Title: Ground floor pole
Post by: Flash.. on April 25, 2012, 05:51:42 pm: I have been using a DIY water fed pole made out of a Harris Pole for ground floor windows but its worn out, I was thinking of getting a Gardiners CLX 10 but thought I would see what everyone else uses? I have a SLX 25 for most of my work and love it but the small handmade pole is nice for conservatorys and bungelows so think I will get another small pole.
Any Ideas/recomendations?

Post by: dazmond on April 26, 2012, 08:39:14 am: ive converted a small unger trad pole into a wfp but to be honest i only use it for cleaning the van with a vikan brush on the end.

i carry 2 poles in the van

22ft CLX with standard angle adaptor/flocked brush

25ft SLX with carbon gooseneck/radius sill brush(medium)

i tend to mainly use the 25ft SLX for everything including ground floor.if its a really tight space i trad the windows.its easier and quicker than going back to the van for another pole!! ;) ;D ;D
