Re: my new slx 30 review

I use a slx 30 all day everyday, but with no aqua dapter.

Its ok for weight for me-also works the old shoulder muscles n abs imo.

Cracking pole with the gooseneck and extreme brush. Only slight bug is the john guest fitting keeps coming undone if the hose snags-but that's my little grumble done.

Top pole

yeah my john guest fitting came loose for exacly that reason today! but i love my pole more each day! :-*

You know what I'm going to say  :) - drop me an email on alex@agardiner.co.uk and I can sort this for you.

There should be one of the above fittings on the end of the yellow pole hose on either side of the John Guest fitting that comes with the QR goosenecks - I'll be speaking to the Workshop tomorrow to check this is being done as standard.



thanks alex! thats really good of you and i'll get on to it asap! by the way did i mention... i love my pole!   ;D

what trigger would you recomend before i go and buy the Aquadapter?

Hi GB,

You'll guess what I think ;)  However, I'll just remind you that we have a 1 month money back guarantee, so you can try the Aqua-dapter and if you don't like it you can return it for a full refund.

That's what Dave@S2none did a few months back, then he came back and bought another Aqua-dapter a week or 2 ago :)

It's a question of convenience, no loop of hose etc.  Lightness is of course very important, but it's a very small increase in weight, after which most customers say they can work faster and more conveniently with an Aqua-dapter.

Paul

thanks pual, thats really good to hear! i think in that case i'll more than likely try one cos like you said if i dont like it i can always send it back!  8)

give it a chance GB.WHEN YOU GET YOUR AQUA-DAPTOR USE IT FOR 2 WEEKS THEN MAKE YOUR MIND UP!!


its defo less hassle than having a loop of hose.you get used to the extra weight which is miniscule really.the pole hose is really good as well.

i wouldnt want to be without one now.as your using an slx with extreme brush your pole will be very light anyway.
price higher/work harder!

Ive been using my new slx30 this week, and tbh,  im a little disapointed.
I know its the lightest most rigid pole on the market,
But i did expect it to feel a little lighter and a little more rigid.
Perhaps My expectations are too high  ::)

You could try one of these Steve.

It's a quick release insert which clamps (not glues) into the No-2 section of you slx. Basically you remove the thinnest section & use the pole as a 25ft pole & it's now lighter & more rigid. You can then just unclamp & remove this to add your original No-1 section to achieve 30ft when required.

Hope that may be of help.

IMO the 25ft slx is a true all day pole, the 30ft might just be tipping the balance in this regard.

Also, could Alex G confirm the fit?

I only use the slx30 for the higher stuff,
I use the slx18 for my everyday pole.
