Pole came yesterday,      didnt open it till this morning,     got to get some excitment from somewhere,    it will be another 7 months before i get the chance to open anything again.
 :o ;D
Anyway when i opened it i thought whats that,     looked like a  half sized brush.     A lot smaller than i expected.    i hope its not too soft.      got 2 taps as well,  and 30 metre of all seasons pole hose, WHY   i dont know.   that should see me too retirement.

im praying this rain stops so i can get out to try it,  otherwise ill have to get out in morning.

pole looks class.       
Got a free hat also. Pen, and a clasp for when im abseiling ;)

1st class service from GARDINERS ,    ordered at 3pm thurs,    arrived 4pm next day.

id order all the time but getting small things  , its the delivery costs,   this is where wintecs come in for small items you need at short notice

well i got out today and used new SLX  + New brush

i seemed to get the cleaning done quicker for some reason,     the hybrid soft brush was great cleaning.   seemed good on ledges also, a good splay meaning more brush fibres spread out.     i like it that much im out again in morning till 1

got out today, everything went great untill the Pole Hose kept coming off the black  fitting supplied by gardiners on the end of the pole hose   to fit into the pushfit,      5 houses left and it kept coming off every time, twatty,    i was going to finish but a customer came to my rescue and put a cable tie onto the pole hose+ fitting,   brilliant.

then the nut come off the top clamp,  looking for it in a garden, luckilly i found it,   secured and got cracking on.       i wish i had a can of iron and brew.

hopefully all great again.     need to clean pole out now,      water in insides every time the pole hose deconnected itself,  must have been around 20 times i had to reconnect.
what a day

Hi Johnny

Strange for this to happen - did it disconnect from the barb side of the stem to barb adapter?

If so it will probably be worth, cutting the top 4cm of the pole hose off and pushing it back on to the barb firmly. This should allow it to re-grip the barb with fresh hose.

yes did that Alex,    it was going great for a couple of hours then all of the sudden the pole hose kept coming off the barb stem itself, , cut hose reconnected onto barb fitting,     it kept slipping off.       i couldnt remove the fitting from the pushfit  otherwise i would have just pushed the hose into the pushfit  fitting.
anyway a cabletie got put on to hose +barb.         all went well  and got finished.

apart from that everything ok,   greatly impressed with the performance of the brush.      great for cleaning window sills.

ill deffo be getting another one for my CLX.       A much better brush than the superlite DMT
