Hi guys, I have a General Pump 24 inch Telescoping Extension Pole. I Cant find the Plastic nuts ( if that's what they call them ) that you unscrew to extended the pole and then tighten to hold the pole in place. One of mine just broke and i don't want to have to replace the entire pole just for that little piece. Dose anyone know where i cant find this part?
 
what do you mean by didn't know any better? I use the extension pole to clean screen enclosures. You mean I should of bought a better one? And yes its brown.
 
Wouldnt you like to clean a screen enclosure with just a ball valve? I mean the really black ones with layers and layers of mold, mildew, algae, and other funk. I clean every single one with just a standard 3ft trigger gun and lance. Thats how we all clean them...welcome to pwi this place will make your jobs waaaaay easier, will make you a more efficient cleaner, and give you the knowledge to clean as safe as possible.
Screen enclosures, house wash, building wash 0-100ft high, fence wash, pretty much any vertical surfaces================DOWNSTREAM, XJET, OR CH3M PUMP.

I think every usual suspect on here has purchased a "yellow noodle". And just about everyone has it stored high away in there shop collecting dust. If your free this week come down to palm beach for a day ill be happy to show you some methods that can make you money and save your back.

Tom Hang Out awhile Most guys won't Use and Extension Pole like your using because they are To heavy.

Russ or Paul Can Sell you what everyone uses to reach higher places and Its cheaper and much lighter.

Keep the Pole there are uses for them, just not as many as we all Think when first starting. ( I Own one )
 
I don't really have a problem with it being to heavy. I am 6'9 280 not to hard for me to use the pole. But I would be willing to see how you are doing things...
 

This is a video of using high range soap and rinse nozzles. There is an 8 ft aluminum lance that he using in this video as he was getting rid of a wasp nest at the peak. But the whole house was cleaned from the ground. The ladder is in place as we removed dirt daubbers under the window ledge and had to hand scrub them to get rid of the residual stain.
 
Hi Tom,
Most all of us have bought extension poles at one time or another, but very few actually use them. There is nothing wrong with using the poles and if that's the way you prefer to do then by all means continue to do so. However, most of us are able to clean up to about 40-45 feet in the air with just our normal wand and changing the tips. In an enclosed area like a pool enclosure you may find it easier to use a "shooter tip" (that's what I call them). My shooter tip is just a 1/4 inch threaded hose barb screwed in to a 1/4" plug and works like a champ for about $4. Next time you do one take your pole and a shooter tip and give it a shot..............good luck
 
My yellow noodle has worked great for me for over 9 yrs now without breaking. It holds up the wall in my shop. Well, at least I think it is. I'm afraid to move it. Lmao...

Nothing but 0030 and 0040 meg tips for me. Cleaning pool cages is a snap. We cleaned a 4 story house last week and the customer was in shock that we didn't need a ladder.
 
Just a 3 ft lance and a 0030 tip. I may be short but my wand is powerful. ( wink wink )
 
Where can i get those tips i want to try this out for myself???....

Doug, what tip did you use there? Even my rinse high nozzle can't hit that high.

What ball valve do you all recommend for general use?
