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 👍
@@aemackintosh Love the ability to put on extra sections without having to take everything apart. And the long hose tailing behind the pole when it's not in use doesn't really do it for me... 😉
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 👍
Great video Ashley I've done one of my poles at the brush end with a cable tie works a treat and the other pole has the same metal clip and I'm going to double up with a cable tie. Thanks for doing the video Ashley and have a great week 👍🏻
Thanks so much for this! I bought a cheaper telescopic pole that nearly broke when I was assembling it! I’ll definitely get one of these instead. All the connections look way more secure and sturdy. Great video.
I hope you’re doing better now. Different WFP tools and systems are explained in my online training course: www.aemackintosh-onlinetraining.com/courses/window-cleaning-tools-and-techniques
Loving your content my friend! Very professional and interesting. Does a water fed pole need power and a hose? Or can it work manually from a large water container?
Thanks. Yes the WFP is usually run from some sort of electric pump system. There’s loads more about different types of setups in my training course: www.aemackintosh-onlinetraining.com/courses/window-cleaning-tools-and-techniques
For the last step I cut one of the push fit in half and then slid that on and it gripped and added the little red stay, this allowed me to remove easier rather than having to use o ring that would need cutting off if you want remove hose. Seems to be holding out so far time will tell.
Okay so. I've all ways run with ionic. Don't know why just all ways have. Never tried any other pole apart from back in the day I used the green unger poles you remember them...? 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. I like the shorter calaps length poles.
I think you would enjoy using an SLX, and there are so many useful accessories for it too. I will have to do a big pole comparison video at some point.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh yes that would be great. Look forward to seeing that video. Don't leave it to long though as I need a new pole . Give me a shout out k 👍
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 mate thanks for your video I have in plan to start the same business and your videos helps me a lot. I founded this stick like yours and is 240 gbp but they ask me to select : quick -loq gosseneck Quick loq brush Brush jet’s Pole hose Pole hosse connector type Can you let me know what i have to select there to be like yours ? And can you give me a list with all the materials which I need to start this work. Thanks
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.
@aemackintosh was wanting to do mine ! I'm a gardener and do patios for customers , I apply biocide just with a knapsack but never used a pole so am interested to learn a bit more 😁
@@aemackintosh it would be great if you could do a video and share your findings as I have Slx and in future I will be looking at buying another so I would find that interesting 🙂
I fitted the hose on univalve and forgot to put the O-clips on -_- Couldn't pull the hose off the univalve but it's on there well tight. So just using it as is and having no issues so far
Happy days you may need to trim some bristles that's what I had to do. I am starting to get are addicted to your channel are you getting paid of you tube. 😂😂😂 I connect my uni valve to the bottom of gooseneck hose. With push fit peac off. The connect pole hose. Sam sort of think really. I like them things you put on jet capsules. We're you get them from Gardiner 👍
@@aemackintosh OK. do you think they may stop the jet holes from coming out. I find jet hose pull back and the top of the jets comes out leaking. Do they sell them on gardiner do they ill have a look. Let us know what you think of 100 fan jets 👍
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 👍
Nice. I did change the gooseneck for a swivel version straight after this, but I wanted to show the basic setup.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Nice. Have you tried the hoseless setup Squeaky Clean Dave did on his channel? I have copied it with my poles and I LOVE it
Yeah, I’ve seen it. But Ionics have a hoseless setup on their poles and I find it a bit annoying really. Sorry.😬
@@aemackintosh Love the ability to put on extra sections without having to take everything apart. And the long hose tailing behind the pole when it's not in use doesn't really do it for me... 😉
It’s great to be able to set things up for your own personal preference. We all have our own little ways of doing things.😃👍🏼
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 👍
That’s a good idea.😃👍🏼
Oh that means you now have to do another video 😂😂
Oo😮oooo
Keep up the good work Ash. Your channel is always helpful to me. Your great at explaining things. Well done.
Great! Thanks! I’m glad you find it useful.😃👍🏼
Great video Ashley I've done one of my poles at the brush end with a cable tie works a treat and the other pole has the same metal clip and I'm going to double up with a cable tie. Thanks for doing the video Ashley and have a great week 👍🏻
Nice. Thanks for your comments.😃👍🏼
Thanks for the video bud, little tip though with fresh hose is a cup of boiling water to soften the ends that univalve will slip straight in 👍
Great tip.👍🏼
A good set-up and simplifies the fitings. I like it. It does prevent a pole extension from being added easily though. Great video again. :-)
Thanks. You would just have to thread the end of the hose all the way through the extension section to get it on, (without the protector ball).😃👍🏼
Hi Ash
another helpful video.
Could you please tell when we can expect video how Paul set up his new van???
Yes, he has had a couple of little issues/things to sort out. Wanted to get it all done before we made the video. Coming soon!😃👍🏼
Good vid. It's convinced me to try these valves.
Awesome! I’m glad you found it useful. Once you start using a univalve you won’t go back.😃👍🏼
100% recommended mate, the amount of time you'll save with it is unreal seriously, I couldn't live without it
Thanks so much for this! I bought a cheaper telescopic pole that nearly broke when I was assembling it! I’ll definitely get one of these instead. All the connections look way more secure and sturdy. Great video.
Thanks. Glad you found it useful.👍🏼
Great stuff that you show

