no hydro  think that was leegls

[Pope vader]

i am not complaining about it alex, all my gear except tank and reel is gardiners, i trust what you sell, the only thing i dont like is the hose too soft for me, 

the extreme is about 6 months old and gets used at least 3-4 days a week on about 25 houses a day, so they get some use  i am happy with it,

As long as you're happy  
We have some new more robust pole hose coming soon - drop me an email in a few weeks and I can sort some out for your pole so you can see if you prefer it.

are you the same guy who posted a picture of a battered extreme some while back that resembled a squashed spider?

That was me me me me me me

Alex , which is the best one for rinsing on the glass?

[SPE]

How old is that brush  It looks knackery already 

just what I was thinking.
Do hope I've made the right choice ordered one yesterday !

[dazmond]

i cant believe the state of that brush after 1 day!!

best brush i have is the SL DT FLOCKED.gets used every day.still in pretty good shape after 8 months.

I find the bristles on the soft black extreme to soft to stand up to regular use, it's a good brush, but I only use it for certain jobs. The White extreme has far better wearing bristles. When I eventually get the sill brush I will go for the medium White so that I know the brush will last a reasonable amount of time.

That's what I use. My concern with the cill brush is they are monofilament and have less bristles to contact the glass so, I am guessing the scrubbing results would be inferior with the cill brush.

Sorry for the delay in replying - been away all day.

They are all suitable for rinsing on the glass, due to mono-filament bristles, but the medium is probably the best.

Interestingly I find that the DT Sill soft (black) scrubs better than the SL DT Flocked and with less effort.

Thanks Alex, will order one in the near future

That would be me I think.

[davids3511]

Sorry, just noticed Lee had one too.

I got one delivered yesterday, but ive sent it back as i dont think its for me    - nothing wrong with the brush but i just found the water jets are set to high, even if id have put a 90 degree socket on it the water flow would still be too high 4 what im used to, as i like to tilt the brush slightly sideways for rinsing and with the vikan the jets are in the middle so i can see where the flow is going. Just a idea for alex, maybe a middle jet setting may help certain guys who have been used to the vikan cleaning method as i reckon this would be PERFECT!, i was thinking of getting the drill out because i really wanted to keep this brush (very light), but it would of been v easy to mess up the angle so i didnt chance it.

Hi Mac

Obviously brush preference is a very individual thing, what suits one doesn't suit another.

The jets have been sited where they are as we felt during development that this placement gave far better rinsing particularly when rinsing on the glass. The jet of water will come out and hit the glass at about 5-6cm below the top of the bristles which is still well within the bristle footprint, but high enough for a good rinse. We have actually had very positive comments about this placement from our testers who have been working with them for the last couple of months -  some of these chaps are very fussy in what they like (1 who has previously been a Vikan Sill brush user).

The only time this could cause an issue is if the brush is used at the wrong angle. With a 90° brush socket fitted the angle adapter needs to be set at 45° to get the right angle of brush on to the window pane. If using a carbon gooseneck (which in my opinion works much better with this brush) it is already at the 45° angle. This ensures that the jets are hitting the window perpendicularly.

when i changed the 90 to a 45  the brush sat better

If you were using it with a G-Fit then the 45° socket would be the one to use. Of course you can use it with a 45° socket and an adjustable angle adapter - you would need to have it set at a different angle though.
