Thanks for watching
This is what I was looking for so long and finally found it ! Thanks God you are so a great and innovative OsmoCleaner. I´ll get some now and have to test them as soon as I can.
Never had a problem with old ones worked perfectly
John Tancredi I didn’t either but some did 👍
Thanks Dave. Keep up good work
Never had a problem with the old design after I lubed them up with dry ptfe spray but the new design will help even more 👍🏻
That backdrop looks incredible. It has a 3 colour pearlescent effect on camera. A very professional look. I've not tried the slick connects yet but I'm sure they'll be needed in my setup soon. Great video Dave
AW Services thanks very much Austin. I’m really pleased with the backdrop. Just got to buy a stand for it now. It will be easier then clipping it onto an old pole🤣
@@squeakycleandave1 if you carefully staple the top leading edge to some 2x2 battern you can create a blind effect and roll it up and have it on hooks. Or alternatively check out facebook market place and pick up a cheapo old protector screen and reconfigure the stand supplied with it.
AW Services it’s an 8’x6’ backdrop so I don’t think the projector screen would be big enough. You can buy the stands on eBay fo about £25 and they come with a green screen backdrop
Superb as always Dave 👍🏼
David Hancock Thanks very much for watching 👍
Nice! Sounds like all the issues I've had with the connectors have been addressed and sorted out..👍
I'll buy some of the new ones and give them a go! Cheers
Paul Garrett they are definitely easier to open when under pressure 👍
Just what I've been waiting for. I'll be buying a few of these, I like the old ones but my partner struggles to disconnect them under pressure. Also like the blue version. Would go nice with the water genie 6mm hose. Nice review as always Dave
G Fresh thanks for watching 👍
Nice one Dave!
Trad - Man Thanks Pete😎
@@squeakycleandave1 very welcome buddy!
Hi Dave, thanks again for the videos. Just purchased the tubeless kit and slick connects. Annoying though they sent me 8mm so cant use it!
Moving forward, as instructions very poor that come with it. The long hose that has the slick connect on, assume this attaches to the main hose in the van then you wind up all together? Just I assumed the hose real from van went directly to the pole where the shorter section of hose inside the pole? Ask as now means I two connections from reel than one? Thanks
ben cavanagh it’s true you do now have 2 connections but having the Slick were it is makes it much easier to untangle you Hose with the pole extended.
The good thing about not having the pole hose go up the pole is how much it keeps the weight down.
Who did you order the Slick from and did you specify which size you wanted. If you did then they should exchange it for you.
Thanks for watching 👍
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the advise. Purchased from Sam at exceed, so purchased directly. Annoying as also spoke to them on the phone to explain what needed.
Also Dave, using grippa tank plus their electric reel, but not finding it much good and want to change it , what’s your option on electric reels on make ie waterworks or cox? Just need something that works much smoother as with grippa tank you have to pull hose out from the reel then walk out out to where need to go, than just pulling the hose direct from reel. Paid almost £700!, and it’s not very good. Thanks again
ben cavanagh
Hi Ben
If I were you I would ring Sam and explain the problem although if you are using the Slick to attach the pole hose to the main hose on and electric reel it might not go through the hose guide so you would have to join it with a straight insert that you attach with hose clips so it might be worth sending back and getting your money back.
With regard to the reel the only electric reel I’ve used is the one I made myself so I can’t really advise you on that but I’ve never heard anything bad about the Water Works one
Great video, question about univalve installing on a gardiner slx 27, would you use PVC as standard hose or a pu hose
I use the hose that Exceed Innovations sell which I’m pretty sure is pu. I think Gardiner also sell Pu hose. It’s a bit tougher to work with as to start with it sometimes coils but I’ve never found it to be a problem. I found the pvc hose too stretchy and goes to soft when I use hot water. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching 😎
I tried the mk 1 connectors and I couldn't get them to seal properly under pressure. after fitting 'O' rings the protective sleeve wouldn't go over the top :/ , I quickly went back to using simple aqua stop hoselock connections throughout
Its ChocolateBoy they are a bit marmite. Some people love them some hate them 🤷♂️
Hi Dave
When I had the old ones, they use to leak and tbh I wouldn’t mind having a go on these ones now. The one problem I had though was when I use to remove the one eared o clips from these and I used to snap the plastic.
How would I remove the o clips without snapping it?
Thanks
What I do is with a pair of nips I cut the ear off then prise the clip apart with a flat head screwdriver. It’s a bit fiddly but possible
@@squeakycleandave1 cheers 👍
Hello Dave, did you use clips for this or keep it on the Pole Pipe?
Wollef der Fensterputzer one end was on the pole hose and the other on the hose reel hose
Is V2 compatible with V1 or will I need to change the male connectors on all my poles, backpacks & applicators?
Sorry but I don’t think they are compatible
Hi Dave
How are you getting on with the slick 2.
I'm having issues.
It’s going well for me.
I know a few of the very first ones the covers were coming a bit loose as they pulled along the ground but he changed the tolerance straight away and sorted it
Have been in contact with Steve at exceed. Sending thicker rubber o rings.
Bluestone Pro clean window cleaning what was the problem?
A leak on male / female fitting. Not from hose connections. Same problem on 2 of them.
Sending me thicker rubber o rings to fit. Other than that they are good.
Bluestone Pro clean window cleaning at least he’s getting it sorted for you. Mine have worked well. Thay are much easier to disconnect and connect then the olds👍
Ill be going nowhere near that pile of crap Dave! Once burnt and all that ! Still looks a bulky big device!
JD I have noticed the slick is a bit of a marmite piece of kit. It’s very love/ hate for a lot of people 👍
@@squeakycleandave1 Definitely seems that way way Dave.....
They constantly Drip
R F the new ones? I’ve used mine all day and not a drip. Contact the supplier
For some reason start of message hasn’t gone over,
The old ones always had a drip , so went back to a ball and the rec 21, will have to try new one out some time tho

Squeaky Clean Dave The old ones used to drip constantly for me aswell
What a pain ...it's not backward compatible..so you have to change the lot on all your hoses ...piss poor.
