Title: External pole hose
Post by: Spruce on May 30, 2007, 09:19:02 pm

Hi

I have tried to find a recent post on suggestions for replacemant External Pole Hose.

I have an Unger Teleplus 5 pole with the hose running externally as it is usually used as a 3 pole for 95% of the time.

The unit came with reinforced 10mm OD clear PVC hose. Although I am reasonably happy with it (except in winter when it becomes less flexible). Are there any other alternatives that you find work better?

I do have an Unger brush I use for cleaning conservatories which has a very soft supply hose but find it difficult to work with as it kinks easily - just standing on the hose accidently stops the water flow.

I appreciate your comments

Thanks

Spruce

Hi,
 if you look in b and q... you will find their clear tubing works brilliant, it does not kink and wraps away nice and easy... and very cheap.

Put the hose in warm to hot water,this will make the hose very flexible.After you take it out of the water wrap it in loops as you would when about to store it in the van etc,when it cools down you`ll find that it will keep the shape,i do this in the winter with mine every couple of weeks when its very cold.
