We use the rootech ones they are very good the latest exceed ones are hideous with  the hose tails sticking out of the pole .

What are the main advantages of going tubeless? I take it you would then need to have a certain amount of pole hose on your reel so when you extend the pole it’s the pole hose going  inside the pole and not the minibore/micro bore?

We have 25 meters of pole hose attached to the hose reels and then the fitting plugs into the pole with no hose on the pole

So I’ve watched the video on how to fit the tubeless kit, seems straightforward enough but what are the spacers for? If you use a Univalve do you fit the spacers evenly on either side of the Univalve? so half of them towards the gooseneck and half of them towards the base of the pole?

The spacers are to make the pole hose more rigid and hold it in place when you are connecting.

So I would need to have a rectus 21 female on the hose reel in any case to join to the 30m or so pole hose. How does reeling in go when the rectus fitting is protected with a protecta ball or similar?

I use one of these: https://www.rootek-designs.co.uk/product/7457256/tuff-connect or a slim version https://www.rootek-designs.co.uk/product/4929338/recprotek-slim-tough-protection-minimal-size to protect the rectus 21 and it reel in no problem even through through floor rollers. The only thing to watch is when holding a cloth and reeling in the connector can catch your hand and pull it into the reel if using an electric reel.

We use these to join microbore to pole hose and they go through the rollers fine again they are rootech

why not just use a step down hose tail ?

clamped with either o tip or a jubilee  - no need to have another disconnection point

I tried them in the past and found they cut through the hose going through the floor rollers if metal and if using plastic ones they broke easily

No, not if you just use pole hose.

No, not if you just use pole hose.

I would be frightened that the pole hose would be a trip hazard as it doesn’t lie flat on the ground like micro bore

WCW do a protecta pod. The capsule type cover fir the rectus 21, £11.95 inc vat. I prefer them to the 3D printed pods, the WCW are little more robust.
