I use my microbore as the pole hose, but i have to get my bigger pole out that has no aquadapter so i use the pole hose on it, and you can feel a difference in the weight, but it was on full extension, but for eveyday cleans i dont think you really notice the weight difference to much by using the microbore as the pole hose, even if you do, the benifits of not having to deal with the pole hose and the set up and pack up times being alot quicker make it worthwhile

Noticed  a small spring in with the package is that just a spare?

yes the spring is a spare.

Lee is quite right, it's a spare.  We have had a few people experience the spring breaking.  We're addressing this, and hope to make a decision on the new springs in the next few days.

In the meantime, we decided to send a spare with each Aqua-dapter.

Yes, unfortunately it's the same here too at the moment, and I've just given away another 50p  ;)

We do offer free postage on orders over £100, so good for anyone with more than one pole  :)

Also remember our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee and we're trying to build a reputation, not only for a quality product, but also hopefully for very good Customer Service.

Have also used A/D for the first time today and I'm very impressed. Just takes a bit of getting used to ie; pulling hose instead of tap, but now there is no hose loop and my hose didnt catch on anything once, which to me is a massive help  :). (Hopefully no more Basil Fawlty days!).

One little gripe tho is when extending pole, and hose (reel hose) goes up inside of pole, it sometimes catches and turns A/D on..although that is just the hose clamps catching on the base of the pole and not really the fault of the A/D.

Tomorrow I'm going to try it with more pole hose hanging out of the end. ;D

Great bit of kit Paul cheers :)

Hi guys,

Great news ;D

We're getting really good feedback with the Mk2, so I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.

Always happy to help if you have any questions.

In the meantime, we decided to send a spare with each Aqua-dapter.

We have now had new springs made which are stronger and longer lasting.  The real test will be when everyone gets their hands on them! ;) They will appear on the website in the next week or two, and will be put into new Aqua-dapters soon afterward.


There was a division of opinion over the original hose we supplied.  Although the feedback we received was 84% Good or Excellent we didn't like that some users got frustrated with it :-/

So, we've just started supplying new hose. We did our own tests, and a few customers agreed to test the hose for us too.  Their comments are already on some forums, and will also appear on our blog in the next few days: http://aquadapter.wordpress.com/tag/hose/


If anyone has any questions about the above, just let me know.

Got mine 2 weeks ago and got to say, yes its good, had no tap previously, just used to kink hose ::), but wouldnt do without it now, saves having to run back to trolley to switch off when adjusting pole height etc. Didnt like the new red hose it came with at first, seems to have a mind of its own, keeps trying to roll back up.... but have gotten used to it now...vive la aquadapter!!!
