First question - trad or wfp?
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

tried it all ways but once it clicked, loose, you can control it with a twist of the wrist, must admit it was nightmare at first though

Used swivels for years & gardiners new resi-neck ones are superb! There are too many benefits to list to be honest.

As has been said, you need to give it a little time to "click" but when it does you'll be flying!! ;)

I like my tension set so that the brush swivels free/easily on the glass but just enough "nip" so that the brush doesn't flop to one side when you lift off the glass. I also like a little lube on the swivel joint & I find the gardiner ones better with the quick release lever on the bottom instead of on top as it comes, doesn't get in the way of the hose this way.

You mentioned this before I got one and have been using it this way from day one.
Thanks for the tip Winpro.

Hi bumper,

can you fit aqua dapter to  it

You put it on the end of the Aqua-dapter: Pole > Aqua-dapter > Resi-Neck™ (Type 2) or FlipFast or Angle Crank.

The "Resi-Neck™ Screw-On Type 2" is similar to the standard (short) FlipFast, the "Resi-Neck™ Screw-On Type 2 with Swivel" is what you need if you require the swivel function.
