I started to use one of these recently. It is saving lots of water.

how do you find using it? with having to loop the hose back round?
do you have it fitted on you pole hose or your main feed hose?
i have one but never used it yet.

thanks

You will need to attach your pole hose to it, so you may need to cut the hose.

I found the loop is a pain, but you can make or buy a pole hose tidy. Pure freedom do one. It is much easier to use then.

If they come with the big fan jet attached, I will take any jets not wanted by the buyers.  :)

They do not come with fan jets, they ate craftex carpet cleaning wand triggers with a john guest connector, we manufacture the stainless steel adapter (which most suppliers stock) that fits to the clip which fits the pole, this works well with the craftex trigger.

i use the brodex trigger, it is great, i find that its like a handle at the bottem of the pole and make the work easyier.

Altho it a lot more cash than other, i would totally recommend giving it a try.

The pole does need to be drilled tho!

I wonder if the DIY brigade could use one of these.

It's a trigger valve used on the Numatic carpet cleaning machines. It's plenty strong enough.

You can see it on: http://www.pb-vac.co.uk/spares3.php?spareid=1384

That's the one I bought Wally. The big brass fitting at the endof the black tube is a BIG fan jet.  ;D
