I think they're worth every penny. Dragging a tap means more hose snags & time wasted reaching for the tap,.. having the tap on your belt means an extra loop of hose to trip over & possible wet leg. The aquaadapter is a vital bit of kit for me.

Fit a tap on brush head before the Y peice...try it, works a treat.

I dont have tap on belt anymore as rectus fittings leak after a few days of hard use.
 I am guessing you use the way gardiners fit there poles and fittings, I did try that way, but I didnt like the fact there was no tap, disconect pole and out runs the water. I could have missed the point.
Aquadapter I guess for them it would work, or could just change fittings to the other way round  

im not sure what you mean by the water running out, or the way gardiners fit there fittings/

pole is a male fitting straight. I have rectus 21 on mine meaning it stops water coming out of the pole, also means no waiting for water to get to end of pole each time saving time and making more money. the other way you have to wait and the water runs out

[outdoor restore]

Sorry, you have to have a length of pole hose so it sticks out the bottom of your pole 6-8 inches, then connect microbore to that and it goes up your pole when extended.

What fittings do you use, and which way round? Does it not get snagged when going up inside the pole?

I use a male rectus(?) fitting on pole hose, and my microbore has a female rectus fitting on (sorry if thats obvious). It does sometimes catch the cap on the end of the pole on the way in, but mine has got a big hole in (came like that) and you get used to looking out for it. It does not catch inside the pole at all.

Is a plumbing one, with about half an inch copper pipe coming off it and a few dubilee clips. Prob not the best but its robust.

i dont really have a problem with that because i only have 5 foot of pole hose, the microbore then goes up the pole so there is no time waiting for the hose to fill back up.

Thanks for that.

[dazmond]

all sounds good!im sure id be a bit quicker without the bloody annoying loop!


so its ok to just have pole hose of say 8in sticking out of the pole when fully collapsed?then the connector and other hose goes up inside the pole?this sounds great!a lot less hassle with hoses!!


has anyone got any pics of the aquadaptor and the short pole hose?


i bet its easier to put the poles in the van without all the extra hose as well!sounds like i need to wise up!!

damn it, why did I buy minibore instead of micro ? gonna have to wait a while longer before trying this idea of replacing all that untidy pole hose , brilliant idea 
those who use this method with an aquadapter, does it work ok ? do the fittings stay water tight with the pulling on and off all the time, no snagging in the pole or coming disconnected ?

i brought the mk1 a/d, and didnt get on with it, after several months of using  it kept getting stuck.
 but i informed a/d about the problem and i returned it to them and their customer service was very good.
 i purchased the new mk2 a/d with the new thread adapter and it has been alot better imo.
 overall i think its a good product and makes my working day easier, still a litttle dear though

i think you can still use your minibore, i cant say that is doesnt come disconnected in the pole but it would only happen about once a week if that, i have found that the rectus 21 fitting has been great, it doesnt leak, and pulling on it has no effect on the performace of it either.

Simple and cheap

mine has never came undone in the pole, It also works brilliantly with aqua-dapter and never leaked. I cant see why mini bore would not work, Is that the 6mm stuff? mine is the 8mm stuff which I though was microbore. minibore would be even better, less weight in pole when full of water.
