Title: can anyone recommend an alternative GARDINER'S UNIVERSAL SILL 26CM BRUSH ?
Post by: Richard iSparkle on November 05, 2020, 05:01:57 pm
I'm ordering a new load of brushes.

we have used the gardiner universal sill brush for a few years and love them, but i dont love the new replaceable jets. its just one more thing to break to be honest with no advantage for us

can anyone recommend an alternative which is good?

Have you tried them with the close coupled jet hose assembly?

I was skeptical about the new jet set-up, but have found them no problem at all.

I like the new jets, so much better with 4 x 3mm jets, simplicity.  :)

The close coupled assembly is your best bet.  Almost impossible to break!👍Also improves swivel use significantly.

Yep. Close coupled on all of ours now. Haven’t broke a jet since.

 yes, the xline mono sill with rinse bar. expensive, slightly heavier but well worth it.

The sill brushes I use these days are the xtreme sill....both the flocked and the stiff bristle versions....perfect for most maintenance cleans.....I dont have a problem with the jet capsules as I too use the close coupling T pieces.....

The new jets are terrible. Break or leak so easily. The old ones worked fine?

it means gardiners can reduce their costs by mass produce one head and then charge customers to have their preference of jets
