I thought you were ditching the aquadapter??

How much heavier is it? I've got a slx30 as my everyday pole and a sl mono brush.

hi steve ive been using the aqua-daptor on my clx 22ft with extreme brush.great combination!as the lightness of the brush compensates for the weight of the AD.The closed length is better as well!

i put a pole tap on my 25FT SLX again and it feels awful to use now!so ive ordered another AD.

they really are great and the pole hose that comes with it is really good.most of us wont go back to anything else unless your names tosh!i dont know how pinching the hose and having the pole hose outside the pole could be easier than using an aqua-daptor!!

each to there own! ;D ;D

Tosh may have problems with multitasking being the Geordie type. Pulling his hose while watching where it all squirts may give him palpitations.

Recently, by far the best money I've spent is on Gardiner Xtreme brushes. I predicted back in January after first using one that these will be the future for WFP users, I stick by that! ;)  What a difference they make!

Will not get to use my Xtreme pole untill tomorrow (so can't really include it now)

Wagtail flippers. SUPERB innovation for trad cleaning (although the standard yellow pad is rubbish) again, super fast, super easy!

They are the more recent ones above.


Also-

SLX25
SL-57
Carbon goosnecks & quick release ends
Digital Varistream
Second DI vessel (stopped throwing good resin away 7 years ago)

  George is the best money I have spent with regards to window cleaning, if you don't know where you need to be then your fancy poles are useless.

2 vessels in sequence for one user. One pre-filters the other (resin you'd throw away is used instead to pre-filter new resin)

Indeed, those lightweight poles from Gardiners have definitely been my best buy with WFP stuff.  The WCW backpack was a good buy too.  Although it is helpful for awkward places, there have been odd days when I've used it instead of a van mount in an emergency.
