Title: Gardeners pole hose
Post by: Slash on June 01, 2017, 05:29:21 pm
I've noticed my pole hose has expanded  alot,almost to the size of my  6mm hose on reel,is this normal in warm weather,the pole is about 3 months old,after the univalve is fine  in the gooseneck.

Same problem with mine, it's making the tubeless ejector sleeve a pain to use as it doesn't slide up and down smoothly.
I think the only cure is new pole hose.

If it's the yellow stuff it does do that sometimes in the warm. Not usually for about 12 months though.

I had the same problem when using the yellow PVC hose. Try switching to the green PU pole hose.

Change to pu hose - I'm surprised that you haven't already as you have a uni valve

Problem I'm finding with PU hose though is it kinks at the bottom  of the pole when I stand the pole up or especially when I put poles back in their tube holders in the van. It eventually splits after 6 months or so. I was thinking of putting sponge or similar at the base of my pole holders (4" soil pipe) in my van. Any ideas?
