I'm after some pole hose that when you bend it - it stops the water flow easily.
The last lot I had that did this was from Aquadapter, but they keep on changing their stuff.
Anyone know of any?
-
Gardiners red you can.
Takes some getting used to on cold water as it tangles a lot.
But based purely on 'pinchability' its pukka.
Ive just bought a new pole with yellow 'cold water' hose.
But not used it yet so can't comment on that.
Hope it can be pinched though

How you doing Tosh , are you still using your hose outside the pole?

I havn't got a link to the stuff, but i'm pretty sure its silicone hose you are looking for . I remember Jeff Brimble was a big advocate of it. Might be used for airlines etc.. but it is silicone hose you want. I'll go have a quick look....

I could never get it leak free. What fittings do you use. Do you just use o clips.

We use the Gardiners hot pole hose. It does coil a bit but you get used to it - it's pinchability is excellent!

I pinched some from B&Q last week.

:) I never got it too work. I still have some in the garage. The barbs on the fittings were too big. Unless I got the wrong one.

normal fittings , bugger to get them on tho I have used in the past just string tied very tightly and it works as well as o clips or cable ties :) I kid you not 8)
I like the way you can control the flow with your feet or hand 8)
-
Streamline microbore is pretty good stuff for pinching....
I'm not quite sure how to write that sentence without sounding like the big red cock. ??? ;D

I remember the Green pole hose from Unger was good for stopping the flow by pinching the hose.
What was that hose made of?

Gardiners red you can.
Takes some getting used to on cold water as it tangles a lot.

Yep Gardiners red.

Cheers, guys, I'll get some Gardiner's Red then.
Tangles don't worry me too much since I like to keep the pole hose very short (the length of the pole - maybe a bit shorter).
@Elitemike, yes, mate, we still work with the pole hose outside the pole. We've tried various stuff with regards taps and aquadapters over the years, but this is the way we find we prefer to work.
