Title: Pole Triggers
Post by: Alun Whyte on April 12, 2010, 08:13:15 pm

Where is the best place to get a pole trigger and are they more beneficial than a simple on/off tap on a holster on a belt. Also do both devices cause the pump to cycle and wear out quicker or does a Flowmaster controller eliminate this.

I don't bother with taps just stop end hoses.

I don't think it has any effect on the pumps/switches though.

They are definitely worth using in my opinion. They will cut down on your water usage a lot. Never had a problem wearing pumps out using one, even without a flow controller.

Cheers Ian they seem alot cheaper than any ive seen so far. Is that trigger specific to WFP? and how does it attach to the pole? is it a jubilee clip arrangement.

This is a Numatic George Trigger, great trigger but not purpose made for WFP.

No Choccy. Not specific to wfp, but I fit mine to the pole with a velcro strap. Easy to get on and off to add sections or change it to another pole. You could use a jubilee clip or something similar I would think for a more permanent fixture.
