Title: trigger
Post by: Milltown Cleaning on April 23, 2009, 11:13:12 am: no not the humourous only fools and horses character, but a trigger on your pole!

do many of you guys use them?

I have one fitted on my everyday pole and find it great, then yesterday i had to use my longer pole which dosent have a trigger and found it a nightmare!! water running everywhere, i felt under pressure to try and get finished so i could get back and switch the pump off!
whereas with the trigger its a leisurely stroll around without wasting water!

Water going everywhere, even if you use a hip valve. With this, it's off in a split second, heck you can turn flow on and off between georgian panes if you wanted too.

Every time I use the SL2 with a valve, I find it a fiddly pain.

The Numatic George trigger is in my opinion the best. No sore fingers or anything, it's perfectly ergonomically designed.

You might want to add the line :

* Spraying water everywhere, wasting water* in lines 1 and 5. :D

Post by: Oakley Windows on April 23, 2009, 03:50:16 pm: I did have a trolley with a 60M reel of microbore on it and a trigger on the pole, and Ive also had a trolley without the trigger; you definately benefit from a trigger if you use a trolley and you definately benefit if you dont use a trolley.

Post by: jodan63 on April 23, 2009, 07:42:55 pm: surely for an outlay of £25 ,it isnt that much , compared with the time and water it saves ???
Title: Re: trigger
Post by: SonOfFormby on April 23, 2009, 08:06:37 pm: I will pay £25 if I have to. It definately saves water, but how does it save time ???

Post by: jodan63 on April 24, 2009, 04:07:40 pm: well if you have a trigger on ur pole and trolley set up, u dont have to keep returning to your trolley to turn ur pump off,when you need to move your trolley , also when moving from one window to the next , there is no water coming from your pole.
