Cheers, guys, I'll get some Gardiner's Red then.
Tangles don't worry me too much since I like to keep the pole hose very short (the length of the pole - maybe a bit shorter).
@Elitemike, yes, mate, we still work with the pole hose outside the pole. We've tried various stuff with regards taps and aquadapters over the years, but this is the way we find we prefer to work.
