headache of manually rewinding the garden hose after each watering.  Existing products, either hand cranked or powered by springs or electricity, are either tedious, limited in their capacity or potentially dangerous (by combining electricity and water or by using fast retracting springs). NO-CRANK hose reels are the only one to offer real hands-free rewinding functionality.

NO-CRANK - Company History

In 2003, Hydro Industries introduced its first generation of water powered automatic hose reels and gained a significant foothold in the US retail market. In 2004 the company launched its ReelSmart product family, a line of automatic hose reels based on the second generation of compressed water powered engine. 

The Company began marketing the ReelSmart / NO-CRANK line in the US and Europe and extended the portfolio ever since with continuous introduction of new models every year.  Today, with the largest portfolio of water-powered hands-free rewinding hose reels, the company has a solution suitable for every need. With more than 1,500,000 units to date coupled with over 200 million homeowners worldwide, Hydro Industries’ comprehensive line of value added hose reels faces a large market growth opportunity.
