Thank-you mate.:thumbsup: I'll definitely get one of these.Tubeless is a bit of a misnomer really as the pole is not actually tubeless when in use. It's just that when you have finished using it and are putting your kit back in your vehicle, you can easily remove the hose from the pole by disconnecting at the base of the pole making it less cumbersome and more manageable. This is especially useful if you are working from a car. In its simplest form it's done by cutting the hose about 50mm from the end of the pole when it is collapsed (at it's shortest) and fitting the above mentioned 8mm JG fitting so it just hangs out of the pole. This allows you to disconnect the hose at this point when you are ready to pack away.Whilst working though you don't want this connection exposed, so you need to make a spacer for the top section of the pole. A 75mm (3inch) section of 1/2 inch garden hose cut down the side with a Stanley knife will do will do.
When you have connected your hose raise the top section of you pole by 75mm and clip the piece of garden hose on it. This will stop you accidentally disconnecting the hose whilst you're using it.
Others may have a different view on this, but on the 'tap in the hose' note, you will probably find that a plastic JG tap fitted at the top of your pole will be less annoying than the tap in the hose as you won't have to carry your hose or keep bending down to turn your water on. When you get to it though, the best tap by far is the Univalve.
Cheers Dave.I like the jg tap on the brushI don't use a spacer etc i just have a jg fitted about 2cm from the end of the pole
Leave the first section extended by 2cm while working and it is fine
