When using a backpack - do you lengthen the hose on it or do you just use what is available on your pole hose?
-
Just the pole hose. Backpack on sacktruck goes everwhere I go mostly anyway, when I use it these days.
-
Just pole hose. If it's only a couple of awkward windows I'll just put enough water in to do those, so won't even bother with a sack truck.
-
just changed the hose from yellow kinky gardiners to super orange from ionics, took the opportunity to lengthen the hose and can now do a whole side of the house without moving the backpack.
As the new hose, which is imported from italy dosent kink or twist its now a much better set up.

I started using quite a long length of pole hose, but it kinks and twists so bad
will try that orange stuff!!
Where 'd you order it, mine is the clear stuff got it from wcw i think ?
-
I've done both, having no extra hose on the backpack and also have extra hose pole hose plugged in with nifty little ez couplings. Have the extra pole hose is the way to go, I have 2 lengths 1 of 10m and the other of 20m. It's geat to just put the backpack on the floor and do a load of windows before you move it again.

and the pole hose orange code R1236A at 1.15 per metre tuboi elastollan 1190,5x8 orange
