    Good installation Ashley.. tip I always double clip the pole tubing from the end of the pole tip to the brush head .. prevents the tubing slipping on the clip over time from tugging on the uni valve 👍

    Swivel on the gooseneck and a hoseless setup has been the biggest gamechangers for me. And the new type of gooseneck with the pushfit looks like the next upgrade 👍

    Anyways I'm kinda hoping you would agree with this. BUT is there anychance you could extend the slx gardener & the ionic hydra 24 pole out side by side. Just want to see if the 22 slx is the same length extended. As the hydra. I'm dying to get a slx gardener.

    • @aemackintosh
      @aemackintosh  3 года назад

      It’s a tough one, there are pros and cons to each. I will have to do a video to explain fully. There are so many accessories for the slx that it’s so versatile. The clamps on the phantom are not as easy to use as the others but it’s a very durable pole. The Ova8 is so ace, but it’s not quite as robust and it requires a bit more maintenance, but it’s such a joy to use with the oval shape. Personal preference at the end of the day?😬👍🏼

    Hi Ash, my new Gardiner WFP came today but my gooseneck is different to yours, it has a piece of pipe coming out the top and it looks like you have to attach the pole pipe to the bottom of the gooseneck. Will the univalve still work with this set up?? Seems like where the pipe attaches to the base of the gooseneck will be a weak point when tugging on the univalve.
