Wfp Vs The Fishing Rod/pole

[Jeff Brimble]

Hi Guys, Dodger the gangster is a modular, sorry. The Ninja was telescopic and fast.Yep first electric backpack, wore it on my back as no one made them off the shelf, 16 years ago. the wheel chair is a long standing joke but not the golf trolly, I have 2 of them now, just like a mini van mount really and remote controlled.65-70ft with a fishing pole is easy and cheaper, but its an instrument, I still have my original M16 after 6 years but its getting old (like me ) all the info is on Matts old diy waterfed pole forum.

Hello jeff never met you in person but have seen a lot of your ideas on the Internet and a big thank is sent for the useful info given along with waggas videos didn't mange to log on to say thanks but keep up the good work love the water heater pack will order one when get some spare brass

 

[Jeff Brimble]

Thank you Newbie. dont wait get one tomoz, the weather from the 18th is going to be really cold brrrrr.But you could scrape by by bringing in conatainers to warm for the first two hours of the day.Will be at the Cleaning Show, never missed it.Wagga has the advantage of being a pro vid man, I am still a stills man but the old Iphone is good. Just dont have time for play and tinkering in the shed these winter dark hours.

I like to go on Facebook mostly now as forums seem to be slower.

 

[Newbie123]

[Jeff Brimble]

This sounds intresting as I have some poles that I don't use

i bought one off jeff years ago ( ta jeff) & it was great, i had a brodex alloy at the time so couldn't believe how much better carbon fibre was, if you good at diy i'd say get in there

 

[Dodger]

I never did get around to it I use an slx but do use one for spraying chems and it works a treat

I am not great at diy but would give it a go I just don't like the idea of having to break the pole down every time

Matt from another forum had a diy wfp website great site for fishing pole conversions. dont know if its still on line. Also youtube is good.

A number of us did the Ron Thompson Zenoflex Put Over conversion about 8 years ago on another forum.

It got us away from Unger Teleplus aluminum poles and introduced us to the world of carbon fibre. It was good to begin with when it was a novelty, but assembling poles at each customer, 'breaking' them down and discarding as you started on the ground floor windows took too much time. On occasion we also left pieces behind and had to go back for them.

Advantages;

- they were light and rather rigid compared to ali poles.

- they were cheap and initially easily available. They discontinued the original units we bought and replaced them with another model which weren't as good.

Disadvantages;

- we had to buy light cheap brushes. We found the Bentley brush was about the best and readily available from Morrisons where we did our weekly grocery shop. We found some brushes were better than others.

- they were modular and the joins were a taper fit and would easily seize together. We used to put a wrap of duck tape around the joint to stop the top section jamming into the next upper section.

- you discarded sections when starting customers bottom windows. We threw them well out of the way to prevent us accidentally standing on them. (My son broke one section within 10 minutes when first starting to use it. We still have a couple of poles and several of the sections are repaired with a fiberglass 'bandage'.) You would then have to go round and collect these discarded pole sections.

- it doesn't look very professional.

- the hose ran down the outside of the pole so would have to spin the pole around for better hose management.

- it was much slower than using a telescopic pole.

When we bought a new broom with a Bentley brush, we carefully cut the thread adapter out of the broom handle. When you get your fishing pole you throw away the top 3 or 4 sections as they are too small. We found we were left with 5 full sections and a 6th half section. The 6th half section was cut away to the point where this thread adapter would be a snug fit inside the tube. We glued that in.

Gardiners then came out with an affordable SLX and CLX pole range and the Superlight brushes were tons better than the Bentley brushes we used.

We found that we were more productive with proper equipment and that increased productivity paid for the more expensive carbon fiber telescopic poles.

My advice to you is not to waste your time. You will just go 'backwards' with regard to your cleaning equipment.
