How does it work? - The swivel handle that fits on the end of your traditional pole has a tightening ring that clamps to the brush stock on the top of the brush. With a waterfed pole you just need to add a cone so that the wagtail handle just pushes on. Very simple & works like a dream! If you are worried about the Orbit falling off, a simple screw can be screwed through into the cone with the pre-drilled hole already on the Wagtail handle. Testers so far have said this is not needed. It may be cautious to add this at much higher heights though (40+ feet) where the weight of the pole could twist the handle.

This is another revolutionary piece of equipment from 'Down Under' -  the Orbit is the latest invention from Willie Erken that will take over the window cleaning World especially in the World of waterfed poles. Utilizing the same orbiting motion as the world famous Wagtail hand tools, the Orbit allows the water fed pole user to access windows where there is an obstacle below or side. Allowing the user to stand diagonal from a window and easily reach each corner of the glass high above and efficiently clean all surfaces with minimal strain. The Orbit easily pivots from side to side, getting the brush head into corners where previously a large area could be missed or cleaned poorly.
