wfp valve or trigger
« on: November 29, 2010, 10:59:54 pm »
Could you please tell me a good valve  or trigger to use i brought a cheap push fit valve on e-bay a while ago it does the job but you don`t` have much control from it . I have looked on youtube and i have seen  aqua daptor which  looks  good anybody tried it . I am asking  as my pipes froze today i  took my valve off put pipe in some warm water to defost when they were flowing nicely could not  find my valve lol  :'( :'( :'(

I see good reviews of aquadaptor not used one myself as i use modular pole.control valve from gardiners site is alright for the money and you can control the flow quite well and less than a tenner.

I have the aqua dapter, really like it, There is no real control of the water flow though, Only off and on.

very much like mine but do you find when the poles fully extended  it is fine as you are near your valve but when it is at it`s smallest it often catches on most things  and you are quiet away from it

what i liked about it was the on off is right next to you  so saves time and water  i am really thinking of getting one where did you get yours but i also like the idea of a trigger but dont know if they are any good

triggers are ok as long as you don't mind the loop of hose & hose twist!

Mark, i have been using aquadapter mk2 for a week after having a pole switch that was ok. To be honest the aquadapter is much better . I just hope it lasts as long as the switch for the price i paid .Regards Des.

True, I've added a pole hose tidy (purefreedom) That way it's a lot lot better.

Did you know you can control the water flow on the aqua-dapter for downstairs windows-when theres lots of windows(conservatories etc) just by turning the tap by hand to the desired flow.

But in my imo your best having a set rate, if its to slow your cleaning the window longer, or higher & clean the window quicker, get the flow rate right & consumption will be practically the same, you only need to save water when your not cleaning with it, or when there's a stubborn stain(bird muck, snail trails) turn tap off, scrub mark, turn tap back on.
