im finding it a bit awkward having to go to backpack to turn waterflow tap off while cleaning windows all the time to save my water, too valuable to waste.     what devices would be suitable for me to connect to my pole setup clx as for me to stop waterflow from backpack,  ive heard you have to drill 2 holes into your pole for fitting a trigger, not sure i want to drill holes into my pole.   what are you using for your backpack setup,  without causing any damage,      loosing too much water.

I carry mine on my back so just switch it off when i want to stop flow

Hold it in your hand while cleaning and turn water flow on or off

im getting a headache and mad ith myself,  orered stuff for wfp setup,  paid 4,  then you remember you need something else,  more silly postage to  get small things i need.    rushing too much   want it all in one go., mistakes.  ordered a male microbore conector to go onto my backpack tap to swich over to male setup.    £4+  to post it,     the size of a 3/4 nut.
Thought they might have given me it free as there one atached was not correct fitting for my pole.
 Got a free gift from Gardiners today, a froo tube cutter,   nice one,  i would rather of had a brush head.
Rushed into getting 1/4 ro tubing from ebay  99p meter  gardiners = 28p per meter. SLOW DOWN AND LOOK AROUND.

does anyone have any add on to their poles to clip extra tubing onto  to,   to save hose from pole  trailing all over the floor, when using.

make a list of what you needed, call supplier and ask so you insure you get the right parts, Simples. Lesson for next time I guess, Gardiners don't sell some of the bits |I need so have to shop at a few (which is annoying but they do things backawrds to me so thats life (Alex may cave in at some point and convert to the better way of using restud fittings, but not holding my breath

i use a back pack and i have a little inline fuel tipe tap on my pole pipe just before the Y piece a simple on and off and that save no end

Work with an external pole hose and just nip a handy bit of hose and your pump stops.  No bending down, no faffing about, and I worked this way for years.

Simple.

[Tom White]

Oh, if it's that naff yellow hose that Gardiners provide with their brilliant poles, change it for some decent hose that cuts the water off when you nip the hose.

That yellow hose is not very good IMO.

Not only that, no having to find the tap. I once fitted a tap to the hose and within 20 minutes it became clear I'd wasted my money.

I use microbore hose made by streamline. 20 months on, I'm still using it and still putting countless kinks in it everyday to stop the flow between windows.

[johnny bravo]

yellow pole hose a wee bit ti rigid to nip togeather, prob get a little tap fitted to hose at end of pole or may bungee backpack to small light trolley and tie back the BP. tap to trolley handle  save me bending down to turn tap off all the time.

[johnny bravo]

Been trying to think of a way to clip extra  loose tubing from pole  so it rests onto pole save dragging it along the floor when not needed, like a hoover clip as you do with the cord when wrapping it around but keeping it loose   for water to run through.

not sure how much hose you have on your backpack but never found this an issue.
I carry my pack by the handle and shortened the hose so its only long enough to zip tie to the handle with a 1/2" hose adapter and hoselock with tap.
when cleaning backpack is always right beside me and takes a second to reach down and turn off the flow.

I know what you mean.
I decided to do away with microbore fittings all together and reverted to hose locks with taps and barbed adapters. All locally bought (adapters and inline taps from an auto parts shop and hoselocks available virtually everywhere from b&q to poundland)
cheap, no postage , no waiting, no down time.

cheers,  ive just bungeed it to trolley so tap is tied to top of trolley handle so its hand height,  looks the part., practise sat- sun., got idea from waggas you tube videos

[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

[richardlingard]
