Am i the only person who uses a valve on my hip? I regulate the flow when required, and shut the water off between windows and whilst extending or retracting the pole?

Peter I'll buy an auobrush to try. How much are they.

At the mo I use vikan rectangular  mono with fans. Will your brush fit straight on my pole.
Not cheap. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D only kidding Pete.
Cheap is not always good in anything, some times it can be but others no.

I could not work out the site hence why I have not tried it as yet, but I know it was being changed some that comment means nothing.

I use gas valves but am changing all my poles over to triggers as i have been using one on one of my poles now for a couple of months and find it better.

Where in B&Q are these harris poles is it the decorating section or the cleaning section as our has poles in both sections.

I've only just caught on to your earlier comment and rewatched the video. From what I could see groundhogs pump and water is going from the moment he walks away from the van. His idea of skimping on everything is really quite expensive.

Hip, no. There is a better solution, a harness that goes over the head. (nicked the idea from Ian giles). This also ties in with my using an electric reel.

At the mo I use vikan rectangular  mono with fans. Will your brush fit straight on my pole.

Normally £69, but I do a reduction of £10 for my customers.  You can have one at the discounted price if your interested.  A bit dearer than a standard brush but there is a lot of work goes into making one up, not to mention all the extra parts involved which are engineered, as they can't be bought off the shelf.

I can set one up to fit any pole, but I take it yours will have the black plastic screw thread?  It would come with a black angle joint and fan sprays, and it would have a hose-tail end to fit any hose.

Peter, can you send me an invoice for one please to design@

I will take the discount aswell :)

my thoughts are if you dont try you dont know, and for that price I could well make that back in  a day so worth a try.

I'm quite surprised about all the posts saying that I am cleaning the windows too quickly! I was not trying to clean quickly, in fact I normally clean these houses much quicker and I will post a clip next week on cleaning quickly if you like, I was simply trying to demonstrate that the harris pole is a very affective pole, and that it is not neccessary to spend a fortune on a pole!!

I would be interested to compare if an slx or facelift user could post a clip of their pole in action!!!

I will send my email address as well if possible. I was waiting until end of June to buy with the new pole as well, but could do with the brush sooner.

I know the feeling groundhog.  I was expecting you to be cleaning much faster.  But do you understand what I mean about rushing between windows, and wasting all that water??
