Better still, delete the thread before Tosh reads it. We'll never hear the end of it otherwise.  ;D
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

That's ironic, its the only thread he hasn't commented on  :-*

I've only just finished work and saw it you bunch of ruddy part timers.   ;D

And if you say you saw me logged on earlier, that was me waiting for my tank to refill after we'd emptied it!

Anyway, my own experience with the aquadapter is that it was heavy, tempermental, and expensive (and I bought two of 'em).  Both Wor Lass and myself prefer working with an external pole hose and without the weight at the end.  It helps decrease the amount of dirt up the pole, raising and lowering the pole is easier - you just rest the butt of the pole on the ground - rather than have to hold it, it's very simple to nip any handy part of the hose, it's lighter, it keeps the short length of the pole short, less can go wrong with this method; and it's free.

Sorry aquadapter.  :'(

no way!pole is much better without aqua-daptor!ive been using my 25ft SLX with carbon gooseneck and extreme brush for a few weeks now and its sooo much lighter,rigid.and the awkward windows are a real breeze to clean now!! :D :D :D :D

ive got used to nipping the hose.yes i waste a little bit more water but the benefits of a lighter top end outweigh it to be honest.

i might change my mind though when it gets icy as ill be trying to minimize any water being left around that could freeze.

i use the orange aqua-daptor hose which is the best pole hose on the market IMO.

price higher/work harder!

That's OK Tosh :),

You (and dazmond) have only used the heavier Mk2, and we're 2 models lighter now with the Mk3L available.

I think the person you sold them too said they worked fine with no leaks, so not sure why you had a problem with that.

We're still getting excellent feedback from our customers, so you can be happy with your method (are you still using our hose?) and we can be happy using Aqua-dapters ;)

They're not major differences (which is why they don't get another version number) but hopefully we're moving in the right direction.

I always used the aqua adaptor, loved it, never thought ie'd go back to pinching hose, or tap connect, until that is i got my extreme !!, wow so light, i thought i've paid all this money for this pole, why do i then want to add weight to it again, so aqua's been in shed since.   john.
