Hi

Where do you all put your on/off taps on your hose i was thinking of putting mine about 1 metre from the bottom of the pole when fully extended ??

Also how do you fix it to your person ??

Could i use the buckle from my boab at all ??

These are questions that need answering guys 

All the best

Best putting your tap right at the end of you main hose so if you have more than one pole you only need one tap

And also get a tap holster from Varitech

Good point

But Gardiners are now selling one with  pushfit fittings which are made for 8mm od hose

I use the one from Gardiners and use cable ties to fix it on the end of each pole.

Can`t see the point in having a tap on each pole

What the pushfit ones ?

What do you use now ?

I only had one leak and that was probably because the hose wasnt push in far enough.

Now been ysing these for 2 months with no leaks at all. And i am very heavy handed.

I also have the bigger Gardiners tap on the end of microbore so I can disconnect the pole.

The reason i have a tap on each pole is to save water when moving from window to window.

All you need is one tap at the end of your main hose,then a tap holster on you hip to turn water on/ff

hi,
varitech sell a trigger  system £40 fits most poles, haven't got myself though,
but i am thinking of doing as taps are bit bulky (microbores) also expensive and take a hiding being dragged about.

I think trigger system on pole my 18ft one that does 98% of my work then just female microbore connectors with proteckta balls.

As said though constant spend

close the h and t

ive found its really handy ..you can turn off the flow between windows or if you have to stop for anything , without having to keep bending down to turn off tap when it s on a hose on the ground

Cheers Dave

i get the heavy duty taps.... same as people who sell them here.... and have it at the end of hose...... from pirtek.... half price and lots of free bits too.

I have the tap (small one) at the top on the gooseneck behind the brush when my pole is fully closed i only have a 2ft section of hose tail. i made the hole in the end cap bigger so it can take the quick release fittings up inside the pole i then extend the pole using my yellow hose .

end result is its a lot easier and quicker as there is less hose flapping about getting snagged
also any leaks go no where near me
