Spruce,
How durable is the Aqua-adapter Mk3 when used with a SLX pole day in day out?
Thanks
Luke
LUKE,
We have 5 Aqua-dapters between the 3 of us - 4 x Mk2 and 1 MK3. The Mk2's are obviously the oldest and we have had them since they superceded the Mk1. They have been excellent for us and definitely been a water saver.
The Mk3 was purchased for my 40' SLX which hardly gets used, but it makes switching the water on and off so much easier for me.
Highly recommended as I find it so quick to operate.
As regards durability - fine. We have had three tension springs break but they aren't expensive and easy to change with a pair of long nose pliers. They are a consumable item as far as I'm concerned so I wouldn't consider this an issue, especially as the units are all the MK2's and are well over a year old each.
I keep a few replacements here.
I've also replaced a control wheel on my son's pole which got damaged when his pole blew over.
That's it. Personally I would order a unit with the red hose. I have got an Aquadapter on a CLX22 with the red hose and an SLX22 with the orange hose.
Although it is designed to work better with hot water than the orange one, I still prefer the red with cold water.
