Use O clips or jubilee clips to secure your hose to the barb.
You'll need one of these for the o clips http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/GSOCP.html

 I fitted a Gardiners Brass Swivel Elbow connector to my Hose Reel about a year ago, i put PTFE tape on Hose Reel thread to
 make it more water tight, has worked great with no problems, no leaks whatsoever.

It would depend on your reel, I use http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/proloc-heavy-duty-reel.html which has a built in swivel and needs a barb http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/hose-reel-8mm-adaptor-brass.html  or quick connect fitted http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/S26F12MT.html
