did you guys upgrade your brushes when you went hot?
i currently use extreme medium mixed,medium sill brush and medium mixed SL standard brushes.
ive just ordered
2 extreme stiff brushes
1 radius stiff sill brush
1 SL stiff brush
to be honest ive not been impressed with the medium mixed extremes.they are fine for a couple of months then lose their shape and dont seem to scrub very well.both the sill brush and sl standard brushes are ok though.

Oh great, dazmonds posts are going to be even more longer now he will have to mention all his new hot setup and new brushes....
Boy i cant wait... :-)

I've got medium mixed radius sill as my everyday brush.
A bit floppy after 2 months if I'm honest.
I'm going to try for stiff bristles next month.

I reckon Dazmond converting to hot is bigger than Downton Abbey.

Daz, you can 'reset' the brush bristles by submerging only the bristles, but not the stock, in just off boiling water for about 20-30secs and leave to cool,. It puts them back into their original shape.

It's a drama on telly about converting a wfp system from a cold one to a hot one.

Try Tecbuk brushes -awesome cleaning power
-
kempy i would try a tecbrush but they are heavy!as i use extreme poles with the light aqua-daptor i mainly use extreme brushes and SL standard brushes.sill brush great for fascias,soffits and conny roofs so ive just gone one up in bristle stiffness.hopefully theyll be able to handle hot water and last a bit longer.
ive heard of downtown abbey griff but ive never watched it.i think my mum and dad watch it though! ;D ;D

your right gary ive always said there was no need for hot water.i do change my mind a lot.i also weigh up the pros and cons and come to a decision.sometimes it takes me a long time to make a decision but once my mind is made up i go for it full steam ahead!(pardon the pun!) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
i still think hot water is a luxury but i like luxury!and why not!i work hard enough!and can afford it.
if i dont think its for me i could easily go back to cold water knowing ive tried it out.

dazmond you dont have to explain yourself to me or anyone else ;D

im considering hot myself for the spring when i have a push on
con and fascia cleaning :)

Dazmond definately made the right choice with the new stiff brushes , i had the medium mixed to start with , i then fired up the L5 and killed the brushes in less than a week , i tried the hot water reset method but it didnt bring them back as they were.
If you are going hot then stiff bristles are the way to go .....
Well done Dazmond , you just saved yourself at least £100 in the long run ;D ;D ;D
