Tap options

[john39]

guys im losing lots of water running back and forth to turn of pump box.

can you install a tap up at the brush so I can turn it of and on? does anyone else have this attached and how do you find it, does it work well

I just use a normal water-stop connector on the end of my hose. Disconnect pole hose & water stops as pressure sensor cuts pump off.

Yes, you just need a barbed reducer from 1/2" to 8mm & put 6" of normal 1/2" garden hose on the end to take the Hozelock fitting.

This is what you need-

I got one from a local caravan spares outlet.

OD? outside diameter? Do you mean ID, inside diameter (minibore)? If so, using a reducer as above & a normal Hozelock type water stop connector will do the job. If you don't have an electronic controller on the pump, the pumps own pressure switch will cut it out.

I use these.

Is this a trolley? You don't mention a hose "reel".

I use an aquatap it fits between the pole and the brush . One twist you turn it on , twist to turn it off great bit of kit

Can't put a link on here for some reason ,, look on YouTube .

There are £30 to buy from the window-tools website / forum ( which seems to be down .... Good start to the day )

 

[john39]

Thanks natty I will have a look into that

 

[john39]

Does this contrapiton fit a clx27 it says its a screw fit

 

[Natty1972]

It has a screw thread . Gardiners do a screw thread angle adapter on the website . You use that instead of the quicklock

 

[Natty1972]

Tench uses an aquadapter . , don't know where to buy that from ...

Use a 8mm rectus21 type end stop and hose tail. Low profile solution. Brilliant. Don't bother with hozelock and reducers with garden hose, pointless.
