ordering my new backpack tomorrow and pole i was thinking off ordering a trigger to control the flow off water how hard are they to fit will it cause any damage to the backpack pump
-
which backpack have you ordered?
-
the wcw one
-
no probs at all m8 ;D great little set up ;)
-
its got a little valve on it anyway so you can turn it on and off
-
i was think off using it as a trolley system so im not carrying it all the time is it worth me ordering the trigger ? or just use the valve
-
trigger 4 me m8 all day long ;)
-
to be honest mate it isnt that bad to carry, i used to just pinch the hose to stop the water when i used mine, i now have a full van set up with triggers on my poles and ive got to admit they are great
-
just dont want to waste water and think this would be great way to save on water what are they like to fit easy or hard
-
I would be interested in this as i use far too much water after reading other posts.where is the best place to get them and are there different/better types?

-
I believe that Ian W has used a Numatic trigger on at least one of his poles.
Is that right, Ian?
Maybe you could let us have pictures and the benefit of your learnings?

extend your pole to full length, make a little loop with your hose, then cut it, fit the trigger to the pole and then feed the hose into the top of the trigger, then connect you feed hose to the other end of the trigger, nice and easy, i cable tied the feed hose to the trigger as i found it worked better then

and here is wcw one http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/shop/water-fed-pole-spares/trigger.html?keyword=trigger
-
I use triggers on all my poles, I think Sureclean (Ireland) are doing a special on them, the ones I bought were bout £25 each but I wouldn't use a pole without one now, saves soo much time and you wouldn't believe the water you save, in reference to fitting them they are incredibly easy, but whichever supplier you choose to get it from will explain how to fit it. the only thing I would say is that when your pole is closed you will have a loop of pole hose which some might find annoying but now I have got used to it it's not a problem. I might not have explained everything appropriately so let me know if you won't to know more.

thats the way I should have explained it, that's a good idea regards table the feed hose to the pole as I find that it sometimes slips out of line with the trigger and can be annoying, so must try this tomorrow, thanks for that!!

thank u ;) HITMAN is dead :'( long live P.D.R ;)
still gotta know how u do that :P watched the same thread as u did m8 ;D thanks Wally ;)
-
dont do it , triggers have to be pulled for the water to come out (unless they have designed one that works the other way round , i had triggers and had a real bad problem with my fingers having to keep the trigger squeezed for hours on end .... i felt like i was getting arthritus at 34!!
-
m8..... not nice :(
never had that prob myself, but my trigger is on the top of my pole, so i turn it on n off
wiv the palm of my hand :) simples ;D
-

Yes, Wally. I use the Numatic trigger and it works well. Easily fitted on my pole using a velcro strap. This makes it easy to move up and down the pole and, using an Unger Teleplus, easy to move onto the extra sections if needed.
You can also save a massive amount of water by giving the window a quick spray of water, then scrub, then turn water back on to rinse.
I clean a massive house right by the sea and always covered in salt spray. It used to take about 200 litres of water without the trigger. With the trigger, it takes about 75 - 100 litres.
The trigger also comes with a big fan jet. I have this mounted on a brush as an overhead jet. Different technique to the usual jets, but works well. :)
-
it all depends on different peoples preference, i just found the trigger to work for me and after about a day or 2 using it it will just come as second nature to you.
this is the one i use so mite be different from others :
