We do not have 1.5mm jets - but we are working on fanjets which will use less water than 2mm pencil jets.

I agree - I have always taught the 'curtain effect' for rinsing and this is best achieved with a good flow of water. For me the best jets are still 2mm (well 1.97-1.99mm to be precise!).

Without a decent flow rate, you cannot get the 'curtain' and as a result you either spend more time rinsing or the chance of inadequate rinsing. This applies whether rinsing on or off the glass.

For me water is cheap (and yes I am on a water meter) but my time is not cheap. Just my opinion :)
