My advice....

Hose Reel with Wheels and 100 Metres of 8mm Hose.

Rectus 21 connectors (Male on pole hose and female on reel hose)

22ft pole - Unger N Litre Brush Head - Pencil Jets....

maybe think about safety cones, something to hold your pole's in the van, handheld TDS Meter, misc spare's.....

I assume that system has a 100 psi pump?

I rate the N lite brush, not talking about the old Unger heads which are similar to Vikan..  I'm talking about the new lightweight double trim brush, movable jets. Good brush.

Yes RO is highly advised if your tap water ppm is higher than 80ish ppm.

you want 6mm microbore as its a lot more managable/lighter and gardiner supalite or extreme brushes.

as mike doesnt work day in/day out poling windows for a living i would ignore his advice about brushes and hose.

a full carbon pole would help as well.


dont make the job harder than it needs to be.using the lightest equipment helps a lot with day to day strain.
price higher/work harder!
