Univalve doin me heed in !
« on: February 27, 2019, 08:02:12 pm »
Would not shut off today no matter how hard I pulled the hose , I have one on each pole , the bad one is on an SLX 18 and will only turn off with up to 3 sections extended .
The good one is on a Facelift 42 or thereabouts this one works fine , both poles run the same tubeless piping so it cant be that !
Whats gone wrong , gonna pull it apart in a mo to have a little look see , any ideas ?
I'm so lazy I'm getting tired of it !

The hot water has possibly stretched the inner pole hose and you’ve pulled out of place the plastic in base of the  top section of pole

Just a thought if you set it up that way, mine was playing up and it was that

Nothing dislodged loose or out of place , but wow was it grubby inside almost like the carbon dust build up you get inside an SLX if you dont maintain it !
Have cleaned it all out and lithium greased it all , seems to work better now but the test will come in the morning I suppose .
The good thing with it though is all you need is a pair of pliers to service it !
Will update tha mora  ;D

Has the univalve improved? If so what did you do, mines causing me some minor stress.

im still on my first univalve that i bought over 2 years ago now,i do have a spare when this finally gives up the ghost.....it still works fine....it does sometimes take a few tugs to turn on/off but this is because of the hot water as when i used cold the other day it worked every time as the hose was much stiffer....

one of the best inexpensive inventions for WFP IMO.......
price higher/work harder!

Did not get chance to use it today as had to be an internal trad rat for the day due to rain  ::)roll
Looking good in the morning though .
But all I did was open it up and clean it out then smear some lithium grease on the thing !

When I had mine set up with the ExCeed kit it did this numerous times. I found it really frustrating. I ended up removing the bung.
