I was on phone to him and he said he doesn't do Aqua Dapter anymore. He didn't say much and I dint want to pry. He did say the new one fits inside the pole. Much lighter and other things. Sounds great. Still love my Aqua Dapter

Sounds very good to fit inside the pole and be protected and lightweight .

Must be a clever device and so small

I am guessing a 1 way valve ..just guessing. It will make it a lot lighter. If its as good as Aqua Dapter, it will be a winner. If it sinks and he stops selling Aqua Dapter. I think it will sink him

Steve's a nice guy just an awful businessman.
I hope he makes a few quid by selling out.

Best invention in Wfp is Aqua-Adaptor in my opinion  .

I've managed to track down 2 new ones , so one can be a spare .

If he designs one that can fit within a pole it will be a massive winner with all the Gardiner poles etc

Hope their will be a new aqua-adaptor

Okay, why do you use aquadaptor or aquatap ?

Save water ? Ease of use ? Just being flash ?

A one shot will not save you water like the above will because when you press the button it cuts the power to the pump but has no physical stop so at the brush end your water just slows to a dribble and the hose loses all pressure, when you restart it takes several seconds ( which feels like a lifetime ) for the pump the replace that pressure and water

My experience was its a pain to use, out of sight meant pressing the button waiting for the delay only to find still no water, backtracking to turn water on in line of sight, then you have the remote in a pocket, or hanging around your neck, it gets damp and doesn't work, you drop the thing, or put it down and can't find it.

Very flash, nice to show off and impress the girls - oooohhh look I can remote operate ( occasionally ) my water  ;D

If the remote operated a solinoid for instant shut off like a tap then it's worth some consideration

Thank you for your detailed reply..
They seem to have good write ups on another 4um and whilst I appreciate your advice/experience with one, for £49, I will give one ago.
Thanks again.

Hadnt seen these before. Must be a pain looking for remote all the time.
With Aqua Dapter, I bet I activate it on and off about 18 times per house. So quick and easy. Finding fob and pressing button sounds a pain to me

Tryed and tested for over 2 years
