Daz, I'm suffering from tennis elbow at the moment (sounds stupid but really giving me some jip). Is the extreme really that good? I've got the slx 22 with an aquadapta. How do you find the closed length of extreme 25? Is it ok? I'm finding the 22 a tad too long for close up conservatory cleans at the moment. Any help would be grateful. Cheers Pete

i think it would be good first to remove the aqua dapter,what do you think? what is the point to add weight on your pole?
second stop the tennis

pete the extreme is so much lighter and more rigid than the slx.the 25 is fine for most of my work but ive not got many tight space connys.

an extreme 18 would be the lightest pole.maybe you could get one with just one extension taking you up to 22 ft when needed?that way you ll have a very short closed length pole thats unbelievably light.

by the way i use an AD mk3 XL on the 25 extreme.its hardly noticable in weight terms and allows me to work very efficiently and fast.much better than a pole tap/pinching hose etc,etc IMO.

We do not recommend the use of an Aquadapter or similar devices on Xtreme Poles - select our pole flow valve option if required

i havent got an AD on my extreme 47 but it doesnt get used as often as the 25.

the new aqua-daptor XL is absolutely awesome on an extreme 25.i now have a perfect day to day pole that(ill say it again!)allows me to work more efficiently with very quick water control.

i have a pole hose tap on the 47 but no way will i have one on my day to day pole!!it just slows me down!

couldnt  agree more...

The aquadapter xl is great on the extreme 25

although i think the extreeme is obviously going to be the best pole i think my heart could take breaking a slx or clx a lot more than an extreeme, i think im going to wait about 4 months and see how dazmonds poles are getting on, if they are still fine ill ger one then

[ben M]

Daz, your xtreme 25 is fragile or not? how do you do to close windows now?
Thanks

I've got an slx 22 and tbh I've stopped shutting windows.
If its a top opener that opens out then I can get to it with a gooseneck.
I used to with the Harris but I'm not risking this pole.

Pricy day for me today.
SLX18
SLX30
Extreme 47
Various odds and sods to go with them.
Daz-these poles best be as good as you say they are.
I'm coming for you if I prefer a Brodex Scaffold tube

The missus moves out soon, I'll be £1000 a month better off then, I might give it a go after that  

Jammy git!!

Had my extreme for well over a year...shut windows with it all the time...they ain't fragile

[dazmond]

ben id say the extremes are on par with the slx s for strength they just feel more fragile due to the lightness.im just a bit more careful with stiff open windows.if its really stiff i just clean it open or bump it!!

darren theres no way that you d prefer a brodex pole!

the extremes take a few days to get used to  then you wont want to use anything heavier IMO.

both the extreme 25 and 47 get used all the time.my slx 22 will only get used in an emergency as it feels like a brodex pole after getting used to the extremes.weird i know as i used to think you couldnt get better/lighter than an slx!

They arrived today.
A bit skeptical atm especially the extreme brush.
Won't pass judgement yet though.
Ionics poles will be ebayed imminently i'm sure.
Ergolite 72' and Swift 45'
Extreme more comfortable than the 72' not sure the 47' is much better than the swift though. More flex in it than I thought there would be.
I'll give it a week or so first though
