I was a little uncertain at first whether this product would work and benefit my business. I decided to give it a try and placed my order.
Arrived two days later, it is a very well made piece of kit. The hose appeared thicker than I use and seemed to have a life of its own.
Very easy to fit, took me 5 minutes. I was apprehensive of cutting my pole, but there was no need to be.
First day of use took a little getting use to, I think sometimes I was too gentle trying to pull the hose and so did not always work, however, after several goes got the hang of turning on and off easily. The hose was also much better than I expected, whilst it still coiled up when gathering up to put away, this actually made it quicker and easier putting pole back in van.
Now been using for several days and most defiantly would recommend it. It is a great bit of kit which when attached to the pole, you don’t know it is even there. It did not really add much weight if any to my pole as I had a long metal collar on my pole which I cut off and replaced with aqua-daptor.
Does it save water, does it save time? In my case most defiantly yes, not huge amounts but enough to make it worthwhile.
Advantages to me:
1. Instantly turn water on and off whenever needed: I did not realise how many times customers interrupt you while cleaning 1st floor windows, wanting to pay or ask a question, before I would either let water carry on flowing or have to stop and disconnect, now just pull hose.
2. Sometimes bird mess needs quite a bit of a scrub but not loads of water, now I can turn water off easily and scrub with brush then easily turn back on.
3. No more wet leg!!! When you disconnect your pole hose any water left in the pole hose tends to run out of end of hose, wasting water and sometimes ending up either on your leg or in your shoe! With the aqua-daptor when turned off the water remains in hose!
So impressed with aqua-daptor I have now ordered another 3 to fit on all our poles both short and long so all my team can use them.
A great product, that works like it is meant to with excellent customer back-up from Paul.
