New pole time. SLX or CLX or other ?
« on: October 19, 2011, 06:36:33 pm »
Currently have 2 poles CLX22 and CLX27.

The 22 is used for about 95% of my work but noticed that a 25SLX weighs same as a 22CLX so would do basically everything I currently clean.

Anyone switched from a CLX to a SLX and did u notice a difference ?

I switched. Slx everytime. The rigidity is amazing. But it needs looking after.

just bought a slx 22, excellent pole, went for the slx22 instead of the slx 25,because is has a shorter closed length for ground floor windows.

Looking after a slx is the same as a clx, when it starts feeling gritty wash it out, I wouldn't say they need looking after more, if anything they need less because they are harder wearing, my brother clx which is the same age as my slx is knackered, where as my slx has stacks of life lest in it.

I'd agree with that.

My slx gets abused daily & doesn't require anything other than a good wipe down or flush out every now & then. I wipe the pole hose after every job though if the ground is wet.

The CLX is good, but the SLX is even better. The difference in weight is small but noticeable, but its the rigidity that really makes the difference. Defo worth spending the extra if you have it.  ;)
