Any idea what it is?

Still waiting for the extreme sill brush, get a shift on Alex Gardiner!

It might work like a John Smiths widget , it goes in the bottom of the tank and the water comes out all frothy with a Vision head 🤣

It’s to turn your pole into a washing line prop.

I’ve spoken to Alex, and it’s ok to reveal it’s the new waterless cleaning at height system from Gardiners. It’s actually a variation on my Shammyonastick invention (patent pending). Expected to use no more than two litres of water a day. Should be on sale soon.
With this product and a quick loc connector rammed up the pole handle we expect to prevent repetitive strain injury forever. Attachment Clips for wheelchair users available too.

I think Alex is taking a cue from Spotless Water!

They say it's 'Coming Soon'....

...

...

...but we know it never is!  ???

Not sure I understand how these work?? Maybe put a picture of them on a brush to show how they’re fitted Alex?

I like the look of these jet capsules - hopefully all brushes will be able to take them

by the looks of it you push them in a twist 90 degrees to lock in place - a nice feature if I'm correct

I think unger have done similar in the past.

I do like the idea of it but I can’t see me using it really.

Only use xtreme brushes, so no use for me.

I’m sure Alex will bring a video out soon explaining it all.


Guess the idea is to prevent the need to buy the t piece and hose that comes with brushes?

Yes the widget is the tool to twist them with. Gives you the chance to change jets on one brush. Maybe fans for a roof then back to pencils.

Correct - that is one of the 5 functions of the 'Widget'  :)

The Jet Capsules can be twisted into position by hand - however if fitting or changing them often the widget makes it much easier.

This will also feature on the Xtreme brushes in due time.

I will be shooting a  video soon to demonstrate how to use them -  :)

You will still need the same T connector and jet hose as currently.

That is the idea - push in, twist 45° clockwise and they lock in place.

All of our brushes (bar the Micro-brush) will gradually change over to these in time.

It's not the first time a quick-release jet has been used on brushes, but these are unique with their compact size, choice of jet types, colour coding and push-fit tube connections.

Hi Alex,

What’s the overall use for these over normal jets?

Thanks!
