Nothing much left tbh. I see he still sells the springs, and those were what we used the most of.

Every new Aquadaptor I bought had different components so it was pointless trying to keep spares - apart from springs.

Sad, but is still prefer the AD over the Univalve despite its extra weight. I will say that the red univalve my son has on his pole is better than the one on my pole that is from the first batch.

I bought 2 of the first batch which were returned and replaced with the mk2 version as they were seizing up due to the plastic used swelling.  I still have both of them. The one is jamming up as the tube is bent slightly. Son put his pole up against the wall and the wind blew it down.

The last A/D we bought has a worn side lever. I bought a replacement but never fitted it as it was too much trouble to drill the pop rivets out and remove the lever. I did try to file the lever in place to give it a new 'face' but it was too finicky so I gave up on that idea. Its replacement was getting pre-release sales hype on the forums so I made do with it. Had I known the Univalve was going to take so long in manufacturing I would have fixed this A/D.

When son in law gave up window cleaning he gave me back his tired, abused old SLX22. It looks like a new set and smart clamps, some lacquer and a new brush will get it back in service again. I will fit that with one of the old A/D's I have lying around.

3 poles. 1 with valve and 2 with Aquadapter.
Aquadapter is much easier to activate. You can see when its on. You can part open it if required, it adds a little length to pole.
Valve is hidden and lighter. Operates better when extended with large pole
