Aqua adapter and SLX
« on: April 02, 2011, 12:09:46 am »
Can an aqua adapter be fitted into an slx?  I'm not sure if I need one right now, but I'm wondering if it can be done.

I can imagine Wor Lass spraying water everywhere while she's stroking some pet cat or something.

Cheers! ;D

yes it can, get the threaded add on from aquadapter to screw on the end of your new slx.

Ordered two from Aqua dapters from WCW.  They're not cheap are they!  (That's a lazy ass rhetorical question that doesn't really need an answer.)  I hope they're robust.

yes they sent a spare spring with the aqua dapter when it came as i believe its a known fault. I asked for a couple more spares when i used that and they arrived within 48 hours free of charge. I cannot fault them and really like the product, But I put my last spring in on wednesday, so i will have to see if they will send me some more. They were supposed to be getting new AD's fitted with heavier duty springs, and the springs were supposed to be available on their website, But when i looked i could not see any.

If bumper can put one on anybody can,you dornt have a loop,you just tug your hose to turn of and tug again to turn on,no cutting pole.
easy to attach,

Hi David,

Sorry to hear about those issues.  The new springs should last longer, and are now listed on the website.  We've only heard of very few of the push-fit connectors failing.

The items you've mentioned are covered under our guarantee, so please contact us by email if you would like replacements sent out.

i put mine on my 25ft SLX this morning and cleaned my own windows and some of the neighbours for free!! ;D ;D


first impressions?ok!its great not to have a loop of hose at the base of the pole but the pole feels a bit top heavy now!with the extra weight at the bottom of the pole now at the top of the pole it bends the pole sections more and it feels almost like ive got a vikan brush on the end of my pole(i use a supalite) esp at awkward angles!

maybe a SL EXTREME BRUSH is now worth getting!ill probably get used to it after a few days.no work for me though until at least thursday due to van off the road. :(
price higher/work harder!
