to be honest mate it isnt that bad to carry, i used to just pinch the hose to stop the water when i used mine, i now have a full van set up with triggers on my poles and ive got to admit they are great

I believe that Ian W has used a Numatic trigger on at least one of his poles.

Is that right, Ian?

Maybe you could let us have pictures and the benefit of your learnings?

extend your pole to full length, make a little loop with your hose, then cut it, fit the trigger to the pole and then feed the hose into the top of the trigger, then connect you feed hose to the other end of the trigger, nice and easy, i cable tied the feed hose to the trigger as i found it worked better then

I use triggers on all my poles, I think Sureclean (Ireland) are doing a special on them, the ones I bought were bout £25 each but I wouldn't use a pole without one now, saves soo much time and you wouldn't believe the water you save, in reference to fitting them they are incredibly easy, but whichever supplier you choose to get it from will explain how to fit it. the only thing I would say is that when your pole is closed you will have a loop of pole hose which some might find annoying but now I have got used to it it's not a problem. I might not have explained everything appropriately so let me know if you won't to know more.

thats the way I should have explained it, that's a good idea regards table the feed hose to the pole as I find that it sometimes slips out of line with the trigger and can be annoying, so must try this tomorrow, thanks for that!!
