Aqua tap Vid
« on: December 11, 2013, 06:11:23 pm »
Thought I would do a vid using the Aqua tap,
my dads the one who has been using it every day
we have aqua adapters, remote button, taps for hose ect,
but the Aqua tap is what he has decided to use.
Hes only been cleaning for a few weeks and thought he'd be
the best one to film using it ;D

Nice to see someone clean the windows properly unlike some on utube who make a hash of things by trying to impress viewers with speed minus the attention to cleaning without leaving spots behind by washing soffitts and air vents at the same time ;D

Ben what were you looking to see?  The video's clearly let's you see how easy the AquaTap is to use.  You can hear the pump start after contact with the window, and you can hear the pump stop just before the brush leaves the glass to move to the next window.  There are other videos on YouTube that shows the AquaTap actually turning, but these particular videos are there to show you it in use, and cleaning windows.  It shows you that the user is not doing anything different than he normally does and is still operating a valve to turn the water on and off, which is the advantage of the AquaTap. His hands don't leave the pole, and his eyes don't leave the glass.  It's nearly just as easy to stop and start the water as it would be if he was controlling it with his mind.  Very good I thought.

Can't you do a proper video showing your product?

Tell me what you want to see and I will try and do one.  I had nothing to do with these video's but thought it was a good effort.  Problem is if you do a close up of the tap then you can't see what the operator is doing, and if you see what the operator is doing you can't see the tap is doing.

What do you want to see, it starts and stops water flow, it is just to show
it being used.
Might be useless to you but not to me as now I know how to up load vids to youtube ;)

Lets not get into a debate about what should and what should not be cleaned.
I remember a video I had on here years ago ended up the largest post at the time running to very many pages.  Someone has done a practical video to show how a new tool works, and not how a window should or should not be cleaned.

looks better than than the aquadapter imo.. does it weigh much?, does it effect the rigidity of a pole?

I can't compare it with the AquaDapter as I have not used one.  I can compare with my Autobrush though which it replaces, and it is much better than that.

It weighs 75g and to compare a standard angle joint is about 55g.

It doesn't affect the rigidity of the pole when its on.

Looks very good Peter but I have the following questions:

when say cleaning conservatory roofs including frames etc also guttering, fascia and soffits would it not keep turning the flow of water off when using the wfp brush at different angles?

also how would it work if using a pivot angle adaptor on the brush stock?

It's not ideal for pivoting angle joints although I might be able to do something about it in the future. As far as turning off accidentally, if you look at one of the videos above you will see it does that on one occasion, but it takes less than a second with no effort to turn it back on again.  It's a case of getting used to using it like all tools.  Most of the initial feedback is it can turn on and off when you don't want it to, but after a day or two the problem seems to disappear, and users wouldn't be without it.

Thanks Peter...will give it a miss for the time being unless you want to send me one to trial as a lot of my work is adhoc exterior property deep cleans so would be a good test for the aquatap.
