Hi Shaun,

Do you have a Mk2 or Mk3?

It's something we're aware of (working to solve), and is included in the "tips" on the fitting instructions:

If you find that the Aqua-dapter™ becomes loose on the screw thread, this is usually when you have a metal end screw. To prevent it coming loose, wind ordinary plastic electrical tape around the thread. 1 or 2 winds should be sufficient.Some people have tried using PTFE tape, but this is too soft to prevent loosening.

Another alternative for a semi-permanent fixing is Low Strength Thread Lock available from shops like Maplin, and online. Some customers report that it works well, although it does make removing the Aqua-dapter™ from the pole more difficult.

I also know that some have used Gorilla Glue as an alternative to Threadlock.

Hope this helps.

Paul

Hi super mck,

The situation should be improved with the Mk3, the female thread was modified slightly to improve the bite. A few users have still reported it loosening, which is why we still include those suggestions in the instructions.

Have you tried any of those, electrical tape, threadlock, gorilla glue?

if you use insulation tape it will last a lot longer than ptfe as it is stronger
