Title: sorry chaps, but bigger is better 😂😂
Post by: nathankaye on June 14, 2017, 10:06:09 am
Couldnt resist the pun.....

But ive now switched to a 14" brush with four jets, spaced out better. Using quick screw jets and absolutely enjoying it. Its a streamline brush, quite light but not light enough that it feels like a cheap plastic toy brush lol.

I clean normal ground floor n first floor style houses and sometines 2 storey houses so weight it not of great importance to me. But it steps it up a level to make for quick work.

Im also waiting for my rinse/spray bar to come which i can add to it as well.

I know this maybe a stupid question but unsing  four jets does that mean you use twice as much water ? I like the idea of a bigger brush and can also see the  benefits my concern is the amount of water used as I have a 500 l tank and often use 400 l a day

14” brush with two fan jets on a 12LPM pump, thats the best combination for me so far.

You’re not likely to use any more water as you can only get a certain amount of water down 6mm or 8mm pole-hose regardless.

Is the rinse bar so that you can rinse on the glass?

I received the rinse bar (from bissel wash vacuum spray bar) which is only 9inch long today.  Im going to attach it to my standard 10inc dual trim brush which i also use four jets on instead.  Yes its to allow rinsing on glass but it gives a greater coverage of water.
However saying that, im really really liking this 14" dual trim brush with 4 jets. The rinse is great and the larger brush makes very lite work of the windows.

I find the more jets, the more the flow goes up and the quicker the water disappears. Could easily use 600 litres a day but try to keep to 500 unless pushed for time.

Ive posted this before but on my previous brush set up of 4 jets to keep an even flow i had it set on 80. Since i changed how i linked them up ive started to turn the flow down.
This is the same on this new brush, so 500 litres is more than enough. Well for me anyways.
