Uni valve

[DarrenD]

So just got a univalve. I have flow valves on all my brushes and I'm noticing that the univalve won't work with a flow valve after it. Anyone else had this issue ?

why do you need a flow valve, you get used to just pulling the hose, so to speak

ive always had a tap under my brush head, you get used to not using it eventually. univalve makes life easier

I use them to try and save resin. If the pressure is to high and the water is coming out the jets to fast I use them to slow down the flow. Then my plan was to use the uni valve to turn the water on and off

I gather from your setup that you are not using a flow controller. Using a tap to slow your flow will put undue strain on your pump. This will use more power from your battery and shorten the life of your pump. If you don't want to spend £100 on a controller, they can be built quite cheaply using one of these,

one of these or similar,

and a small project box.

I've been using a similar one for nearly ten years.

I got a digital controller for £49.99 and it's pretty good

Flow controller in van and a univalve on your pole is all you need

@Alex Gardiner I no you now have your own on off water control valve. With the amount of people that now use the univalve and the amount of people that use the Q.loc system I use both is it possible in the near future that you could produce a Q.loc swivel with a male connector each end that you could disconnect brush pop the swivel in Pop the brush back on do the awkward windows disconnect brush back on carry on.

PS I think most people would buy one if you think it would be a major seller feel free to pm me for my personal details if you would like to send me a Slx 27 Thank you.

Why not a swivel you can lock? [emoji848] You can send me a nice new pole instead [emoji12] Sorry Andy

Reach-it have probably patented it on their side2side angle adaptor.
