Seriously! You should have given it a couple of days.
Using it about a year now, previously used the push fit valves until I had a bad run with them.

I use Gardiner pole hose taps....The old ones were a bit naff but the new ones are well robust .I've been using the same one for a few months now..

My employee swears by the aquadapter though.. but he's cacky handed and can't use pole taps ;D

Crap video. It doesn't show the wear the plastic clamp causes to your carbon either.
Using the Velcro straps I wouldn't swap it. The simplicity of it = durability
My only concern was that it would cause damage to the pole hose but that never happened.

Dave I am working on doing away with the pins that hold it together and replacing with tensioning screw.

Sounds like a nice improvement Peter

Use nothing but the aquatap - so very interested in peters mod ( not that we've had much of a problem so far )

In order of ease of use and water saving

Aqua tap
Aquadaptor
Tap fitted to brush stock
Tap fitted inline of pole hose
Trigger
Pinching hose
Not bothering with anything
Remote controller

Robbo would it make any difference to you personally if you could set the tension of the turn on the AquaTap with a small screw?

Peter, yes I would be very interested. At the moment I use ptfe tape to tighten and naturally it's a bit 'hit & miss'. It is a very good product and once you get the hang of it, it is very quick to use. Good luck in making it even better. I'd be happy to buy a couple when you have modified it.
