Pull the pipe off the  jet, as I often get a bit of grit or leaf in the pipe but it will not go through the jet . But stops the flow to the jet.

Poke a piece of wire through to dislodge particle and disconnect Y piece to push it out of pipe.

Yes you've got some grit in it, remedy as above, but....

Ain't them tee peices rubbish.Because it rained i was making a few daytime calls that i don't normaly a get chance too.One was to kirsty for a couple of brushes.Supa lite mono with fitted 40 fans.

I said by the way your tee peices are a really cheap way of presenting an otherwise great brush.I use some black things that are a push fit, they are obviously a much better option.She said she would pass my comments on to her technical advisor.I  wonder who that is?

Anyway, anyone who knows what i'm talking about and and agrees or has a link or a picture help me out.

I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

Sort of, but maybe not.They do look similar to the ones i use, which take the pole hose (6mm i think) and then 6mm out to the brushes.Gardiners use stupid 3mm id .The ones in the link may be for this thinner tubing.

But if they are the right ones they are certainly worth getting.

I suppose they use the 'stupid' diameter pipe to fit the 'stupid' pencil jets?  ;D

Exactly my thoughts.How annoying to get wet all of the time because of some numbskulls stupidity. When you clean through railing for juliets etc the brush and attached hose takes a right beating.Over time less robust designs leak.When it's cold we get freezing hands.Thanks Alex you saved about thirty pence.

About three years from now you'll say heh what a great idea, if only i'd listened to that advanced slumpbuster guy i wouldn't have arithritus in my hands, and piles.

WW the 6mm fit on mine (fans)

Brush Fetish  - very sad. Don't ask why they prefer the flocked ones, you really don't want to know. ;)
