Title: Looking at getting a new pole
Post by: jonathan lorentsen on October 26, 2013, 05:27:07 pm
Got a Gardiner CLX which is about 2 1/2 years old but starting to show signs of wear. dont know whether to get another one or go for something else. Been looking at this on Jets website and it looks like it has 50 pound off

I looked at the reach-iT pole and looks a bit dear.

Might order one very cheap light and short.
Sounds a bargain.

Aqua adaptor ones out soon , light , full carbon and good clamps I've heard .
I'd imagine the aqua adaptor will easily fit onto it as well.

Why anyone would want a light pole spoiled by the weight of an aquadapter at it's whip-end is beyond me.

GOLD its just such an easy way of controlling your water flow.yes it adds slightly more weight but an extreme with AD is still VERY light!the benefits far outway the extra weight IMO.

i only have my AD on my main day to day pole not on the 47 footer.at these heights its better to have a pole hose tap.

Looks a bit hippy to me, and an 18 footer is not long enough for my everyday work
Could be worth a try, although I cannot understand why people who are trying to sell an expensive item think a home made video outside the house while wearing no shoes and bright ghastly socks would bring orders flooding in...


Hopefully the AD pole would have a fully integrated aqua tap permanently fitted

Apart from the fact that adding extra weight to the end of a pole you've spent hundreds on is mental you can't control the flow with an aqua adapter its on or off ;D

DG - that's not strictly true,  you can if you wish turn the 'tap' by the brush head and have lower flow, defeats the objective of the tap really but thought I'd let you know  ;)

Would be interested to know what conditions you would like to use a dribble rather than the flow you have set at the controller?

Gardiners recommend not using a aqua dapter with the extreme!

I've got some houses with cladding on the front.
 Now I know its pure water but by the time its run down the cladding and hit the bottom windows it isn't pure anymore and leaves marks.
I just turn the flow down a little on my pole tap to prevent as much water going down the cladding so it dries quicker.
I do this on problem bays also or anywhere else drips.might cause a problem.