Hi Ashley. Just wondering can you change goosenecks on the Gardiner poles with the o clip on the top the way you have it?
No. But you could unscrew the angle adjustment and swap it at that point. I want to do a video about goosenecks and talk about different options.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley whats your pole hose you are using at the minute
Having a lot of trouble with coiling at the minute with cold weather
I’ve got a supplier for my own pole hose!😜👍🏼
@@aemackintosh are you allowed to say who it is ?
Me.
mackintoshcleaningtools.sumupstore.com
I haven’t actually got it in the store yet, but I’ve been testing it recently and it’s great.👍🏼
Been asked to do a few conservatory roofs but have had to turn it down, do you use WFP for this? Thanks!
Yes. There are videos of how to do this on my channel. Check the water fed pole playlist. 😃👍🏼
Hi,I'm just starting out can you recommend a hose and reel,thanks Luke
Streamline do an excellent metal mobile hose reel that will last you a lifetime.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintoshthanks for your reply,can u recommend what hose for the reel
Ash - for high level work what would you honestly recommend:
Ova8 45/60 OR super max 50? We want less sway and solid rigidity.
To be honest, even the hi mod Ova8 has quite a bit of flex to it. Go for the Super Max.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Ok, thank you very much sir.
For the last step I cut one of the push fit in half and then slid that on and it gripped and added the little red stay, this allowed me to remove easier rather than having to use o ring that would need cutting off if you want remove hose. Seems to be holding out so far time will tell.

No promises. I don’t think it will be very soon, I’ve got so many other things coming up.😬👍🏼
@@aemackintosh 👌👍
What turbo nozzle do you prefer? 030-50? Which one precisely?
Very informative Ash, getting a SLX when they come back in stock and also want to fit a uni valve. Did the length of hose come with the pole??
Yes, it should come with the right length of hose.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh if I have a uni valve on a trolley system and stop the water flow, will it damage the pump if it’s trying to pump water?
Yeah I wondered if a univalve knackered pumps on a backpack
@@craigbrassington8766 I’ve since got a trolley and it works fine with a uni valve 👍🏼
@@andyd2033 No! Does your tap hurt your pipework in your house when you turn them off?
Have you tried to fit the tubeless WFP you might like it if you haven’t already 👍👍
No. I like having the flexibility of having the hose fitted this way.😃👍🏼
Currently got the phantom 30 which arrived today, having trouble setting it up, I’m pretty sure I need to to take the top of it off of something?!
Where do I get the uni valve? The little device that you tug on?
Thank you
You should be able to get it from any good window cleaning supplier. 👍🏼
Hi ash, what would you say the best pole out of the ova-8 phantom or slx I know you have had a good go on them all, thanks
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.

Great video thanks,have you tried the gardiners Lance sprayer yet mate? And if so how about a similar style video for setting it up? Thanks
Hi mate thanks for your video I have in plan to start the same business and your videos helps me a lot. I founded this stick like yours and is 240 gbp but they ask me to select : quick -loq gosseneck
Quick loq brush

Can you let me know what i have to select there to be like yours ? And can you give me a list with all the materials which I need to start this work. Thanks

Ah yes, I don’t trust having that connection there with the univalve, that’s why I prefer to set it up without that.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh is there a particular gooseneck I have to get them?
No, they all have the same hole through the middle.👍🏼
Is this the same set up for the pole used for biocide application to roofs ?
Not quite.
@aemackintosh was wanting to do mine ! I'm a gardener and do patios for customers , I apply biocide just with a knapsack but never used a pole so am interested to learn a bit more 😁
You should try tubeless kit from exceed. So much tidier 😀
I should give it a try. Thanks.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley just a quick question any reason for the change from ova 8 to slx?
My 22ft Ova8 is totally worn out! I wanted to try the Gardiner so I can compare.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh it would be great if you could do a video and share your findings as I have Slx and in future I will be looking at buying another so I would find that interesting 🙂
I find that the clamp on the angle adapter seems a bit weak, any suggestions
Open the lever, give it a turn to the right, and close it again.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh will do mate.treated myself to the slx 39 today, serious bit of kit, and big difference to my unger fiberglass pole.
Very good
Thanks👍🏼
What does the UnI Valve do and what are the benefits from it ?
You can turn the water flo on and off just by tugging on the hose.👍🏼
What size line are you using? 3/8?
I have 5mm hose up the pole and I use a 6mm hose reel from the van.😃👍🏼
Where’s the best place to get theses from mate
gardinerpolesystems.co.uk
@@aemackintosh Great 👍 Thankyou for replying DDPROPERTYCARE
Brilliant! Now do a phantom pole and an ova 8 as well! 😂🤝
😆🥵 It should be pretty much the same really.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh yer I know, minor differences I’m just pulling ya leg 😆👊
😉👍🏼
Thanks
I fitted the hose on univalve and forgot to put the O-clips on -_- Couldn't pull the hose off the univalve but it's on there well tight. So just using it as is and having no issues so far
The hose might gradually work its way loose, and when it does eventually pop off you can then put the o clips on.😉👍🏼
@@aemackintosh my thoughts exactly 😉 how are you finding the Gardiner's pole so far?
Happy days you may need to trim some bristles that's what I had to do. I am starting to get are addicted to your channel are you getting paid of you tube. 😂😂😂 I connect my uni valve to the bottom of gooseneck hose. With push fit peac off. The connect pole hose.

I think we gave all been there.😆👍🏼
HOW IN GODS NAME DO YOU CLEAN TOP WINDOWS WITH A LARGE CONSERVATORY UNDERNEATH . THE POLE IS ALMOST VERTICLE ??
