Peter, while your on can't you make the elbows john guest push fits, they would be far more serviceable imo.

No matter what hose I'm using at the moment (hot water) they keep popping off

It will be happening in the future. In the meantime the thread is an 1/8th inch BSP, you could buy quick connect elbow's to suit your hose. Or I can send you a couple of little clips to hold the hose on the connectors you have?

Thanks Peter, is this the one?

Yes that would do as long as you have 8mm hose.

Thanks Peter

Dave I take it its only a problem joining the pole hose to the tap? And no problem from the tap to the brush?

Yes Peter, everything else is spot on, wouldn't be without them. I've just ordered some of those elbows, thanks for the advice.

It`s brilliant but! My Facelift Phoenix pole is great but with Aqua tap fitted this puts extra strain on the top fitting because of extra leverage caused by the fact the brush and angle head is now further away from the top screw thread.
This isn`t a problem until you put it together with a ME who is fed up, peed off and in a hurry. Downstairs window, straight angle on brush, 200 plus kilos of ME giving it rubarb. Result, one snapped top of pole and a days work lost.
My fault but worth baring in mind for those who have a phoenix.
P.S. The aqua tap is absolutely superb, at least halved my water use.

Just having a look at this aqua tap malarkey.. How does it fit to a gardiner pole with the q-loc ssytem?
