Thanks for Watching
great video mate , im normally a nlite guy but i cant believe im saying this but i actually think this pole is better , cheers fella
Thanks Bud 👍
Dave as always a pleasure to watch help other's out, can't wait for the comparison of the 22' and the 22' hi mod
Hopefully it shouldn’t be to long coming 👍
Another good video Dave, couldn't agree more that the Ova8 is one of the best poles. I was getting cramp in my hand alot with the phantom etc. The Ova8 completely fixed the issue!
Amazing Dave, great video, you really do save us time and give me confidence to do it for myself being a newbie. Thanks mate
Thanks Gaz 👍
Nice video Dave! I've recently bought an ova-8 and love it! Thanks for the tutorial!
My pleasure Ben 👍
Good video again Dave. I have to agree with you that the ova8 is a superb pole. I have the same set up as in your video apart from having the smaller brush. Keep the videos coming!!
Thanks John 🤣
Well done buddy! Really well put together and simple to follow! Thank you for this, it will really help a lot of folks 😊🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks Pete. Looking forward to you going live at 8:00 pm tonight👍

Now I have the Power and they say knowledge is power I just need the money LOL
Great Video Dave layed out brilliant when I saw the cup I thought you was going to say you also nerd a cup of Tea or Coffee lol
Thanks Dave
I wish I had the money as well🤣🤣🤣
Another great how to video. Nice one Dave
Thanks Austin 👍
Nice one Dave 👍
Thanks JD 👍
Another easy tutorial 👍🏻
Thanks Gordon 👍
This is so good, I will post it on our new website which we are working on. As always Dave thank you for taking the time out of your day to help so many people in our industry. Your a true credit to your profession 👍
Thanks Richard. That’s very nice of you to say 👍
I think you will have another gardiner convert at some point with me.
@@JM-jr4pr that would be awesome 🤞
@@JM-jr4pr they are fantastic poles 👍
Great video. If you're on a budget you could probably add a brush to the end of that screwdriver and reach first floor windows :-)
I fould with hot watter the o-ring on the gooseneck slipped. it could also catch on things so i always wrap the top o-ring with electrical tape. I just found the extra friction kept it still for longer
Great tip. Thanks Sam 👍
Fantastic
Thanks Darren 👍
Great video i have just brought an ova 8 and set it up exactly like yours really works well ,i might get a longer goose neck as the bronze wool attachment fouls on the sofit at times rgds Paul and Brandon.
You don’t need to get a complete gooseneck. You can get extensions that just clip on
www.streamline.systems/product/streamline-ova8-150mm-nylon-brush-extension/
Yes thats what im going to get ill phone ziggy hes a good guy very helpfull
if you mount the goose neck the wrong way round you can then have the bronze wool 180 degrees to the brush and it wont catch the soffit
@@LancashireProClean great tip
Hi Dave had Ova8 for few months but can't take the gusenek out....was thinking is for good but after this movie I'm confuse....ha ha need more power 😀 regards
Great vid as always dave but get your thinking cap 🧢 on come up with a way to fit a tubeless kit, I sure it can be done but until then it’s Gardiner for me. Take care and stay safe. Cheers buddy 👍
Thanks Lee. A lot of people say the same. 👍
Great video Dave, the OVA8 is probably one of the best poles on the market
Thanks Julian. They are awesome poles
What is better about the Ova 8 rather than say a Gardiner SLX? Cheers
@@sumitkommando355 I’ve found it more rigid and obviously there’s zero spin
@@sumitkommando355 the 2 main things for me are
The shape. It fits in the hand better and so you don’t have to grip it so tight so you put less stress on your hands.
The shape also stops the pole from spinning when the clamps are worn.
The clamp are also better as they are fitted with an bolt not glued on so better fr maintenance
@@squeakycleandave1 Cheers m8. Appreciate you replying. I will keep these poles going for as long as possible but will look to maybe upgrade when they are unusable 🙂.
Hi Dave, great video, just ordered my ova8 22ft hi mod, i've also been looking at your tubeless videos. Can you fit a tubeless system as well as a univalve on the ova8 22ft pole? I spoke to Ziggy he gave me a great price for the pole and some other bits i ordered, so thanks for that mate, keep the vidoes coming as a newbie they are so helpful !!
Hi Kevin
At the moment you can’t fit a tubeless kit on the Ova8 but it is being worked on
@@squeakycleandave1 thanks mate
How many foot is your top section of that pole? It looks around 4' mine is 6' therefore my valve sticks out the bottom of my Pole when totally collapsed which isn't great but there's no other way around it. Please confirm your top section in Length thank you
Great video, as always 👍 Sadly I’ll never get one of these until you can convert to tubeless.
