I know a few of you guys use the Aquadapter. I like the idea of it and am undecided whether to get one. What do you reckon? Do they really save enough time/water to make it worthwhile?
Cheers.

[dazmond]

im getting sick of my pole tap!the loop has been driving me crazy this afternoon!constantly twisting and kinking!ive spent half the time faffing about with the hose today!!

im sure an aquadaptor will be so much less hassle and quicker!im gonna order one methinks.i do think their a bit pricey at £60 though!! :

How are the guys getting on that bought the mark 2?

[George P]

i bought the first one and found it works for me,

[chopsie]

I have the mark 2, I really like it, but do not see a water saving really compared to when i has tap on a belt or auto brush.
dazmond, I can get you a fiver off, Just use AnthonySmith in the coupon bit and u get a fiver off. that goes for anyone else too

[DaveG]

I quite fancy one too, not for the water saving (Ive been using a tap) but just to get rid of that bleeding loop of hose!

[chopsie]

Get rid of the pole hose and use your microbore as pole hose, Best thing i ever did (that and muck boots!)

[LWC]

Just do what i do, put a tap at brush...ok you cant turn it off when its up there, but i only want to turn it off when its collapsed and walking round corners...i think if youve got it up in air and you faffing pulling pole hose from one window to next thatd be wasting time.

Tap on top is brilliant and so handy...and costs about £3

Does microbore fit in the aquadapter then chopsie? I thought they supplied their own "special" hose.

[chopsie]

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.

[DaveG]

Ah ok cheers

[Window Washers]

still cant see the point of it.

no time saving as same as tap at end of pole.

water saving, same as tap at end of pole

Or have I missed something ?

[chopsie]

for me its ideal for how i use my pole (microbore as pole hose), also no wet leg from dripping connectors.

[Nathanael Jones]

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.

[Smudger]

Got the mark 1 - been using it for 6/7 months - would not be without it!

had to add an extra rivet as it started to wear - but all good.

defo, save water and time - and the biggest thing you notice is you dont get water all over the
walls when moving from window to window,

i also turn off for wiping the sill,  this stops that annoying flood that brings out more debris as the brush goes
past.

Ditto, it also mean you can brush excess water off,thus reducing dripping from upstairs windows. (this can be done with a tap though)

[Lee GLS]

If you use a tap or trigger you prob won't see any saving in water, BUT you won't have the annoying loop of pole hose to get snagged and knotted, or if you let the tap run on the ground you won't have the keep picking it up. As smudger said you can quickly turn it of to wipe the sills.

I also have the same setup as choppsie, not having a pole hose is much quicker.

I have had the mk 1&2, and the mk2 is a big improvement over the mk1. I know they are pricy, but so is a supalite brush, but they are both excellent products, go and get one.

[dmlservices]

i'm thinking of getting one , will save me a lot of time , i also like that you can operate manually when pole colapsed, or by pulling hose when pole extended.

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/
