omg, diy... get out !!!! >-------------------------->>>>>>>










 ;) ::) ::) ;)

yeah nice, im after a reload, or ganster next, my zensor just isn't long enough some times.

the tap is supposed to slightly overlap the pole edge, for when you place it down, it s the tape that touches the floor. You pole ends are exposed and could easily chip, creating a fracture.

Funny how everyone likes it, then discovers its a fishing pole...  ;D

Laptop won't take my memory card at the moment. I cut the strengthened joint from the next discarded section and superglued the threaded part from a broom handle in. Then i have a plastic angle adapter screwed to that.

Good post good pics ! 
Is the Zensorflex dead ?
Long live the Energie.
Do you know if the Energie is manufactyred by a company called Zebco ? (ask them ?) it would be interesting to see if its just an upgrade to the zensor,

You need to get a few stretchy velcro's on the pole hose though.

Nice pics, good project, let us know how it performs and how long it lasts.

And would that be a supalite brush resting 17 foot in the air?

no you dont, just hold the pole upright, and turn it round wrapping the hose around the pole. simples

Yes Superlight brush. I don't know if the Zensorflex is dead Jeff or how this one compares. They just said they were having trouble getting hold of them. I did have a Zensorflex once for a day but sold it on again at a profit because the sections seemed too short - i was using a Reload at that time, but it does seem very similar.

Where do you live? Im from west oxfordshire and that house looks like it is built with cotswold stone which is used 95% here! (ok, I know, I sound like an anorak  - Just wondering if you are local??)

Looks like your pole is more professionally built than the bricks  ;D
How do you attach the plastic goosneck to the pole?
