anyone have their hose outside the pole like wagga?

[Dave B]

It might be a stoopid question but i noticed in all waggas vids he has the hose outside of the pole

Any idea why?

Smurf has his on the outside

Like the new avatar @daveyboy1 /emoticons/smile.png. Is it your fave toy now?

 

[Dave B]

Yeah

Wicked with a dash of virosol and clean fascias with tap water

Can't wait to get pure sorted to do glass

Did a couple of new cleans with it to get the frames good and all the shite off the glass..then jumped up on ladders and 2 second scrub and squeegee with wagtail just to remove any water left

Perfect job

Love it!

Regarding Wagga having the hose outside, he uses the Reach-It pole http://www.futureofcleaning.com/waterfed-poles.html

I had a harris pole with hose on the outside didn't like it.

Main reason for hose outside pole is to stop dirt being dragged up the pole, which can be really really annoying, wears the pole a bit and can make it stiff to extend the sections...

If you give the pole sections a clean once or twice a month it's usually no issue, also it looks naff when there's a hose flailing about !

Always have mine on outside. Find it easier to pack up. Clip it off the brush & wind it up. No 4-4 meters sticking out the bottom of the hose.

I use an aquadapter so no. Its really a preference thing just try both, i didnt like it outside so much though the loops just look ***.

I tried it for a week but I just didn't like it. But it could save you some money if you are starting out rather than having A regular pole and a longer one, it makes it easy adding and taking off sections.

yeh i did this bought two harris poles, ran hose outside then could make it about 21ft altogether but jeeezus it was heavy and the bend omfg..you could start it horizontal and loop it over to the out of sight sills over extensions.

My 30ft pole is heavy

Fibreglass though

Will eventually go carbon

Tried it once and hated it, also tried coiled one around pole and that was even worse. Mind you I use an unger trigger that basically pinches hose and you have to have a loop when hose inside, most hate that but I don't mind it cos I like the trigger and its whatever you're comfortable with in the end.

I use unger nlite aluminium and nlite has little loops to hold the hose when outside really a nice feature as it not dangling about and easy to snap on/off with john guest on the brush

I hate it as it is always getting in the way of bushes, guttering ect

Gave it a trial diddent like it. i pinch the hose to controll water flow while im working and if you happen to drop it you have to lay the pole against the wall to retreive the hose cause it falls towards the wall. It slaps against the pole all the time which is realy annoying, and unless you keep constant pressure on it it snags every thing possible. Iv had it pull out of push fit connectors and i broke a y adaptor when i tried that. And this is more than lightly a mental thing it seemed to make the pole feel heavier when extended in use.
