Title: 45ft pole
Post by: ray l on February 11, 2010, 08:20:49 pm

When I had the 45ft out yesterday the pump kept starting/stopping causing a reduced flow at the head
When I changed over to 18ft pump went back to normal. This happened twice.

Anyone come acrose this before.

Cheers Ray

It could be somethimg as simple as the pole hose inside the top section  having a slight kink

What size hose do you use?

Some report problems with 6mm.

Could be the longer length of smaller diameter pole hose cutting the pump out.  It happens to me as well when I use my 45ft.  I'm thinking of getting slightly thicker hose.
