i have used and used and used bloody pole taps, every kind every which way, on the pole off the pole on the ground on my belt etc etc etc, in my very honest opinion buy an aquadapter !!! you will love it and i dont even have the mk3 (YET) im going to be writing a review on it quite soon so check it out at the window cleaning magazine hopefully next month (great publication by the way) but seriously if your thinking (they are expensive) i bet after a week of owning one you will think differently

Rich,
How/what do you use to connect your pole hose to your micro or mini hose?
I use a tap on my belt but got the mark 3 A/Q but then the hose fitting dragged and gor caught on everything. It drove me mad so I'm back to the tap on my belt

im afraid to say there isnt really a good way to stop dragging stuff however, i use the rectus 26 connections which i find to be harder wearing and when im pulling the hose to the furthest window i do it with the connecter in my hand, or you could try hose balls for the pole hose and a tennis ball tyle thing for the main hose, but you will alway be replacing connectors, ive started only using jubali clips for everything now even pole hose because the others are a night mare to take off

I use foam practice golf balls from tesco as protecta balls so nothing gets snaged when dragging hose. Mike
