Vikan brushes are like fitting breeze blocks on the pole, must be mad. Nothing wrong with Ova8 brush 4 or 6 jets, go for 8mm jet hose, not the smaller 6mm jet hose.

The one I’ve got coming  has got 4 jets I’ve never understood why all manufactures don’t give the option of more jets on a standard size brush,having more jets means less scrubbing.

The Vikan brushes are brilliant mate, a lot of truck washes and car washes swear by them. You'll be hard pushed to wear one out. If strength and longevity is what you are after then look no further.

If you want that kind of brush ie Vikan I would go for an Ultimate DuPont bristle from Gardiner,they last a long time especially with cold water I would think because they do quiet well with hot.
They are way lighter than a Vikan brick in fact they feel like an extreme brush in comparison.
