Pole tap techniques - Rhino Tube

Here I show you how to use Rhino Tube  ("Future of Cleaning" and "Reach-iT"), to use it as a tap to save water. It does take a bit of learning but once you get the hang of it, its fine. It then becomes a reliable and very cheap way of saving water, especially if you use a back pack like me. This technique will only work properly with Rhino Tube as far as I know. It will instantly cut off the water as soon as you kink the pipe without much tension whereas with other makes of tube, it won't work right. Another advantage is that this "tap" doesn't weigh anything at all and can't break. It does mean though, that you need to have your pole hose on the outside of the pole rather than route it up inside. The upside to this is that your pole will last longer since all the grit, dirt and other debris is not drawn up inside your expensive carbon fibre pole where it will cause havoc to all the sections and clamps.

Wagtail Precision Glide - Wagtail Zero detailing tool

Wagtail Precision Glide - Wagtail's zero detailing tool. Does it work? Well it's not perfect but it's a big improvement over standard Wagtail tools that's for sure. Some change of technique may be required to get the most from this tool but if you give it time, you will get used to it.

Big Boy back pack - Good piece of kit.

This is how the Big Boy back pack performs and I can say it is very impressive. Now I have been using it for a few weeks, it is certainly a big improvement over the old one. The extra capacity makes it a much better proposition for water fed window cleaning.
