Why not turn your pole tap off?

I mean when you are using it cuts down how much you use

Hello,

If your interested in saving water try this.

Have a microbore tap system fitted to the end of your hose on hose reel and a rectus 21 microbore fitted to the hose on pole.

Then get yourself a leather holster to attach the tap system to it, then as you go round each window you can switch it off in between to save on water.

Hope this is suitable info for what was needed.

Kind regards. :)

Cable ties work too, clip the tap to your belt with cable tie.

dont bother with taps or triggers, just fold over pole hose to stop flow ,

simple, have tried taps - they add weight to hose when dragging around, and get damaged,
 on holster you get a wet leg and restricts movement,
 triggers were good used them for 18 mths , when it broke i went back to rectus fitting -no tap, and found this to be the best method , just unclip to completely stop flow
