omg, diy... get out !!!! >-------------------------->>>>>>>










 ;) ::) ::) ;)

yeah nice, im after a reload, or ganster next, my zensor just isn't long enough some times.

the tap is supposed to slightly overlap the pole edge, for when you place it down, it s the tape that touches the floor. You pole ends are exposed and could easily chip, creating a fracture.

Funny how everyone likes it, then discovers its a fishing pole...  ;D

Laptop won't take my memory card at the moment. I cut the strengthened joint from the next discarded section and superglued the threaded part from a broom handle in. Then i have a plastic angle adapter screwed to that.

Good post good pics ! 
Is the Zensorflex dead ?
Long live the Energie.
Do you know if the Energie is manufactyred by a company called Zebco ? (ask them ?) it would be interesting to see if its just an upgrade to the zensor,

You need to get a few stretchy velcro's on the pole hose though.

Nice pics, good project, let us know how it performs and how long it lasts.

And would that be a supalite brush resting 17 foot in the air?

no you dont, just hold the pole upright, and turn it round wrapping the hose around the pole. simples

Yes Superlight brush. I don't know if the Zensorflex is dead Jeff or how this one compares. They just said they were having trouble getting hold of them. I did have a Zensorflex once for a day but sold it on again at a profit because the sections seemed too short - i was using a Reload at that time, but it does seem very similar.

Looks like your pole is more professionally built than the bricks  ;D
How do you attach the plastic goosneck to the pole?
