Hello everyone, hope you are all well. HELP!!! HELP!!ADVICE!!!RECOMMENDATIONS!!! WALK THROUGH!!
I hope to get some advice please, I am not the best at DIY yet with window cleaning products. I have a few questions and issues that I need urgent help with.
1) Uni Valve - It was working fine bu I changed my pole hose and now the end that you tug on without tugging on it, it seeps water and gets worse. I have crimmped the o ring tight too and it still leaks. I put another new hose on and it still does the same thing, I am doing what I did first time round exactly but have this leak and it does leak noticable out the bottom of the pole. Any ideas why? could i have damaged the uni valve part that the hose pushes over ? or what can i use to maybe fix this? Would plummer tape work? I just dont get why it leaks water when before it was fine.
2) Pole hose - I use just the 5mm black pole hose facelift but I was thinking of getting the Replacement Hose Pack with Fittings - Flexible Reinforced Yellow PVC
one from gardiners the 5mm one again as I am used to this. Q: I am buying the correct male EZ Snap™ Male Plug - Pole Hose - 5mm Barb this is the right size to fit the 5mm hose yes? this is the part that goes in to the Female ez snap connector on the end of the gardiner back hose you get already fitted. Q: What O RING would I need to fit over the 5mm hose to tighten it to the male ez snap connector?
3) What size oring do I get to fit over my 5mm hose to tighten up over the uni valve puller part that is inside the pole.
4) Is a 30m hose length ok to use with gardiner back pack and with uni valve, I think it is but wanted to see what anoyone else used? Also if anyone uses the back pack and uni valve what connection listing do you use and would you recommend?
If anyone can help me thats great, just unsure what sizes i need and connections for 5mm pole hose?
Thank you inadvance for reading and to anyone that can help me out. First time I am replacing things so bit new to this replacement lark. The fitting on the end of the orange hose that comes out the back pack i need to change the EZ SNAP to and thats going to be missions for me lol.
Thanks again take care ?
