Jeff Im not getting the first pic, the second one im very impressed with, do any suppliers sell this type of design?

Im going to try converting a brush to a similar spec, is it a important to have your flow set exactly right for the jets to hit above the brush?

Were did you get them little taps from? do you have to buy a set of irrigation kit, or can you buy all the bits seperate from any decent garden center?

How do you split one tube into four? I see you have nifty little elbows etc in place, can I go for a Y piece followed by two more?

I can see this being really benifcial with regards to seeing the jet clean right into the top bit of glass and as you say on sash windows to get right under that center bit. And the jets on the outside getting right into the edges.

Look foward to your results on the fan sprays, I to might post my pics of the brush Im going to convert, following Jeffs advise.

Kind Regards
Alex

i hope jeff dont mind me answering this question, im bored and looking for things to reply to (and i know about the setup as Jeff helped me with mine)

just pop to a big garden center that stocks the micro range, loads of fittings, about 3 quid a pack of 6 or 8 (if my memory is correct)

Q is it a important to have your flow set exactly right for the jets to hit above the brush?
A yes I use a low pressure sytem throughout(all the joints just push fit together) I adjust/balance the flow I need with two micro taps, one near the pump, one at the brush. I also use a pump bypass with a tap.
Q How do you split one tube into four? I see you have nifty little elbows etc in place, can I go for a Y piece followed by two more?
A. With that brush I use 3 "T" pieces or as you said you could use a "Y" from the main supply.

Q Look foward to your results on the fan sprays
A Hoselock have a very basic horizontal fan but as I use low pressure, it wouldnt work.
Heres a link to the complete thread if its allowed ?

Nobody makes anything like it yet- thats why I made my own, notice the brush itself will swivel around the pole using the torquing collar.

I rinse off the glass. I've only just started with pure water so I haven't perfected any technique yet. I use the Salmon brush, which does hols a FEW dirt particles, so if I touch the glass with it after brushing frames etc, then when I lift off, I can actually see the dirt particles left behind on the glass. Thats why i rinse with brush off.
