screw thread on top broke again today!!and the spring!!this is the second aqua-daptor ive broke in 2 weeks.only used this one for 10 days or so.i bought it last year but never been used until 2 weeks ago.my last one i used for about a year and the same things happened!

ive spent around £250 on aqua-daptors over the last few years.i wont be buying another now.my mark 2 one literally snapped in half after 12 months use.

so both mark 3 XL have broke now.i love their pole hose though.very hard wearing hose.

exactly how I have my pole set up ... saves some water ... no weight and lasts for ever 

[MWC]

Has anyone ever measured how much water is actually saved using these gadgets?

I bet you only save about 5 litres a day, couldn't be bothered with the messing and money wasted when I can just disconnect the hose or kink it.

I know what u mean me and my dad and brother have been through about four aquadaters that have simply snapped in half.
Most have been replaced free of charge love the product but hate it when they break.
They now say no goosenecks and dont shake the brush too hard as it can damage it.
I think the product is too long and needs shortening.

? how do you turn off the water when the poles 20ft in the air.
no point putting a tap at the brush end when you cant turn it off between windows.
unless you have very long arms.

its great for ground floor windows mate and i turn the tap on and kink the hose when extending!

ive tried a pole hose tap on the other end of the pole hose and they just keep breaking with getting dragged across the ground!!

Just what I thought. It needs to be at the bottom.
I was going to buy a AD, as they are a great idea, but after this post Think ill have a tap strapped to bottom of pole

Nope I love my aqua -daptors

[wfp master]

the loop is the only bad thing about a tap on the bottom of pole.
got an a/d but still prefer tap on the pole for on /off.

I fitted a tap at the brush end 4 years ago, love it.

[robbo333]

I have two (one as a spare) and I have to refit the springs on both. 

[bobplum]

daz try the aqua tap
I have had the Aqua adapter and prefer the Aqua tap by a long shot.
We use two on our poles not much goes wrong with them

What loop?

Once the pole is fully extended, how far from the base of the pole should the tap be along the pole hose?  Mine always seems to be too far away from me to easily turn the flow off.  It's normally easier and quicker to collapse the pole right down then either clean the ground floor windows or walk off to wherever the tap is hiding.

The exact same thing happened mine I bought one last month and was broke in first couple of hours. The spring broke so total wast of money won't be trying them again.

Dazmond ! Dont ever take that tap off!!
We have used ours exactly as you are using yours now for a number of years. I compared this way to using a AD in some week long tests (a week using a AD then a week using the tap), the AD saved between 20 to 25 litres a day compared to this method.
The advantage of just using the tap is very little weight gain AND more importantly SHORTER closed pole length.
We love them taps!

Granted i dont have a van mount, just a backpack, but I use a remote control for turning the water on and off, it's brilliant
