Title: Vikan brush 16"
Post by: DavidX on January 21, 2009, 02:57:53 pm: I bought a 42ft carbon facelift fibre waterfed pole from cleantech years ago. I was hoping if anyone know if I could get a Vikan brush to try on my 42ft carbon facelift fibre waterfed pole or not.

Don't want to buy a Vikan brush if i can't use it

Thanks

David

Yeah I am using Facelift brush and it can get heavy if I am cleaning 4 storeys high.

I will have alook at Superlite brush.

david wood window cleaning said cleantech sell a adaptor, cleantech also sell the jets and bits of pipe and the pipe T connections, its easy enough to build your own brush, you only need a drill, so you can build a 4 jet brush

So you can use the Superlite brush on the facelift poles then?
