My pole hose gets tangled nearly every house.

Worse on my SLX-37 than my SLX-25 but that even gets tangled.

I currently make circles with the hose when putting it away in the van and hanging it on a hook. Thats what tangling it somehow.

Is there a better way?

When you circle it up don’t start with the end of the hose first or the connector end,circle it up from the bottom of the pole first occasionally it will only tangle into 1 loop but it won’t tangle up silly.

Thats what Im doing mate.

The best way to get round this either reel it onto the hose reel when you’ve finished “I hate doing this” or shorten the pole hose,if you shorten the pole hose you won’t have any problems.
The good thing about a long pole hose is that in a lot of cases you can pulll round the back of a house and do a large run of windows without needing excess microbore also pulled round with you,I would reduce the length of pole hose.

Another thing you can do is use a Velcro strap that helps a lot.

Use the least amount of pole hose that you can. Try changing hose

[NWH]

Tbh the shorter the pole hose the better easier to put away etc I would always use a pole hose over  internal valves etc over time they  leak regardless of what people say,you want the least amount of joins you can get away with.

If I switch to tubeless does the reel hose (microbore) then feed up the pole?

All depends how you do it , we have 30 meters of pole hose attached to the microbore hose and its reeled onto the reel as well

Do you use the same connector on both ends of the hose - female/male ez snap?

I remember this conversation several years ago - and I think spruce hit the nail on the head and I can confirm it by my own use and some of the guys - I have never had tangled pole hole but 2 guys did and basically they constantly rotated their pole in one direction when taking off the van while working and then returning to the van they would always use a clockwise action over a week the hose started to tangle every time it was used - going up to a point is was a birds nest as soon as it hit the ground - if you can try to twist the pole the opposite way when returning to the van from how you pulled it off

Some wants to be coiled up clockwise some wants to go anti-clockwise if you coil it the way it wants to go it won’t tangle.

Exactly what used to happen with the old corded telephone handsets.
Used to drive me crazy when I worked in an office.
People pick up and turn the handset then turn it again the same way when they hang up, instead of turning it back the opposite way.

Just hook it on some thing like this when the pole is a bit shorter.
At least you don't get tangled in the pole tubing when using.

Also you could try winding out all the hose.
 Run hot water through it couple minutes straighten.
Then run cold water through it.
Then reel it in should be less tangles in it when winding out.

Get the Exceed hose they use on tubeless for pole hose....it never kinks.

Lol you just don’t  listen and learn do you  we moved away from that type of set up 15 years ago Herman .

OK the problem is that the hose is tangling  as said run hot water through the hoes/tubing unwind out straight.
Check this out it some we done to straighten irrigation poly pope gardening hose.
Could do this with any other hose that are new get the coils out of it.

Yes on the reels and the hose and the joints between microbore and pole hose
