Revised Easy off/on switch on a belt

No need to spend hundreds of pounds just to turn the water ON/OFF.

My tap in a holster works for me.
It's a game of three halves!

I’m lost for words...

Univalve is £35 - not hundreds

No belt required - no being attached to the hose - very simple and effective

Univalve, no loop. Catch up
This turns the water off/ on like  a light switch,
No faffing around pulling hoses jugging poles in hand.
Pulling  rectus connection on the ground.
No pole hose dragging around feet.
Cost of this set up is around ten quid.
How much was yours again???

£35. Plus vat. For a convenient, well manufactured,  guaranteed product that works without the loop of excess pole hose, (the bit that goes up the extreme pole when working above ground level)
This to me, makes it worth every penny.

This is for each pole then???
So as good as it seems you still have to lift /hold pole while pulling pole hose to turn on or off.
All we do is flick a switch.
Regarding pole hose suppose it's OK if you have a Excess pole hose.
This is one less thing you have to buy.
But if you happy with what you got good on you then. :)

i used to enjoy the early DIY days , dog earing squeegee channels ,carbon  fishing poles ,  bently and salmon brushes
 and not to forget the harris pole and trolley system .
Scouring b@q wilko and garden centres for tubing , different hose connectors and reels.
 Most of the tools i use today come from the DIY ers of yesterday .

Yes your right there.
The only reason people have had problems with have a water switch  of any sort has been that they tend to leak.
Found a solution to this using a nozzle works the same as a fire hose nozzle valve.
We will see what people think when a manufacture works it out and brings it out. ;D

Like my tap in a holster ... and I can vary the flow with mine if I need to.

Uni vale - simle, lightweight - no hose wrapped around your gut - no heavy belt having to hold up yer trousers  - freedom to leave the pole proper up against a fence, house - no unclipping on return to the van - sit in van without all that junk hanging off your waste need I go on ( unlike you...)

with your system your very likely to trip over the hose you've just connected to your waist - its also unportable to move around like this - also your switch is across the side of your body so your constantly reaching around to turn on/off water and that birds nest or pole hose is going to land by your feet and trip you up  - hopefully you can address these problems - thats about it

We have learnt NOT to mention it - we will now be bombarded with hundred of threads about his super pad cleaner

Also you got to remember that taps that have been used in the past are designed to off /on now and then.
NOT continuously turn off/on this is why they eventually leak.
So all we have done differently is used a garden hose nozzle which has a thumb off/on switch which was designed to be   continuously used.
