As you know from my other posts, it didnt take me long to sort out another trolley and pole for the upstairs windows.
So i didnt want to spend too much money as it will only be used for one day out the month. Therefore I opted for
CLX 22
14inch ultimate stiff brush
4 fan jets
Light green ultimate flex 15m hose
Back pack
So I opted for the bright yellow back pack as it will be easier to fit into the boot and I can just carry it to the house as and when it is needed.
My initial thoughts as they have just been delivered and unpacked are this;
I am not liking the hose, its quite stiff and holds its shape ie wrapping up. Guess I need to run hot water through it to unravel and prevent it curling back up the same. I had no such issues with the rhino hose (wish i had spare of that but used it all in last couple of years).
The pole.
My last hybrid pole was the phoenix 25 and I hardly used it as I had the carbon slx pole. Another reason was because the pole had quite a bit of flex in it. However the clx range gets high praise and a mate (who im taking water from) really likes his clx pole as well. I can understand why, as it seems a great pole, especially for the price of it. Fully extended and it seems to hold its length nicely. Sure there is a little flex in it but absolutely no where near the flexibility of my phoenix pole I had.
I also like the shortened collapsed length of the pole. I also expected it to be heavy in comparison to the carbon pole I used everyday (slx 25 with 2 extensions on). Yet and this is just the pole, no brush. It feels quite heavy compared to the phoenix 25 and probably same weight as my carbon that I used. All said though, it looks and feels a great pole for what I need it for.
The brush, yep its lighter than my brick I used before and the bristles do feel quite stiff as well. A feature that I like. I could be wrong about my other brush then!
The four fan jets will have to wait until im using the brush for the day to get a true feeling for.
