The Uni-valve has some excellent benefits. Weight being one of them.

I'm afraid I don't like the on/off action as I find it very stiff and have difficulty 'feeling' it. I honestly prefer the action of the old Aquadapter.  I don't know whether this changed as both of mine are from the first manufacture.

I also don't like the O clip bodge on the pipe at the exit of the angle adapter.

I'm waiting for Alex's product before I consider another Uni-valve.

Hi Spruce. I didn't like that 'O' clip bit either. This works well for me. It's cut from a piece of 2" plastic plumbing pipe and drilled with 7.5mm bit. It forms a tight push fit but is removable to make roadside repairs easy if necessary.





I've also found that the higher the pressure that the pump is set to the more difficult it is to operate the univalve. Mine are from the second batch, and generally are very easy to operate. However, I tried a fixed 115psi pump on my trolley and found it almost impossible to operate the univalve with that much pressure.

Thanks for that. Thats a great idea. I would like to copy that if you don't mind.

Much appreciated.

No probs Spruce. Best of it is I found the length of pipe on a pile of rubbish on bin day.

Univalve is very good
This  gar-diners device seems it will be a twist action.

The univalve is for any pole .
I don't think gardiners device will be able to fit to any pole other than gardiners ?

Don't think it going to be a twist device, from looking at the photo the hose seems to go into the brush and out at one side
which then connects to the jet hoses, I wonder is designed to be switched on and off by pressing the brush or part of it against the glass ?

115 PSI? why would anyone need that? I have worked with a 35 psi pump and it's totally adequote.
It must be 12 years since I sweitched to WFP, still using the same Surflow 60 psi pump with a varistream. Once you disconnect that pressure switch and let the varistream take control it will pump at 130 psi with everything turned to maximum. THe pump is the same only the presssure switch was differnt, once disconnected you can wind it up until it's popping connectors.
But for what? You only neede an adequote supply of water, jet washing glass sends spray over to the pane you just cleaned.
Using a greater flow rate is better controlled with jet size, flooding the glass makes for less rinsing, but do it gently.

lol - yes it would be useful to have a commentary & actually see the twist action ...

Wonder how it will manage stretching over roofs and conservatory roofs at an angle
