Keep telling people to get the facelift black pole hose, doesn't kink, get it you won't be disappointed,

Though why do you use pole hose as the main feed?

its dear as ****. any other hoses??

 

[Jake]

That's the only one I like...

Why not buy normal micro or minibore hose?

Can you kink the hose to stop the flow with the Facelift pole hose @Jake? I looked at buying the Rhino-Tube made by Perry Tait. No one seems to sell it in this country, they will ship from Australia, but postage costs a bomb http://store.futureofcleaning.com/products/rhino-tube

Anyone in Oz fancy sending some over for me?

I'm sorry but why berate a product that you are using in an environment it was never designed to work in. It's pole hose so as @johnny bravo says it works fine in that application. It isn't hose reel hose. So why imply that it's **** hose?

Never tried kinking it, but I'm sure you can

He's right it's ****, I had no flow the other day the pump cut out, turns out the hose was kinked

I have 30 metres of gardiners pole hose on three Trolleys i have made now going straight from the reel to the pole with a hidden join in the pole, which I have shown in another thread. I use AquaTap to control water. I park the Trolley up at the gate of most houses and just walk around each house cleaning the windows. I cant for the life of me understand how you are getting kinks in the hose all the time. I very rarely have a problem with kinked hose.

Here's a pic of 2 of my trolleys with the reels with pole hose on. The left one is over a year old. The hose is a bit grubby now but still looks and works fine cleaning around 100 houses a week.



You have to manage your hose and be aware that if you see it coiling a little, just spin your pole as you are walking to straighten it. When working with pole hose it is so light that it doesnt feel like you are using hose at all.

I will say though, that with a Van mount and dragging hose through the streets/roads, you need 100m microbore.

That's because yours is on a reel mate, but when it's just pole hose it's awful
