rich,
sorry to hijack your thread, but i notice that you have the same poles as us. do you get a problem where the two sections are joined. we seem to have a problem with the brush turning round when you are washing from the side, as opposed to up and down, the pole turns as if the joint isnt tight enough, but when you tighten it you struggle to extend the pole because its too tight, its as if the tope section of the pole is wearing down, we've only hasd ours for mabout 4 months.
did you buy them from gardiner.
sorry again for hijacking
Bill
