The hose reel cover is fading or discoloring.

Discoloration is typically caused by exposure to the sun's UV rays.  The only reliable method of preventing this from occurring is to keep the UV rays off of the product either by keeping the item indoors or under some type of covering.  Unfortunately, this is not a condition covered by our Warranty Policy which states,

"The fading or discoloration of products from the sun's UV rays are specifically excluded from this warranty.
