Best water fed pole

[Shorty_cleaner]

Hi there, hope your all well. 

Im looking into getting a new pole, but am very unsure on which is best. Im looking at between 25-35 foot poles. Also need a new brush head. 

I've always used Gardiner, but have seen a phantom facelift, I'm not sure which is best, I also require it to be light weight, but need to not sell a kidney to buy it. 

Should I stick to Gardiner ? And which model or should I go for the facelift. 

Thank you

Might still be for sale https://windowcleaningforums.co.uk/topic/35401-for-sale-gardiners-super-max-50-series-2/?tab=comments#comment-502649 yes it's 50ft pole but you could add the appropriate base section, 

Personally I couldn't work with a 25ft as a daily pole so have a 22 & 35ft

As for a brush I've had nearly every one it's a very personal thing currently using an Xtreme sill only negative bristles are about 1" short for my liking

Thank you but not what I'm after, 50ft will be too much for me, I have a Gardiner currently that's 25 ft, but am in need of a new one, 

I do wish you could go and try brush's befor you buy them

We have tried most poles out there and Gardiners are by far the best , the size yoh are after I would look at the slx it’s carbon very hard wearing reasonably stiff and price is good . Brushes are a personal thing but we use the supreame  brushes if using cold water a medium will be fine they give very good splay on the glass get into all the corners and are a good all round brush and lite

SLX30 me and my lad both use these as all day every day poles, cant fault em

the best everyday pole for me is an xtreme 25 with a carbon gooseneck and xtreme brush...its light as a feather and allows me to destroy work lists in the quickest,most efficient manner...i also use a supreme brush and standard plastic gooseneck for some work too...thats it....?

If its for you get extreme, if for staff - slx.

Thank you I currently have a Gardiner and was unsure if there's better lighter ones yet as it's been a while

Thank you currently have a slx 25 but need a bit extra reach

I'm currently looking at brushes to see what there is and unsure as there is so many options now

The SLX27 is actually shorter when collapsed than the SLX25. So gives you a little extra but is short so might fit in van easier than a 30?

I noticed on utube  squeaky clean Dave says ova8 poles are best he used? I love Gardiner but never used ova8, interesting design being square pole

I have never owned one but did try a friends I found it heavy and more whippey than a six  , cannot comment on longevity

I think in the past he has also said that about the Phantom and possibly the SLX ?

I'll do videos and say anything if @Alex Gardiner is happy to give a new Xtreme-22 every year ?
