It`s from my local cleaning supplier,they don`t come as a wfp brush i just drill a couple of small holes remove a few bristles and fit a couple of 4mm jets,i`ve always used these brushes on my poles they are perfect and very affordable,Gaz

Gaz seen the tip in this http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=15080.0
Ye thanks Jeff,im just testing it out to see if i like the hose on the outside as ive always had the hose running inside,ive found some plastic clips that are used for wet and dry cleaners for holding the hose to the pole they seem to be doing the trick,i`ll be using it tomorrow to see how it goes,Gaz

Like the pole is that a two section one if so can you get Three x 6ft ones ??
Also can you buy the clamp section seperate ??
Can you buy the clamp parts seperate ??

I prefer hose up the centre of pole less thing dangling in the wind, less to catch anything and break..

The secret is not doing as you like but liking what you do

Gaz,

Can you post another pic of the trigger you have at the bottom of your pole?

Can you explain how you attached trigger and were to buy?

Neil,heres a couple of pics of the trigger and how it`s attached to pole and connects to hose,
it`s off a numatic wet n dry carpet cleaner, the connectors are pro push fit and i use 6mm hose and then about 6ft of 4mm hose that goes to the trigger connector with a very small piece of 6mm hose to connect together and a push fit connector,
i would not do with out a trigger i find it`s so easier and the water is on and off at my control,
if you need anymore info just ask,Gaz ;)

Hi Gaz

I have a sack barrow type trolley with a 40 p.s.i. pump, 7 AH battery, micro chip flow control and it carries two 25 lts containers.

The problem is that the sack barrow is not man enough for the job.

I’ve also thought about upping the pump and battery.

It looks like you have already done this with the same sack barrow I was thinking of using.

I would be really interested in how you went about building yours.

A picture would be just too kind.

Thanks. 

Nick.

Gaz, I did it looks great. I do not know were to source all the parts including trigger.

Can you tell me if your brush head will fit on these standard plastic adapters that I use with my vikan brush?

Neil,i got the triggers from a mate of mine who owns a washer,vaccum etc sales and repair shop, the ones i use are the older type and he`s going to look into it if he can get the new ones,
as for the brush it doesn`t have a thread in it i use a tapered adaptor that pushes in and i secure it with a small self tapper screw and then i put an angle addaptor on the pole then put the brush on,Gaz
