Telescopic pressure cleaning lance
« on: April 19, 2024, 06:37:57 pm »
Have these come on since the old heavy bendy ones of old? I'm looking for a reasonably short one around 20ft which will be used reasonably low pressure before and after soft washing three sides of a sand stone church. Any links to suppliers would be great .

I converted a CLX for any bits where I cant reach with a normal 2 meter lance

Slacky I think used an SLX for his roof cleaning works

How do you adapt a WFP to accommodate a pressure wash set up?? remember taping lance to an unger pole back in the day, but I'm sure there's a better method  :)

Yes I'd be interested in converting one of my older poles to work from my pressure washer too.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

I think gardiners have some fittings - not sure

I had some made for me - it’s a bit rough 7 years on but still better than a “professional “ p/w lance

Just noticed that Rutland Pumps sell the WFP pressure cleaning conversion kits, I'll have a read up and see what I need to fit on a new SLX https://www.rutlandpumps.com/watertek-one-man-power-pole-conversion-kit-30ft-m22-outlet-with-slider-trigger.html

Yea, that's it.

I am selling mine in a month.

The pole (40' I think), P/W hose, adapter and FSC for roofs and solar panels.

I'll be selling my pressure washer as well, along with buffer tank, lances and hard surface FSC.

Remember you will have to take the top section out to accommodate the ali adapter. You'll end up with a 30 foot pole.

They can be pretty awkward to use at 30 foot. Forget any angled work, youll be either straight across ie a roof,  or almost straight up.

Cable ties? Carbon Fibre Pole?  ;D
It's a game of three halves!

Seen a few people on you tube using the lances to pressure wash fsg. Looks a lot easier than using the wfp. Might get one for this purpose.

Believe me its not

if you think an SLX is heavy then your in for a big surprise and you have to cope with the pressure - I found you had to tuen it down so low it didn't really do a good job and you run the risk of filling the eaves up with water
