i have a new clx pole with the yellow pole hose, and the pole hose snapped today, never had that before, is it because its a more plasticy type of hose? more brittle? thanks

[wfp master]

maybe the cold weather making it harder. i use the same but its not snapped.

Used to keep getting tiny pin holes and splits in mine, ditched it now and found some old clear stuff i ordered off gardiners years ago, much better imo.

i notice it gets tangled quite a lot but should not snap like that

[andyatkinson]

thanks, i think thats what it is, it really does tangle and twist up and think its just done this enough times until its snapped

had a game with it today had to get the wife standing on the end while i stretched it to it full length. might tape it up with insulation tape to strenghten it a bit.

I've got the same stuff on my slx pole. I've noticed that the colder it is the more stiffer the hose gets, bit of a pain really!!!

Have they changed the pole hose recently? I got a clx a month ago (not used it yet) and the pole hose is a deeper shade of yellow than on my older clx.

[andyatkinson]

not sure, this stuff is really thick and hard plastic

[matthewprice]

i had the yellow hose on 2 slx poles both burst within 8 weeks,replaced with ionics orange ,but seems hard and twists must have changed from the ionic poles i bough 2 years ago,i now have a slx 35 with the yellow pole hose and because its not used all the time the hose is fine ,better to work with ,really  need a hose that works better

I just got a new 22 ft clx when ordering it gave me a choice between Normal hose or soft hose i chose the soft its great cant belive how nice as on my 27clx its got the hard stuff and its a real pain in the arse so will be getting in touch with gardiners for some more soft hose

seems alot of this pole hose that everyone is selling is really not cut out for wfp.

Would love a supplier to look into this and sort out an anti kink pole hose.
B&Q's clear hose is just as good as any of the coloured hose suppliers are selling right now and cheaper.

streamline clear hose from purefreedom seemed less hassle than the coloured stuff

[Dave Willis]

I've tried all sorts this year. just put some yellow hose on from Sureclean - best I've used so far.

[simonr]

been using a clx 27 with the soft yellow hose all day every day worked since i got it in august & never a problem i think its great

[andyatkinson]

this isnt soft. this is hard plastic

[DeLuce]

I've been using the Gardiner hard pole hose for a year now on my SLX 25 and although it twists up a little more in the cold weather it certainly shouldn't snap   . I'd get in touch with Gardiners if I were you, I'm sure they'll sort you out add they take a pride in their products and customer service   

[Richard iSparkle]

i;ve had the same problem with all my yellow gardiner hoses.  seems pretty rubbish stuff to be honest.  i replace it before i use a new pole of theirs now.  i do however love my CLX.  brilliant and well priced pole

[GB Window Cleaning]

i love gardiners but i couldnt get on with there pole hose everytime i stood on it it stoped the water flow which was very anoying, due to the fact its to soft. now ive got the aquadapter pole hose ive not had any problems

sorry gardiners but its true 

[Pope vader]

i know a lot had probs with it as it was very soft,  and a lot loved it becasue it was soft, i think alex gives a choice now on which one to have,  once again he has listen to the people who actually use the stuff, instead of telling us what we should think

[Moderator David@stives]

Some of the new pole hose is lethal when doing shop work, all pole hose should lie flat like it used to.