That was the one thing that was putting me off them😡
I am fairly new to window cleaning, i have a phantom and an ova8 and the ova8 is king.
What does tubeless mean?
@@gazogle the tubeless setup you don’t see any hose coming from out of your pole. It allows you to wind your pole hose up onto your reel when disconnect
It’s an absolutely awesome system but at the moment doesn’t work with the Ova8
I use 8mm pneumatic pushfit fittings at the base of the pole. Works a treat 😎
@@asaspades93 great tip 👍
Cool👍
Thanks 👍
Hi Dave have you thought about doing a diy tubeless setup for your ova 8? Would it work? I have done it on my gardiner where i have just a very short length of pole hose on the pole then have the rest of the pole hose attached to the reel with a brass reducer.
Richard I have done it for my 40ft ova8 not the best but it does the job.
It is good advice my question is can you take a anytime the univalve off the pole in case need it and to put it in another pole or you have to have a few univalves ......!!!!
Most people will have a Uni-Valve on each pole that they use. It is posible to swap the complete hose from one pole to another but it takes 5-10 minutes so it easier to have multiple Uni-valves
@@squeakycleandave1 Thanks a lot for your help you are the Champion ...!!! God Bless you
Sorry.. one more question. Do you know if you need a certain amount of pressure to use a uni valve?? I’m will only be using my pole from a hoselock garden tap. The pole has worked fine without the uni lock.. would just be great to be able to stop the flow from the pole. I know you are dealing mainly with proper window cleaner normally so might not know! Pete
Hi Peter
To be honest I really wouldn’t like to say. The difference between a tap and the pumps we use for window cleaning is when you stop the flow with a window cleaning pump it turns the pump off so there isn’t a constant pressure on the univalve. With a tap that pressure would still be on when you turn the univalve off.
It might be worth giving the lads at Exceed a ring and asking them

well done Dave, you say you mainly use your ova 8 pole now, does that mean you have done away with the hoseless system ?
At the moment unfortunately yes but I’m hoping Steve from Exceed will get it sorted soon
How can I fit uni valve in the streamline pole the 1st section is too narrow thanks
Did you watch the video. It shows how to fit it below the first section
Dave I know this is the wrong thread but I’m after advice or someone who can fit a hot water element into my tank for me?
It might be worth asking a local plumber. That way you know the work is done properly and insured. I’ve got no insurance to do it for anyone else so it’s not worth the risk of me doing it for people
Could you not find a longer screwdriver :-) Great tips, thanks. Does the swivel have any adjustment or does it work well that lose? Cheers
No you can’t adjust but I’ve never had a problem with it as it is👍
@@squeakycleandave1 absolutely right there Dave. It's a great swivel!
@@juliestonelake7606 so true👍
Hi Dave, are you not able to do tubeless set up with ova8 pole ?
Sorry but at the moment you can’t but hopefully someday it will be sorted out.
@@squeakycleandave1 Thanks for reply, great video by the way, enjoy all your info👍👍
😎👍
😁👌
Are the univalves worth getting? I have 3 Gardiner SLX poles. Cheers
100% yes. I wouldn’t want to not have one
what does the univalve do?
It works like a tap. You pull the hose and it opens the valve and lets the water flow. When you want to stop the flow you pull the hose again and it closes the valve stopping the water
Thanks for video Dave. Honestly advise I’d give , don’t buy an ova8 pole! It’s needs work on it. Stick to round poles for now. Had nothing but issues with mine and know many say the same.
Does it matter what make univalve you use?
There’s only one make of univalve. It’s just sold by different suppliers. There are different colours but this makes no difference so you are safe to by from whoever you want 👍
Wow, thanks for replying so quickly!! I’ll look for the cheapest one on eBay thanks!!
I think my next pole will be ova8. Gardiners quality has went to fk the past while.
I have been disappointed with there customer service having to email them instead of being able to ring.
I still like there brushes though
@@squeakycleandave1 operator error lol
Hi dave. Don't you use tubeless system on your poles no more.
I would do and hopefully will again but at the moment it doesn’t fit the Ova8 poles
Just did that twice last week. Ha ha
They are the best poles mine are about a year 18 months in but I love them.
@@unitedsk8sltdskatinginscot197 I have to agree with you there 👍
It's James by the way we've chatted a couple of times... this is my other companies profile...
@@unitedsk8sltdskatinginscot197 wow mate you ought to do the windows with your skates on. You could really get around your round fast that way 👍
Got rid of all my uni valves 20 plus in the bin
Why didn't you sell them?
