So, if by any chance, your cleaning a run of houses on the same street, are you suggesting that after each house you wrap up the hose before moving on 🤔

What a fantastic idea Herman, spend thousands on the worlds lightest poles then strap a load of water filled hose to it 🙄

LOL When pole extended there  not that much tubing.
But if you like tugging your tubing and dragging hose connections on the ground getting hooked up on things that's OK. ;D

I've recently developed a system that only uses about 15 litres of water per day, costs a minimal amount to run, and doesn't require expensive filtering equipment.

Step forward and take a bow - the t-bar applicator and bucket.

Available in a variety of colours it is durable, doesn't require a van with a high payload, and is readily available in most janitorial supply shops.  No taps or hoses needed.  Simply take your 3.5m double section ladder, extend it upwards, and start climbing.
I have many satisfied customers, such as Fred here:

TESTIMONIAL
Fred: "Until I bought Walter's ladder and bucket system I was lacking fitness, overweight, and shelling out loads of money on new tools and consumables.  Now, for under £200 per year and using less than 15 litres of water a day, I can climb, keep fit, and get paid for it too.  I would recommend Walter's system to anyone.  It really has changed my life.  I even receive NHS cover for broken legs when I fall off."

Pros & Cons
Shut off valve on the pole like in video.

You can use with what you already have, with tubing running on the outside pole.

Not have to get special tubing to be able to turn off or on when tugging it.

No special clips to hold it onto tubing.

Not wearing a connection or hooking on to things as you go.

If you have tubing start to come loose or work out of push fitting you can just push back in as you see right away.

And if you happen to break it just replace it, 5 minute job few pound on Ebay.

But if you happy with what you have that’s OK everyone prefers a certain way of turning water ON/OFF.

I don't think that was the world's lightest pole it was strapped to!
But to be fair it works and there's nowt wrong with it, it's just for noobs. (using the kids patter) Dawber is probably still kinking the hose... Unless someone has sent him a tester for YouTube.

I used to use a Cleantech trigger valve attached to the base of my poles. For me it seemed so fast because water control was at my fingertips the whole time I was working. However, when I tried out a Univalve it transformed my day. I found myself getting through more work. It’s lasted over two years and has payed for itself time and time again and it got rid of that ever so annoying pile of excess hose at my feet. For me, much better than a tap/valve strapped to my pole any day.

Exactly...I've had 2 univalves for over 2 years and both still work as good as the day I bought them...

NO HASSLE
NO DRIPS
great.....
price higher/work harder!

Heres one to blow your mind Hman, as i assume you work on a wfp trolley and not a van mount.
This is a modification that i tried out for a while on my trolley n pole which was even easier.

Well this one is the best one in my opinion. :D
Should check it out video  if you have not looked at it yet.  ;)
Be some thing you could use all day no need to tug your tube. ;D
