Ain't them tee peices rubbish.Because it rained i was making a few daytime calls that i don't normaly a get chance too.One was to kirsty for a couple of brushes.Supa lite mono with fitted 40 fans.

I said by the way your tee peices are a really cheap way of presenting an otherwise great brush.I use some black things that are a push fit, they are obviously a much better option.She said she would pass my comments on to her technical advisor.I wonder who that is?

Anyway, anyone who knows what i'm talking about and and agrees or has a link or a picture help me out.

But if they are the right ones they are certainly worth getting.

Post by: Window Washers on January 12, 2011, 06:21:23 pm: is a shame they dont have flared jets so 6mm pipe fits straight on the jets,

Post by: Clive McDonald on January 12, 2011, 06:26:28 pm: Exactly my thoughts.How annoying to get wet all of the time because of some numbskulls stupidity. When you clean through railing for juliets etc the brush and attached hose takes a right beating.Over time less robust designs leak.When it's cold we get freezing hands.Thanks Alex you saved about thirty pence.

About three years from now you'll say heh what a great idea, if only i'd listened to that advanced slumpbuster guy i wouldn't have arithritus in my hands, and piles.

WW the 6mm fit on mine (fans)
