personally i dont like the idea of having the extra weight at the top of the pole, and with the thumb screw and the big loop in the hose at the top, is only going to get snagged on things.
 if they could of incorperated the idea into a gooseneck,that simply screws into the pole threaded end so its not just bodged on to the end of your pole, i think that would of been a better product.

i would have thought any warranty with your pole would be void cutting the end off!

Who gives a warranty with there poles I only know of brodex, I don't really see the need for it its just as easy to kink the pole hose anyway but I would prefer that to the auto brush.

I have a tap on my pole which weights nowt in comparison with that thing.

 It will catch on things and be a right pain. Plus where the hose enters the thingy it WILL LEAK as you are pulling on it.

Most importantley.....it adds to the weight ???

It needs to be thought out a little more before I part with money for one? Cutting poles, it won't work if over tightened so a bit of tape will rectify it  ::) and like someone already mentioned, I can see it getting caught on bush's and whatever else we have to deal with overhead with that size loop.

I'll give this one a miss and stick to my tried and tested tap at my hip for the price of £10.

actually if you send the o/d of your pole they can have it so it fits without the tape etc. I agree with ewan an excellent bit of kit well thought out. I may buy one in the future but using the auto brush for now

Over complicated if you ask me. When it fails you will also have one useless pole too. Far simpler to have a push fit tap on the hip. Buy a couple and change in four seconds if one breaks.
Snag the hose on a plant pot and squirt the customer in the face.
Dreadful, dreadful design.

well they must be doing something right as they seem to be selling them.

i do know that they have tested the product for 18 months with
some window cleaning company(dont know who they are) and they
stood up really well

the guy that designed it tested it himself and he used a few others as well to test it and is confident that it will not break. How can the guys say that it will break and fail and leak possibly know if they haven't tried it, and it has loads of advantages over a trigger or hip tap

You just know that clamp is going to slip around the tape when you try and clean gutters etc with the brush on it's side. When you fit a different brush head too, the chances of it lining up will be very slim. Catch the u bend on a gutter bracket and no water.
What happens when you want to use a gooseneck?
Everything breaks or wears out in the end, so when it does you will be left with a useless pole ' till you order another aquadapter.
For that reason - I'm Out!

I've tried one out. It has good points and bad points just like everything else in life.

One concern, wish they'd use larger diameter tubing so it will fit most makes of water fed pole. or better still make an extension which fits into the bottom of the aquadapter so it can it can be converted onto larger diameter poles with less hassle or even incorporate a screw thread adapter so it can simply screw straight onto any pole fitted with a plastic angle gooseneck.

Not a bad bit of kit but plenty of room for improvement.
