Post by: henryfitz on December 23, 2008, 09:36:43 pm: Evening all :)

Was hoping that someone could tell me where is best to buy a trigger for my wfp.I have looked at previous posts but the links to them for sale on ebay all seem discontinued.

Cheers :)

I have a flow control valve but i waste alot of water when changing from 1 window to the other or when walking round the back of house etc.I believe with a trigger i will save alot of water and not soak the place as much.

I know they are sold on ebay but cant seem to find them ??? :)
