Univalve - first time
« on: March 26, 2016, 04:54:06 pm »
Well I finally got round to fitting the univalve on two of my poles and did 3 hours this Saturday morning .
Very impressive , the response to the tug of the hose is instant and after awhile you just forget about it .
Awesome product .
Will fit to my 3rd pole that is used mostly for Facia cleans

I too received my first univalve this morning, have never had anything other than the tap from gardiners.  Simple instructions to fit and very light too.

Tried it out at home today and have to say I was really pleased. Well worth the money in my opinion.

I thought the same only bought one for my everyday pole, don't want to be messing about holding a pole one handed at height although saying that you can actually operate the univalve with your foot by standing on the hose!
WE CLEAN BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT WITH WATER FED POLE WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHT.

Hi guys

Never used anything like this in over 20 years wfp

Allways just bent the hose with fingers never had an issue

I've got to say it's absolutely awesome

I've bought five and few spares also set up the 4 hose reels with tubeless kit

Must admit sinse  the extreme poles and brushes it one most simple innovative bit kits on market

I absolutely love it, really enjoy using it

No problem Dezmond . Didn't know it was yourselves that ordered.

Used mine today on a residential block and another plus is it doesn't switch off when you clean balcony grills . As its protected inside the pole .

Best gadget in the industry . Hardly needs tugging

Well done Steven , deserve it

£5 delivery?  Really?
£9 when you add a 2nd?!

I sorry, but why let a little matter of postage fog the benefits of buying 2 Univalves from Exceed?

I bought 2 from one of the suppliers selling them. I paid £5.30 postage. WOW. But I also paid 20% VAT on top of the items and postage.
Total cost for two Univalves = £78.58 (Oh I also got no O Clips with them.)

Exceed 2 X £29.99 + postage = £68.98 (O Clips included in the package.)

If you have an issue then I'm confused.

If you still think that postage it too expensive and you won't consider purchasing 1 then you have just turned your back on the best shut off valve on the market at this moment in time. Its your loss tbh.

I felt a bit like trafficjamz re postage. But then read your post Spruce and thought, 'Do I think they're worth £35 each?' The answer was yes! So what's my problem. They're a brilliant bit of kit. They have added ££s to each day's work so far.
Thanks Spruce and thanks Steve at Ex-Ceed

I just don't get the thought behind the postage prices. It remindedm me a bit of the ol' ebay items with £1 buy it now +£30 postage.

I understand he might have a flat rate for postage, but for such a small item that 2 could fit easily in the same jiffy and would fit through a letterbox, I don't see how the postage almost doubles.

I see what you're saying about the value you have put on the item, but surely that should reflect on the cost of the item.
Maybe Steve doesn't even realise the website is doing that.  I was just throwing it out there just in case there was a problem.

Wouldn't worry about it traffic. Especially if you think the overall cost is good compared with the benefits to you.   :)
Speaking personally, I easily cover £20 worth of work a day more than I did with my previous tap/trigger.

This is CIU buddy- the only place where members earn £400-£500 a day then spend Three whole days trying to save a Fiver on a pump! ;D
The only place where you can lose One under paid, terrible job then immediately pick up Three more at triple the price! ;D
There's so much Bovine manure spread around here that I think some have contracted mad cow disease!! But hey ho, it's entertaining none the less. :)

Ok guys, you win. I'll view it at £35 for the univalve and £1 for delivery. Now that's cheap delivery! How does he do it for that much?    ;D

Same people moan about a £3 fitting or usually create a post titled

"Best, cheapest battery?"
