If you use a backpack for example only, setting 2 on it is the perfect flow rate for cleaning window`s,the backpack is 16-17ltrs and on setting 2 it should last 23-25mins on constant use.So if what your saying is right about how much water you used on your house,you have to higher flow rate.That`s the advantage of a varistream it enables you to use less water when needed.

i am not sure if the jets are too thick as they were a poast on this brush not so log bach the ionic one from ebay

[Alex Gardiner]

Hi m.b.s

The problem will be the jets on your brush.  They are most probably 3 mm jets which use at least 50-60% more water per minute than 2 mm jets which is why we always fit 2 mm jets as standard to all our brushes. 

As to getting a good result, you will need several weeks of practice before you can guarantee your quality.  Until then, you will have to check every window several times to ensure a good result.  After a couple of months you will be twice as quick and have a quarter of the problems but it is not as easy as it looks to start with.  Don't worry, you are only experiencing what everyone else experienced at first.  Keep on cleaning your own windows and friends and relatives, and it will get easier.

heers alex how much are the 2mm jets and how do i fit them

[Alex Gardiner]

They are £3 for a pair and you will need a 'Y' piece to match them (£1.05). You will need to drill two new holes in your brush head (beside your current ones).  They will need to be 4.8 mm diameter and then the new jets will simply hammer in and the jet hose and Y piece will push fit on.  Makes a world of difference.

[m.b.s.]

are these on your site also what size hose to fit on y pice and what size y pice

[Alex Gardiner]

They are all on our website under Brushes (in the Water Fed Pole Shop section).  The jets come with the right size hose.

what light brush would you recomend for domestic use not the vikan as i have herd they are heavy preferably rectangle cheers

[Alex Gardiner]

The lightest brush I know of is the Bentley brush which you can buy and adapt from Tescos or we supply them jetted.  They are called Super-Lite brush on our website.  We have a new brush coming out very soon which will replace this.

[m.b.s.]

do you know how long also can you email me when they come in with price cheers

[Alex Gardiner]

Not sure how long and they will be posted on our website when they are ready for sale.

ive tried some 5mm alluminuim tubing from b&q inside diameter of 1.5 mm perfect for me but cant comment on others who have replied as i used to use 3mm inside diameter jets and to be honest i thought they were crap but its each to there own good luck and let us no how you go on
