This is strange - I work with these all the time and have never had one pop off in use or break in any way.
If one breaks in standard use then please feel free to contact us and we can arrange a replacement.
If the hose is popping off the barb then it may be worth cutting the last 1 or 2 cm off the pole hose and fitting it afresh over the barb - this should provide a fresh connection which will prove more durable.
hi alex i have cut it before and it did it again but i might have to re cut it to stop it doing it again untill the brass 1 turns up.
My other pole did the same and it snapped altogether but i had a spare 1 .
The brass might weigh more but defo be stronger.
Find out when i get a new 1
Regards
