Doesn't look like they've taken over the world, hardly any word about them on any fora, think the Foghead got a bit ahead of himself again, it'll prob go the way of his brush and clampless pole etc.

Window tools forum has pictures and a quick review.

Review on Monday when its put through it paces.

I hate this time of year when the pole hose picks up grit and deposits it inside my pole. I carry a cloth in my pocket and wipe it clean quite regularily, but I would tollerate an outside pole hose if it meant not having to continually do this.

I used a Teleplus and fishing pole for a few years, so have got first hand experience of an outside hose. I prefer the internal way TBH.

Sorry to disappoint the doubters they are on sale and had some fantastic reviews on Facebook.  Some great water saving and time saving comments. Every pole should have one comments.  With one of the guys facts and figures who before now used a tap on the bottom of his pole proves for him the AquaTap pays for itself in 6 hours of use.  My question is can you afford not to have one?:)

£41.80 including taxes and delivery

Expensive water if it pays for it self in 6 hours.

It'll be more interesting when someone from this forum reviews it.

The water didn't come into the cost, it was the half an hour saved on a 3 hour job.  The water saved allows the user to work the extra 1 hour time saved over a working period of 6 hours, which in turn pays for the AquaTap. He not only done the job 1/2 an hour faster, he also saved enough water to do extra work in that half hour if he wanted.

Not my figures, but no reason to disbelieve them.

How does the ability to stop & start water make a job faster? Personally I'd leave the water running all the time if speed was my main concern?!

I never stop the water flow, as I use such a low flow rate I don't see the point.
But for those that do stop the flow,by stopping does it increase pressure so once turned on again it would throw a jet of water at the window ?

yes i find it does build the pressure up, when i turn the tap back on i get an increased burst of water for about 3-4 seconds, sometimes i find it handy if im rinsing the frames down

That was one example of a real review from a real window cleaner.  Not a trialist but someone who bought it.  OK some people may not save time, but surely saving water allows you to do more work with the water you have, without having on some occasions to drive about to get more water, so more work can be done.  I have came across people who work on a reduced flow so as not so much water is wasted while they keep the water running, but these people are wasting time on the glass.

Everyone works differently, flow rates, turning water on off etc.  No doubt other reviews and opinions will be along soon.  The ultimate set up I would say is a good flow of water (less time on each window) with the ability to easily turn it off moving from window to window, so no water wasted.

You shouldn't get a burst of water when you turn the tap on if your settings are right. When you dead end the water the pump shouldn't run building up pressure in the pipes before the controller or pump switches the pump off.

They should be available in many more places by the end of next week. Doug, Lee, Richard, and the Window Cleaning Warehouse have them just now.

Digital I used to have build up of pressure.

Analogue I don't get any. As the pressure setting is way more accurate.
