Just got my brush in from here :

http://www.windowcleaningsupplies.net/prod_show.asp?id=113

A little while a go I saw a pic of a multipole brush and it had crinkle monofilament, mine doesn't. But looking at the Ionics catalogue it doesn't have crinkle monofilament brushes.

I thought they said a little while ago they redesigned their brushes, I'm just hoping I've got a new one, and not old stock or something. It should be allright I think. :)

It's got tiny little jets, more like the ones Gardiners uses. I thought they used to have those big screw in ones, that looked from the brush end like big bolts.

ive got a ionics mono and a crinkle and i find the mono a lot better brush as the crinkle looses its shape and blocks the flow from the jets

Supposed to be used with hot water the new one,can be a bit stiff with cold water.If you don`t have a hot system place it in hot water for a minute and see the difference in the bristles,they go softer and splay better.

Hm that'd suck, because they advertise it as being more durable with hot, but just as effective with cold. Hm....... I'll have a look. :)

Well the Cleantech brush is flocked, so you'd have a hard time using that rinsing with brush on, apart from that. I really don't know what brush would be best. I think I will be happy with this one once I start with wfp.
