Hi, WCM are in the middle of setting up an online store at http://www.windowcleaningmagazine.co.uk

Best thing is, we dont really want your money. But we have to pay the suppliers for the goods that we accept from them lol and we would like your small donation on top to help finance towards the Window Cleaning Magazine and WCM TV. Sometimes it can be a drag having to pay for all this myself, so I thought, why not sell window cleaners some cool stuff and get them to help support the window cleaning magazine that they love!!! Cool huh?Everyone wins. You get some cool deals, I get to keep a little more of my own money and you get some window cleaning eye candy from WCM and WCM TV..... sweet! Its a marriage made in heaven.

By shopping with us you are helping to support WCM and WCM TV and we really appreciate it. You are no longer an AWESOME READER. You are our AWESOME partner in something really special......

Ok, you can pat yourself on the back now. You have done something really good for the industry that you are passionate about and an industry that takes care of you and your family. I'm feeling the love right now!!
NOT FOR PROFIT STORE AT WCM  Smiling

Be patient with me tho Im still building up the products... if there is anything you buy a lot of and want to see if I can get a deal, let me know :)

I honestly think the Aqua Dapter will just make the Aqua Tap redundant very quickly......
A rival product has at least got to be better in some way & the Aqua Tap simply isnt....

I've used aquadaptors from the very beginning and not had the trouble with breakages like daemons and others have had, but then I rarely use the fixed goose necks

But I will say since Paul left AD the service, help and attitude to customers has rapidly gone down hill, this has lead be to buy an aqua tap to trial and if the guys get on with it I shall convert all the other poles over as I can see AD going bust very soon and spares will not be available.

Post by: J.D on May 20, 2014, 02:15:36 pm
I'm not 100% certain on that but I'm sure you can purchase the proper fitting. Just go onto Aqua Dapter website and ask via the live help box.

Johnny, you can get the Aquatap here 

http://www.windowcleaningstuff.co.uk/brushes-poles-accessories/997-aquatap.html

It is a totally different product to the A/dapter and made by someone else.  They are a great bit of kit and almost weightless, compared to the A/dapter.

I've tried both and I prefer the Aquatap.

JD - yep we all have differing experiences, just as Ben found Paul to be like I have found Steven - personally Paul always responded quickly, knew answers to queries and problems, and trialled a mk3 AD Prototype and several differing types of hose, so maybe when you enquire about products and all you get is barely a sentence in response you do feel very underwhelmed...

the AD is a great piece of kit, but reading posts on the other thread I fear for it's future, today my first aqua tap arrived, it will be trialled for a couple of weeks and if proves effective, reliable, and as easy to use as the AD I'll be fitting them too all the other poles.

The AquaTap is not there to knock anything else off the shelf, its there as a solution to a problem some people may have with any of the multiple ways of controlling water.  Just because you love a product doesn't mean you have to hate a product you don't fancy or use.  Everyone is different and its good to have choice. Choice keeps prices down and/or quality and innovation high.

Another thing to consider about water control and the reason the AquaTap came to be.  Although better than nothing other devices such as taps on brushes and remote controls don't save enough water.  The AquaTap is the only device that is just as easy to stop and start the water flow between all windows as it is to keep it pumping.  You don't have to do anything except turn the pole.  The pole is in your hand already and turning it becomes second nature so NO extra time is added whether you use it or not.  Now I have used remote controls so lets look at them. Its either in your hand all the time, fastened to your pole, or on your belt. In your hand all the time its getting wet and if its ready to press its interfering with your grip on the pole.  On your pole and you may not be holding the pole in the right place to press the button so you have to reposition the pole so you can. Also interferes if you want to add and take away sections. On your belt, you have to fiddle about to get it in your hand, and then try and find the button you press.  Now although these things take seconds it still stops the person using it to turn the water off preferring to waste the water rather than the time.  A tap on the brush saving even less water than a remote control.  There are advantages of saving water and lots of people see the advantages and want to do that, its up to them, and that is what the AquaTap is for. Some people don't mind wasting water, again that's their choice and up to them, but its worth giving it some though as to what the extra water saved could mean to them money wise at the end of the day. For some it could mean nothing at all, but for others it could add much much more than the price of the device even after the first week of use.

I was meaning in general, it may have looked like I was referring to you as I started off with the knocking something else of the shelf.  The point I was trying to make is everyone has different preferences, and different ways of working and choice has to be there to satisfy these differences. Same goes for companies selling the exact same thing like the Unger and Ettore brass squeegee, but I bet some people prefer one to the other, and imagine how much they would have cost if only one company had been selling them. Although the Brass squeegee was the same other things would come into play like the ease of buying, the rubber in the squeegee, the customer service of the people selling it, the delivery time.  Choice is good for the consumer, without it we have no choice:)
