Steven, IMHO it isn't a good idea to lean the brush up against a brick wall and then immediately move it to the window. Any bits of brick that stick to the brush could scratch the glass.

Even if the chances of it happening are very small, I would personally remove that section from your advertising video. I do though appreciate it makes the video more presentable.

How do they differ from the Mk2, apart from being lighter?

Hi Dave,

1 The weight is due to the valve inside, the new valve also allows for smoother operation.

2 the main spring as been altered so it lasts much longer.

3 the spring on the trigger does not snap now

4 where it screws on there is no longer a clamp

5 it does not come loose

6 it is easier to line up with the brush.

Steve.

Steve.
i used to use a remote control which was great but I cant fit one to my new controller. I now use the new unger hose clamp. it is ok but the hose gets caught up a lot.

Hi Shina,

Yes, thats one of the reasons i designed aqua-dapter.

When i was window cleaning i thought theres got to be something easier than keep picking a on/off valve off the floor to turn the water off between windows, in most cases i couldnt be bothered in the end to put pole down to turn water off, so i tried taping it to my pole, but had big loop of hose keep twisting up really annoying.

So i believe that using aqua-dapter is a much more convenient way to control your water supply.

i feel the AD is without doubt the best device in its class for what it was designed for.......but it was at odds with the industries needs for lighter stronger equipment........whether it is now lighter enough to compliment the light poles out there is something that will be assessed over time,i look forward to the feed back before committing to one

Hi BobPlum, the new weight is not really noticeable, we believe the inconveniences of other water control methods out weight the little extra weight of the aqua-dapter.
