Had great joy with this lower level brush today! Bees Knees. By gently squeezing the trigger you get a pencil for detailing, hit the trigger hard & you get fast & furious fan jets for speedy rinse. Added at least £20 to my day.

Sounds great, but I fail to see how that could add £20 to your day? especially if you are having to change poles to do the downstairs!!

The last part of the afternoon was 15 oap flats, and the quick rinsing made a real difference.

Kevin, why not quick rinse all day and earn even more money?

Would be nice to have the fan jets whist the brush is on the window and then pencils to rinse.

my next brush is going to only have 1 jet in he middle of the brush

Peter,
Would like to but at the mo I have no trigger on me higher poles! So I have my 100psi pump resticted for upstairs. The quad pulls 500 litres and if I dont hold back I'll be out by 2.30 ish.
(I hope to be line for one of your clampless poles plus autobrush at the end of Jan!)

Kevin I understand what our saying, but depending on how long your brush is on the glass on your higher up work would determine if you would save time having the water up higher. Lets say for arguments sake and for easy calculating that you take 2 minutes to clean a window with your flow on half rate or whatever you set it at. Now with your flow on full rate it may take you 1 minute to clean the window. So why would anyone want to reduce the flow? Without getting into the old usual debates about pencil and fan jets, and the rinse on, rinse off, why would you not have the power up all the time? Rinse while you clean, then a quick going over with the brush off for a final rinse if you feel you really need to.
You might be out of water by 2:30, but you could have all your work done.

Peter,
I agree, but not being able to turn off the flow between windows means I'm losing valuable water! I've tried omnipole pressure washer guns but they leaked after 6 months. And I wasnt happy with the loop hanging down. So your autobrush feels like the next step.

I hadn't thought about that Kevin, I sometimes forget about the wasted water.
