22FT CLX,AQUA-DAPTOR,EXTREME BRUSH
« on: May 17, 2011, 11:22:09 am »
does this combination for a run of the mill water fed pole get any better for small domestics? ;D ;D ;D

decided the aqua-daptor was making my 25ft SLX too long(closed length)and heavy at full extend so ive put a pole tap and SL DUAL TRIM FLOCKED on it.this pole will be used on large domestics,commercial and for reaching  very awkward windows above extensions/conservatories etc.

the CLX seems a great pole now with aqua-daptor fitted and extreme brush.still a good closed length.no loop of hose on the end and pretty light even fully extended.this pole will now become a regular used pole again for small domestics.

i suppose a SLX 22FT SLX would be the ideal regular pole with aqua-daptor and extreme brush fitted but the clx will suffice for now.

in hindsight maybe i should of just stuck to my original idea of buying the 22ft SLX and using my 25ft HYDRA for the larger jobs.the hydra seems like a big heavy monster of a pole now though and the strain on the arms and shoulders might not be worth it!! ;D ;D ;D

I seem to remember recommending that 22slx setup to you daz but that's by the by  ;D. I started with a 27clx with an AD, and found the closed length too long and it's shorter than a 25 slx, but I now use a 22slx with an AD and xtreme brush and I find it a great setup, the ad may add weight but the xtreme brush compensates for that, and if you rinse on the glass then the AD really doesn't make too mush difference.

I find the 22 slx does 99.9% of my work, awkward windows and 3rd story, I only get my Clx 27 out a couple of times a month.

Maybe sell your 25 slx and buy the 22, as I think the AD benefits out weigh the extra weight it adds to the pole.

It's to do with levers.  215 grams isn't heavy in your hand, but stick 215 grams on the end of a pole and hold the pole pointing away from your body at an angle; it'll feel a lot heavier; the longer the pole, the heavier it'll feel.

My set up exactly, works a treat. Surprised people arent too embarrassed to say aquadaptors too heavy lol. after luggin 3rd/4th storey ladders around for 10 years the aquadaptor weight seems like a joke to me.

Time to man up boys, ul be getting a lighter mouse for your pc next!!
