Title: Yellow pole hose.
Post by: Klean07 on September 30, 2010, 08:43:46 am: My new slx pole came with this yellow hose which looks and feels like electric cable. But I don't like it at all. Everytime I get pole from van there I am spending valuble minutes trying to unwind the damn thing. Even though after every job I gather it up and put on a hook in my van.

Therefore could someone recommend something else that doesnt kink, its flexible etc. My slx is 30ft. But I've got an extra 20ft to play with for when I'm using backpack.

facelift hose minght be ok for you , but i would give the yellow hose a bit longer and see if it gets any better with more use .

Post by: Wc Solutions on September 30, 2010, 12:52:35 pm: thats odd - i just took del of my new clx a few weeks ago and it came with this almost floresant yellow hose.

its the same pole hose that comes with the aqau dapter and i find it works well.

i also have the yellow pole hose gardiners sell seperately and thats ok to.

if i was you i would give the hose time to 'settle' - it may work fine after a while ...

wintecs also sell some good pole hose ... or try giving john hewitt a ring
