Pole hose. In or out the pole? Going to try it outside this week.

I have always had the pole hose in but I carry a microfiber to give it a rub before extending the pole
helps stop grit getting inside the pole.
Cuts down on wear.

inside pole hose with aqua-daptor for me on my main day to day pole.its the easiest and fastest way to work IMO.

i hated working with outside pole hose with no aqua-daptor.it just slowed me down and increased the faffing around instead of cleaning.

heaviest way too! sorry Daz but a xtreme with a aqua dapter,what a joke!
if you are too tight with water,buy a bigger tank!

So an aqua-dapter on a heavier pole is the way to go   ???
Don't really understand that comment ben.
An extreme with an AD on is the lightest possible combination if the AD is your preferred pole tap.

what a waste to spend over £550 on a xtreme 25 and get the lightest pole in the world if you add a aqua dapter, i am not the only one to think the same thing actually:
from gardiner website: We do not recommend the use of an Aquadapter or similar devices on Xtreme Poles - select our pole flow valve option if required
 ;)

If you can afford it, then its still better than a SLX with a AD on.

Aqua adapter is a good idea if its light enough.
I don't have one because I like to turn the flow down a bit on upstairs if I think its going to drip a lot

the thing is ben have you ever tried a 25 extreme with the latest aqua-daptor on and extreme brush?

it really is fantastic and VERY light.its nothing to do with being "tight" with water.its just easier and faster to control water flow and keeps wasted water to a minimum.

its cost me over £600 for an extreme 25 with AD.not wasted money at all IMO.work is a doddle!i love it! ;D ;D


best wishes

i would never ever work without an aquadapter, they are so light you really cant feel them, they save water, they save time and they save arsing around with the taps that break all the time and the little teeth come out, why dont you actually try an aquadapter for one week and then see what you think

my spring went today in my aqua adapter, and had to pinch the orange hose, which is quite easy to do, but even doing that after half hour was starting to irritate me, good job i had spares   ;D
