In this video I go through the different water fed poles I've used over the last 14 years, why I stopped using them and why I now use the Ova8 pole from Streamline.
To get a discount on an Ova8 pole call Streamline on +44 (0)1626 830 830. Ask to speak to Ziggy (it has to be Ziggy) and tell him Squeaky clean Dave sent you.

Ivd been window cleaning 40 years 25 with pole system I’ve come to the same conclusion as you I only use SLX and over 8 40ft I do prefer my SLX with the 4 fan jet brush! … I need a new daily pole I’m thinking SLX I just checked when i bought my last 35ft It was 2019 so it’s more than paid for itself. I did replace end 2 sections 18 months ago . I don’t normally look at window cleaning reviews as I feel I forget more about it than most window cleaners know 🤣 but I totally respect your opinion and can tell you know what you’re talking about. Enjoyed the video 👍👏👏👏

Best you tuber for wfp information. Thanks for spending all your money on poles to provide all the info to save us money. Just ordered an ova8 looking forward to it. Always had gardiner poles but fed up of the spin.

@squeakycleandave1 2 года назад

It’s never spun once since I’ve had it 😉👍

@neilbovey4945 2 года назад

Used an Gardiner 18clx and a 35slx for years. But recently bought a Phantom 25 & 40 hi mod. The clamps are a game changer. And they’re so light. Bloody pricey though!! Use a Gardiner 35cms extreme dupont brush with fan jets a swivel head and the pole uses a univalve and tubeless kit. Taken a few years and a lot of trial and error but finally think I’m there!!

@squeakycleandave1 2 года назад

It’s fantastic when you find a setup that suits you 👍

My SLX broke last week. Can't afford a new one at the moment so I'm using my CLX, but once I'm able I'll be ordering the standard carbon Ova 8 I think. I too suffer with tennis elbow and achy hands and I also put it down to using a swivel. You definitely grip harder and over compensate by holding the pole at awkward angles, rather than just trying moving yourself a little bit and cleaning as normal.

@McRaesWindowCleaning 2 года назад

Very informative, Dave. I do love my Gardiner but it's pretty hard to get an OVA-8 here in Australia. The distributors never have any in stock. And the cost of getting it sent from the UK or USA is quite high.🤷‍♂️

@annebowers7910 2 года назад

Good video Dave,we supply poles in South Africa from the Chinese company that supplies Streamline. We are still selling the round poles in Hybrid, 30T carbon and 30/40 carbon with V3 clamps. The oval we have been offered but unfortunately there quite a bit more expensive especially when buying in Rands. We have a shipment due in October and going to get then to include one to try. Regards Colin

@squeakycleandave1 2 года назад

Hi Colin. Thanks Fowler you comment. Someone else’s commented that they can’t get them in Australia either. Hope you manage to sort it out 👍

@damiankolodziej3646 2 года назад

Dave any chance you could make a video about injuries window cleaners have from window cleaning (back, shoulder, hip). I hope others would give some tips how to avoid them and what helps them to stay fit.

@squeakycleandave1 2 года назад

I have thought of that Damian. Trying to team up with a buddy who does sports massages but he doesn’t seem to want to go for it. 👍

@danivinson 2 года назад

Thanks Dave, spurred me on to keep saving for a ova8! I've got an ancient slx35 in the van, still use it on the taller stuff. I've also got a ionics hydra 24, really light pole, it does take a gardiner gooseneck and I've got xline brushes on it! Xline 35cm dupont with rinse bar, heavier than gardiners but a much better brush! Just got a xline 26cm flocked with brass fan jets, awesome rinse! Keep up the good work buddy! 💪🏻

@squeakycleandave1 2 года назад

Hi Dan I’ve never really tried the xline gear but have heard good things about them especially the brushes. Might have to give them a go sometime 👍

They look very good and I had a good feel of one at the show but think I would struggle to go back to round poles

@neilpalmer9691 2 года назад

Great vid Dave I’m moving over to Wfp in about 4 weeks, systems ordered. I brought the slx 25 around a year ago for fsg cleans & ive actually noticed my hands aching at times. Just hoping it’s because I’m not used to using the pole for long periods. It’s my first pole so I know nothing about them but i do like it?

I'm just starting out after being laid off and I'm using my redundancy, I've already got arthritis but it's not debilitating or anything but it's something I need to take into account. I'm thinking rather than buy twice, just buy the ova8 if it actually does make that much of a difference. Thoughts please mate? Much appreciated, video is very informative 👌

Hi dave great video again. Quick question I'm thinking of about slx 22 can the section come apart to turn it in to 18ft

@squeakycleandave1 Год назад

As far as I know it can do but it’s not insulated against electric if you touch a live cable so it’s recommended that you don’t

Hi, Dave if you were starting a window cleaning business today, what startup equipment would you buy?

@squeakycleandave1 2 года назад

Thats a hard one as there are so many variables to consider such as your budget, If you are going to have a van or work from your car, the area you are working in etc. I think thats a subject for a whole video there.

@mazman8343 Год назад

Hi David question I'm thinking of getting a new pole a 22ft that can be a 18ft by removing a section slx you can do this with can you add or remove sections to the ova 8 . I'm still using the old fibreglass poles so heavy

@squeakycleandave1 Год назад

Whichever pole you get as long as it’s full carbon you will see a massive difference and you will wish you had done it sooner. You can remove the bottom section but it’s recommended that you don’t. Only the bottom section is insulated in case you touch a power cable and and canon fibre is highly conducive whereas fibreglass doesn’t conduct electric at all

Hi James Unfortunately no they haven't. I keep asking but still nothing.

@cmkservices 2 года назад

Why don't you do a DIY tubeless

@squeakycleandave1 2 года назад

@@cmkservices the problem is that a uni valve is wider then the 1st section so they have made the 1st section is much shorter then the rest so that the uni valve can sit below it. Someone did come up with a 3D printed one but it just didn’t work well and you had to sand the sides off the univalve to get it to fit in the pole.

@westwoodcleaningservices3741 2 года назад

I’ve said it before, not being able to change to tubeless stops it from being best pole out there. As much as I want an ova8 pole I can’t go back to messy hose everywhere in van.
