So why should you buy a Gardiner waterpole? Gardiner Pole Systems was founded in 2005 by window cleaners who wanted to make Pure Water cleaning more accessible and offer the best quality, best performing products at great prices. They’re a family run business with a worldwide reputation of excellent customer service and quality products. They’re the #1 waterpole brand in the UK, and they’re our #1 selling waterpole here in the US. We’re confident in their longstanding brand, so much so we back it up with our Love it or Return it satisfaction guarantee. If you purchase a Gardiner waterpole or accessory and you don’t absolutely love it, contact us to return it for a full product refund. Many of Gardiner’s products are innovative and unique in the Pure Water industry—like their square lock system and their quick-changing capsule-style brush jets. What’s The Gardiner Square Lock System? All of Gardiner’s waterpoles use the Gardiner square lock system. The square lock gooseneck snaps into the square lock brush socket and is held together with a metal button to keep it from coming loose. The Gardiner square lock system gives you a firm attachment that won’t come loose like Euro thread fittings. So your brush will always stay in place and won’t spin around. What’s The Gardiner Brush Capsule System? Most brush jets are pressed into the brush block and difficult, if not impossible, to change once they’re installed. Gardiner has found a solution to this problem with their quick-changing capsule-style brush jets. These capsules twist in and out with ease, or you can use the capsule widget to make it even quicker and easier. Your Gardiner brush will come with two black 2mm pencil jets already installed. But don’t let that limit you. Try the smaller 1.4mm pencil jets (blue) or the larger 3mm pencil jets (green). There are also fan jets available in either 50 degree (red) or 100 degree (grey). With brush jets that are so easy to change, you can try them all! Why Is This Waterpole So Much More Expensive Than An Aluminum Pole?? Aluminum extension poles are great for short lengths, but they’re heavy and they’re only available up to about 30 feet. Now, compare that to a pole that’s more advanced, with carbonfiber technology. You won’t believe how much lighter and more rigid the Gardiner SLX Carbonfiber waterpole is compared to an aluminum extension pole. Just compare the 6-section SLX 30 foot that weighs less than 4 pounds to a 30 foot, 5-section aluminum pole coming in at 8 pounds! That’s more than twice as much! That’s a difference you’ll feel after working all day. The Gardiner SLX Carbonfiber waterpoles will also flex less, giving you more control and less fatigue from all of the extra movement. That’s why our Gardiner waterpoles are so popular for Pure Water cleaning AND traditional cleaning! Which Style Of Gardiner Waterpole Should I Choose? There are several different styles of Gardiner waterpoles, the SLX is just one of them. Which waterpole you choose will depend on your cleaning needs. The most important considerations are HEIGHT and BUDGET. The Gardiner SLX Carbonfiber waterpoles are available up to 47 feet. That’s 52 feet of working height. This will allow you to clean up to 5 stories, which will cover all residential houses and many commercial buildings, like apartments or office buildings. If you’re looking to clean higher than about 50 feet, you should consider a HiMod waterpole, like the Gardiner Xtreme or Ultimate. These waterpoles are made of High Modulus Carbonfiber for ultimate rigidity and the lightest weight poles around. The lighter and more rigid the pole, the easier it will be on you and your workers, especially after cleaning all day. The Gardiner SLX waterpoles are the mid-range of price and materials available from Gardiner, because they’re 100% carbonfiber. This makes them a great commercial pole. If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, the Gardiner CLX is a good option. What Sizes Of The Gardiner SLX Are Available? The waterpole sizes listed are the fully extended physical length. Working height can be estimated by adding another 5 feet. The SLX 18 foot is 4-section and about 2.18 pounds. The SLX 22 foot is 5-section and about 2.80 pounds. The SLX 25 foot is 5-section and about 3.13 pounds. The SLX 27 foot is 6-section and about 3.67 pounds.
