Brodex Screw Thread Adapters Now Available

We have a very small first batch of the Brodex Screw Thread Adapters available.  These suit the Brodex Hydra 3YG pole, so you can fit an Aqua-dapter to it without any modification to the pole.

Here are a couple of amateur shots of the product, which will be replaced when the proper ones are done!

The Aqua-dapter Mk2 is now available!

Finally…

The Aqua-dapter Mk2 is available for immediate despatch!

What’s different about the Mk2?

The first, and one of the most obvious differences, is that the body of the Aqua-dapter is now flared out at the end, allowing it to fit directly to larger diameter poles with an outside diameter of 25.4mm (e.g. Brodex Hydra, once the collar is removed).

Another benefit of the flared design is that it has allowed us to develop the Screw Thread Adapter which can be screwed onto your existing thread, allowing you to fit the Aqua-dapter Mk2 to your Water Fed Pole without any modifications! (with the Mk1 you need to remove the screw thread from your WFP.)  There are Screw Thread Adapters to suit poles with Standard threads, Gardiner threads and Brodex collars.

Those aren’t the only improvements though:

• We’ve changed the plastic used to a high impact engineering plastic, and increased the thickness of the trigger and the side body, strengthening the whole unit.
• We’ve upgraded to Stainless Steel rivets to improve the end screw fixing, and the end screw now fits into the end of the Aluminium body very tightly before it is fixed, reducing the possibility of any ‘play’ when it’s under stress.
• You’ll notice that as well as being slightly thicker, one edge of the trigger is chamfered, which helps the tap to turn.
• The carriage inside the Aqua-dapter now has ‘shoulders’ on the top which reduce rotation of the carriage inside the body, and so assists correct operation of the tap and prevents other problems.
• Last but not least, the pipe used in the Aqua-dapter is now Aluminium, making the Aqua-dapter Mk2 suitable for use with hot water systems.

As you can see, we’ve put a lot of effort into this new version, and we’re committed to continually improving our products.  There are ‘add-ons’ (similar to the Screw Thread Adapter) planned in the coming weeks and months, but the Aqua-dapter Mk2 itself is here to stay for the foreseeable future!

If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through the Contact Form on our website, our Get Satisfaction page, or of course via email, and we’ll do our best to respond promptly.

Aqua-dapter Mk2 Release Date

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that the release date for the Aqua-dapter Mk2 has kept “slipping” >:-(

I can assure you this is as much of a frustration to us as it is to you, as we really want to get going with the new product!

We have been let down more than once by suppliers not delivering when promised, which has caused the date to slip.

In the meantime we’ve had a few small deliveries and samples from which we’ve been able to produce a few and sent them out to those of you who’ve been waiting the longest.

The latest promise we’ve had is that we will have parts delivered tomorrow, which should mean we can ship any remaining orders at the end of this week.

The bad news is that the price will be going up then too so, if you’re considering buying an Aqua-dapter Mk2 and don’t mind waiting a few days for it, now’s the time to order.  Remember that we offer a Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee, we’re that sure you’ll love using it!

New Aqua-dapter preview

We have been listening to our customers and have addressed the biggest issue that end users seem to have – having to saw their poles.

While we still recommend that you will still get a stronger fitting if you use the original method of attachment, we have now modified our product slightly so that it will fit onto a screw thread adapter which we will sell as an optional accessory.

Hopefully this will go into production toward the end of September/early October.

Here is a short video preview of the new unit.
