Very good.
I'm trying to think of a reason why not to convert to this system.

I like it Steve, but I have one concern.
When you pull the hose to release the ejector sleeve, do you risk momentarily switching the water on ?
Not a huge issue, would only be a second or so and could be overcome by switching pump off first.
But in a real world situation e.g. working on a busy street, if you were not paying attention could there be a risk of blasting some passer by with water ?

True, just have to watch were your aiming, or switch it on just before you disconnect?

Great video, thanks!

If you're using this with, say a 50ft pole wouldn't the sleeve ejector be too far up the inside of the base of the pole to reach it to squeeze the sides to eject it (because the distance from the end of the top section would be further from the bottom of the pole due to the extra sections and clamp height)?

Also my Gardiner extreme poles don't have bungs at the bottom of the sections, would this matter or make a difference?

only on xtreme poles but I am developing some end caps that allow you to use on xtreme.

Can those uni valves be fitted to any pole and used as a tap replacement to the aqua dapper steve?

I'm well thick still can't understand how that tubeless pole works  ;D ;D

Hi Steve.

Want to get tubeless setup.

Don't want to cut pole straight away.
Do you supply the collar/spacer?

No problem if not basically what size pipe is it?
Where from b&q Wickes?

When is omni-valve due early December?

Want to order tubeless and omnivalve together.
Thanks.
Lee.

Yes, it comes with the spacer, all you need to get going.

hoping December, you can add the valve later easy enough if you like.

Hi  Steve.
Thanks for your answers.

I'll probably wait just do altogether at once.

Definitely getting fed up with pole hose seems to get knotted quite easily  ;D

Thanks lee

£45 for conversion  seems a lot off money

You get 15m of quality hose and the fittings will last 5 x longer, and the convenience of working this way I guarantee  will outweigh the cost.

Compared to what?
I'm not sure you can buy this anywhere else atm
If you took the time to look at the cost of each item, you would see the kit represents good value.
The benefits of  no pole hose, much less over spilt water from the pole hose, longer lasting fitting and the fact Stevon has to make a profit.
It's good value IMO  but it's your £45
