This looks like a good idea I hope a quick loc swivel can be fitted to it.

I came up with the solenoids idea a few years back. Biggest issue was the size of 12V solenoids. A week before the show i came across a 6v version DOH! I could have knocked something up if i would have researched more.

However i have a meeting with a supplier to hopefully unload all my ideas and let them research them.

Looking forward to this product!

Xline seem to be the only company pushing things forward!

Why? when a tap does the job.  ???

Some things never make any sense to me. A tap on the brush is one I have never fathomed out in eight years of wfp too.

Another point : What weight would it be ?

Anything on the top of the pole makes a light brush head feel not so light any more.

If it was super light though i would consider.

You'd have to try it to see the real benefits of things like aquadaptor and aquataps, they not only make like easier but save so much water and time, they allow you to use a much higher flow rate too

Sorry, don't think the quote was for you......

Yes - brilliant work smoother, last longer and more reliable than the aquadaptor  ;D

rather have it on connection from hose to pole hose to reduce weight at top of pole. Hope Solenoid is strong to cope with to use with a certain product that I wont name that made my aquatap stick

Why not next to the pump in the van or on the trolley? It would eliminate what could be the biggest problem of battery life.

That's just the same as a remote. Only difference is on/off would be instant. The idea with this is so that the signal is from you to the top of the pole. Not from you to the van.

To turn the water off then on then off. Repeat until you understand ;)

Tuuurn theeee waterrrrr offfff and onnnnnnn .......
Oh I get it! So spend a load of money on something that does the same thing as a valve or tap. Add some weight to the pole. Reach in your pocket for the key fob every time you want to use it , change batteries when it goes flat etc.
Brilliant! I want one.
Except I'd need three - one for every pole.
