Budget price water saving device .....
« on: February 17, 2014, 09:50:08 pm »
If you paid a minimal price , to save a fair bit of pure per day , what would you want to pay ?

All the bad weather forced me into my man cave to make a little tool up , i found and made what i think to be a great little bit of kit , it is simple in design , as in it cant really go wrong , it has one moving part , fits on the bottom of the pole , is easily moveable whilst working , and does not involve taking your hands off the pole to activate it , it does not have the need to twist the pole for on or off either , and the biggest plus is its coming in at 100g , with still lots of  weight to come off , and it does'nt involve a big loop of pole hose at the operators end .

The only thing it doesnt do at the moment is shut the water off to dead end , it does however dead end the water instantly until you get to the point where reel hose meets pole hose.

By that i mean that the moment you finish your last window you operate the device until you get back to your tap or ez snap , or whatever it is you use , no big hardship as this is what you have always done till now whilst water is still pumping from the brush head.

Do you think my idea has legs or not ?

Cheers for any input recieved

Yup.
100g at the base of the pole is worlds away from 100g at the top.

The problem with pics is that the moment i put them up , another nasty member on this site will steal my idea , who knows maybe even Alex or Unger will rip me off .

The point of my post is to see if you guys think it has legs , does it sound good or not ?

Thanks pole king , thats exactly what i wanted to hear , take the AD for instance , you just took off your Vikan and put on a gardiner to save the strain , then you pop on your AD or aquatap putting you back to square one

the problem with anything at the base of the pole, you will end up with a big loop of pole hose around your ankles.  No thanks!

This happens when you collapse the pole down.

That is probably why the aquadaptor is at the top, not the bottom.
