Since their introduction to the industry, water fed poles have been a successful and hugely useful tool for cleaning, however there are problems with existing methods of water flow control.
For instance, consider the existing methods:
1. Triggers; work well for flow control but can be awkward to use. They also leave an irritating loop of hose which can twist, making water fed poles difficult to extend, and also the obvious trip hazard.
2. Holsters; these are attached to your waist, which in turn means you are attached to the hose. As well as feeling rather restrictive, you also get the problem of wet trousers!
3. Hose tail connector taps; provide a definite on/off control, however are not practical for controlling the flow between windows.
Aqua-dapter is fitted to the top section of your pole, and connected to your brush.
The control mechanism is operated from the handle, by pulling the hose to switch the water flow on and off.
The tap can also be turned manually if you are working on ground level windows.
Size: Aqua-dapter comes in a standard size, to fit the top section of poles with a diameter of 20-23.5mm. If you need a different sized fitting, we can provide an adapter to fit.
Hose: The unit comes as standard with 10 metres of high quality low stretch hose, which stays consistent in hot and cold weather. Extra hose can be supplied to order.
Weight: The Aqua-dapter adds about 100 grams to your pole, once you have cut it down to size (see FAQ).
Construction: Aluminium and stainless steel; injection molded plastic.
Warranty: The unit comes with a 12 month manufacturers guarantee on parts.
Testing: Machine tested for 30 minutes spinning the tap at 500RPM. 15,000 turns and still working as new.
