Gardiner pole buying advice
« on: December 11, 2014, 10:25:06 pm »
I want to purchase a gardiner pole

Im considering the SLX 2 but unsure which would be the best length for everyday domestic and occasional commercial work?

Also what brush and gooseneck - to get with it?

I currently use a rectus 21 female going onto a male tap - the purefreedom type reel.

Thanks

You mean SLX-22? Great for domestics, get a swivel resi neck. It takes some getting used to, but you'll love it after a while. Not sure it will be long enough on commercial though.
We look at them, they look through them.

normal resi neck with an extreme medium mixed brush is my choice and a carbon gooseneck for deep ledge windows. ;)
price higher/work harder!

I use a SLX 25. Normally I use only 2 sections. Now if I got a SLX 18 would I then be using 3 sections?Lots more hassle, but lighter

Go and get an SLX and come back with a comparison.

Not much difference between the new clx27 which I have got and a slx
of almost equilivant length when it comes to weight and ridgity (which a friend
of mine uses) on normal straight up and down cleaning.

However you can feel some difference if you have to support the weight
of the pole fully extended at a flatter angle ,not enough to bother me personally
but I can imagine it would bother a lot of people.
