Title: Nip, kink or bend?
Post by: JackieW on January 16, 2013, 09:06:41 pm
As I understand it,

Is ''nipping'' the pole hose getting it between finger and thumb and squeezing it to stop flow? If so I haven't got the strength to do it.

I ''bend'' the pole hose back on itself to form a ''kink'' to stop the flow.

Do you nip or bend? If it's not too personal a question.

I bend the hose, but this method doesn't work with all pole hose.  The yellow stuff Gardiner's used to supply didn't cut the flow when you bend it, but the hose I got with my aquadapter's did.

I didn't get on with my aquadapters; I sold them on; but kept the hose which I think is class.

Kink.

No aquadapter and hose outside the pole.

After a while, it becomes a very easy and simple habit.

I now cannot understand why anyone would want the hose inside the pole and why anyone has that extra weight on the end of the pole. The same goes for a flow controller. Why have one?

There's got to be many different brands of hose out there, but it's never happened with the pole hose I've used.  I use the stuff aquadapter sell.

Trouble with Aquadapter's is they are addictive. After using one for a month nothing else spread's the peanut butter better. Then you need to buy more for your not used much poles cos you are addicted to them.
