I used to have flow control on the pole when I first switched over. Lasted a day. Pole hose to tap and then hose from tap to main hose and then the hose. Waaaaay too many hoses dangling by feet. So now its simple. Pole hose via male rectus clips to female rectuse connected to tap valve which my main hose is directly connected to. Pop in a holster on my hip, easy to reach n operate.
