Why on earth anyone would add any sort of extra weight ON THE WRONG END of a telescopic pole is beyond me.
I am no light weight and did indeed try a AD, IMO my little tap on my pole hose with no loop does the trick.
Using a AD is like using an old vikan sill brush again. WHY WOULD YOU??

125g is nowhere near a vikan, 400ish gram last time I looked.

I have tried triggers, "little tap on pole hose" and even the aqua tap. Can honestly say that nowt beats the aquadapter.

Richard, add 125g to a 225g supalite, you may as well have a vikan attached. Try taking your AD off on monday then come back on here and tell me what you think! Honestly give it a go!!

I put an aqua adapter on my slx just before Xmas, had it on for a couple of days then took it of.  I thought it spoiled the slx with the extra weight, I know people will say it's only 125 grams but when you have it extended it felt a lot more. There is extra fittings for the newest slx which takes a bit of the angle out of the resi neck plus there is an extra 6 inches to ur pole. Have a holster now prefer it much more. Still have aqua adapter in toolbox if you want to buy it. Wayne.

Maybe to save water?

If i said I did tests and the AD saved me just over 25 ltrs over a day, compared to my 'tap' you wouldn't believe me? Try it yourself.  :-*

Wayne b - which version of the AD do you have?
Email me your price.


From experimenting, testing and practical experience I'd rather settle for the little added weight than lose the water saving, time saving and convenience that the aquadaptors give.

Hi
new aqua dapter is 106grm.
if you use one of my clamp threads it works out adding 70grms in total to the end of your pole.
the fact that is most of the time leaning on the window you cannot feel the weight.
the benefits far outweigh a little tiny weight on endof pole.
Steve.

I don't know why someone hasn't invented an aquatap type thingy that goes on the other end of the pole.

It'd only add a few inches to the length of the stock.
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.
