Has anybody used a Univalve or gardiner gooseneck valve with the pole hose on the outside of the pole ?
And if so which is the best ?
Cheers

If really shouldn't be attempted as the Univalve relies on vertical pull activation and is designed for internal pole use. You'll have issues creating the upper pole stop and risk the realistic fact of snapping the upper and lower barbs offHas anybody used a Univalve or gardiner gooseneck valve with the pole hose on the outside of the pole ?

I'm guessing he's what I call an active pole splitterI’d just run my hose through my pole if I was you unless there’s a specific reason why not to? It’s soooooo much easier.
This, and i prefer the hose out as I find it's less moving the trolley round and less snagging, may be just imagining that though ?I'm guessing he's what I call an active pole splitter

What trolley are you using mate?This, and i prefer the hose out as I find it's less moving the trolley round and less snagging, may be just imagining that though ?
So univalve ? Or should i just put a wireless remote control on the trolley ?
Its one I've put together myself from one of your how to guides mate, works a treat but i waste loads of water / chems.What trolley are you using mate?
Me personally being an electronics specialist i would if a tough call to make? Electronic relays are great at reducing pump strain and pressure switch wear directly on a trolley system however univalves work further from the water source without the issues of environment interference, distance issues over 60M line of sight and water ingress damage to remote controls.
I'd stick with your remote control system. It's not overlooking the pump and isn't keeping your hose charged under pressure.Its one I've put together myself from one of your how to guides mate, works a treat but i waste loads of water / chems.
Maybe, although I’ve never tried it myself Ive heard that doing that can be more fatiguing than using a full pole as you can use the pole length to act as leverage when you need to apply pressure to the window for stubborn stains. Also your your gonna be stretching all over he place to each the tops of the frames.I'm guessing he's what I call an active pole splitter

Also with most decent modern poles the heads can be removed in seconds anyway so that pointless.Cleanco said:Maybe, although I’ve never tried it myself Ive heard that doing that can be more fatiguing than using a full pole as you can use the pole length to act as leverage when you need to apply pressure to the window for stubborn stains.
