Automatic Hose Reel without hose?

Hi
I'm just wondering where I could possibly buy an automatic reel for a hose pipe? We've already got a hose pipe and we had the wall mounted hose reel to go with it 

Sorta like this

Now, the hose reel has broken and well, we still have a lot of hosepipe that's perfectly functional but was wondering if there was some sort of automatic wall mounted hose reel where we could put our own pipe into it? 

TIA

    Not seen a domestic one.  The reel is usually balanced for the particular hose that it comes with.  Loads of industrial ones but the prices are pretty eye watering.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Bought one of these last year, strong and well made, easy to assemble and comes with a bracket for wall mounting, holds up to 50m of hose.

    As 15m of Hozelok hose sells for around £20, you might be better off buying the whole thing, replacing the hose with your own and selling the 15m of supplied hose as new on a local selling site?
