There was a division of opinion over the hose we supplied. Although the feedback we received on the hose was 84% Good or Excellent we didn’t like that some users got frustrated with it
So, we are now supplying new hose. We did our own tests, and a few customers agreed to test the hose for us too, their comments (and one video review) are below.
the new hose has definitely improved compared to the first hose we received. We have a Gardiner CLX22 pole that this is on and feel that the on/off action is more precise with the pole at full stretch … If this was my decision to make, the new hose would be supplied with every aquadaptor that was ordered.
I think for hot water users red hose may be more suitable than yellow … Have noticed less bits of grit/muck sticking to red hose.
Bottom line I prefer the red hose to the yellow.
[Cleaning] with the aqua-daptor is so much easier!Harder pipe, compared to older yellow pipe, so more durable. Has a coil memory but i find it does not tangle as much as the yellow.
I liked the previous yellow hose but it never really settled down – ie. never laid flat, it always seemed to curl up into a birds nest and tangle … the new hose is very well behaved as after 2 jobs it lays flat while in use and follows faithfully like a puppy, yet when placing back into the van coils into a nice shape without any tangles … very impressed so far!
the hose has virtually no coil, unlike the original yellow hose. Also not once did I fail to turn the Aqua-dapter on or off, whereas before with the yellow hose, I had a few times the hose failed to respond.
Working at height over 25ft, is when you notice how the new hose works better. There was no stretching like the yellow hose at height, which caused a delayed response turning the A-d on or off, the new red hose was instantanious every time.
Overall simply brilliant, much easier to work with.
I would definitely recommend this hose.
