Title: aqua-adapter pole hose
Post by: ants on January 24, 2012, 06:44:48 pm: Any one know where i can get the original yellow hose they use to supply with adaptor.
The one they use now and the one gardiners use is to tough to nip when you want to stop the flow.
I find nipping the hose by far the best way to stop / start flow, much quicker than taps or aquaadapter.
Thanks.

Tosh & Jeff use this to good effect

The red hose aquadapter supply works a treat for nipping the hose; and I agree, external pole hose is the quickest way to work.

To avoid confusion (or maybe add to it?) the hose Tosh is referring to is the orange on the site now - it's the same spec as the red that Tosh has, but solid orange colour.

You wouldn't be able to nip the new red hose we have now.

I use SLXs; I've used them with the hose in, with an aquadapter, and with the hose out, without an aquadapter.

It's far quicker with an external hose. You just hold it against the pole with your hand; there's nothing annoying about it, though maybe there's a knack to it?
