.... and bought a L5!! Every winter I thoink I should have bought one and fitted it in the summer, I thought it would be a big modification to my system but its so easy.

Finishing early tomorrow so will it. can't wait.

One thing though... I noticed it has an auto shut off every 18 minutes of use (think it said 18 but there abouts). I use an Aquadapter so that shuts the flow off regularly  so will this override the auto shut off on the L5?

[colin purewater]

Yep!

One thing tho make sure that you buy
Some hose that is made for hot water use
As with normal hose once it gets hot, when you
Turn the flow of the hose will expand and
Won't turn the L5 of when you think it has
And is a right pain in the arse

Thanks Colin
Im just waiting for Gardiners to get the 6mm Thermohose back in stock and I will buy it. Thanks for the tip mate.

[PoleKing]

Have you just bought it, brand new?
The latest model doesn't have the shut off...

[RO-Sheen]

Yeah, I bought it brand new. Maybe it doesnt have the shut off then, I read it on one of the websites when i was reviewing it and looking at a spec so it might have been a secondhand ebay item that had the old spec . L5 in garage now but will check tomorrow.

Nope, it will neat cold water but not ice.
Perhaps a greenhouse style heater could be bought too (£20 from b&q)

cheers mate,what do you use in winter to prevent it from freezing?or does it not freeze up too bad?

[richard jagger]

Fit a pond heater  stick it through some  wall insulation for floatation into the tank.Just remember it get hot so allow for this.

[G.W.C]

[RO-Sheen]

Wardlo - Go for it. Ive been thinking about it for years and glad i did eventually. its so easy to fit.

friends has brought some of that hose, and he hates it, it wont coil up nice or anything, just keep springing about, its like a thick nylon hose,

I use the normal pole hose that came with my pole, works fine.

[smearo]

Well done ro sheen one step ahead of me, the only
Thing holding me back is "what are the advantages"
Of a L5 or heated system ? Surely if it's that cold the
Water will stil freeze on the glass

The main advantage it the hot water!

Works faster on first cleans, I have found when using it I can get more done in a day and use less water that when using cold.  We was working out last winter in -9 and had no problems, have to be a carful on certain area like door ways and public paths.

The red pole hose they do, it like that coild airline hose I used to use,


Just been working with the x-line 8mm hose this week and that's fantastic with hot water, so far, light and dosent get to soft when hot either.

The 6mm ID Thermobore is not pole hose.

Your friend may have bought our 5/8mm PU hot water pole hose which some hot water users find is better at resisting hot temperatures.

Yes it was the pole hose sorry, it is good at resisting hot water, but that's about it, he finds it just want to un coil all the time, won't stay in a nice neat coil like all other pole hoses do.

I agree - I also do not like PU pole hose. Has too much memory effect for my liking. With hot water it does become more pliable. We kept getting asked for PU pole hose so we have started selling it - it's very popular as well, so some users must like it
