Dear dave,thanku so much indeed ,for this info.exelkent

[@squeakycleandave1]

glad it was useful Stephen

[@JamesSmith-bs9rx]

That is the best information I've seen on connections I've watched lots of videos on RUclips about water feed poles an all the in an outs but never found any information about connecting a half inch hose standard garden hose to a water feed pole so from half insh to 6mm or 8mm
You see all the videos only showing 6mm or 8mm on poles run from pumps
I want to buy my own pole either ova8 or Gardiner slx not as a business but more to do with owning a large property and wanting to do my own windows and faciers in the long run a good set up will pay for its self over the years but I was unsure about the water supply part as I've only seen poles run off 6mm or 8mm directly run from pumps with in a van never from a garden hose

[@squeakycleandave1]

H James
Im not sure how much research you have done into the water purification part of water fed pole window cleaning. I only use tape water to clean UPVC or conservatory roofs as the water isn't pure enough to do glass without leaving water marks.
If you would like me to walk you through what you need to consider feel free to drop me an email [e-mail] or give me a call 07956222348

[@ched999uk]

Have a great holiday Dave.

[@squeakycleandave1]

Thanks Ched

[@VendsysselVinduespolering]

Thanks for the walk through. I use the first one. In denmark they're called EZ snap. Only problem is that it snaps open if it hits any "bumps" on the road or a corner of a wall.
And i actually ude the JG on both sides of my Uni-valve, in case it breaks down, i can replace it quickly, or if i need jo change hose. And of course JG on the brush

[@tightmarker9924]

[@JasonDunlop247]

Thank you Dave. Personally detest those slip connectors , a real horrible bulky leaky connection. I'm happy you've been lucky with them though.

[@squeakycleandave1]

Like I said marmite 👍

[@darrynpurvis1577]

Enjoy your holiday

[@Only1_Rudeboy]

I am impressed of your videos ! 07:32 I worked severall years with those hose connectors, but the problem is that the metal claws inside the fitting are getting worn because you are alway streching the hose and these claws are not made for it. I´m currently looking for another solution and so far I really like those one at 0:45. Have to try them

[@LordNeillWyatt]

Thanks buddy very helpful

Glad it was useful 👍

[@mrb1983]

Thank you Dave 👍🏼 where did you get the sleeve for the pole hose to John guest fitting from?

[@squeakycleandave1]

If I’ve got the right piece that you mean it’s the Go Tubeless from Exceed Innovation ex-ceedinnovation.co.uk/shop/go-tubeless/go-tubeless-pole-kit/

[@clearviewmind]

Up until now I’ve just dragged my pump to hose real pipe hanging out the back door, but of course this has security risks of having my equipment stolen. do you have any videos or can you give me advice so I can have the hose running from underneath the van with the doors locked? Thanks very much in advance.

[@squeakycleandave1]

I haven't got any videos on it personally but a lot of the suppliers offer rollers to put through the floor

[@clearviewmind]

Thanks a lot Dave.
What is it I need to be searching for specifically?

[@ledarc8332]

Hi, where does the black sleeve connector come from please? (8.11 in video) can't find them anywhere. Cheers

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

What would you suggest would be the best way of joining two pieces of microbore together?
Really annoys me having to throw away so much hose when a small part of it wears thin and bursts.
Finding something to join the hose that can cope with being dragged over the ground day after day without snagging or wearing out or simply failing from something driving over it I've found challenging

[@squeakycleandave1]

This is probably the best but I would use o clips instead of jubilee clips then wrap it in insulation tape

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

@@squeakycleandave1 yeah tried that.... Sheared in half. I think stainless steel is stronger than brass.
But the ears from the orings snag on every little thing.... Pull on em enough times and they begin to open up and leak

[@lensthroughlife9420]

Hello, can I use a 8mm ID for the pole? Does it work and does it have have any benefits?

[@squeakycleandave1]

Hi
Yes can use it If you did you would be able to get a much higher flow rate. The downside is that it would make the pole very heavy
