I got a new square-headed vikan brush today, with fan-jets; from one of the web suppliers.

One of the nozzles squirts 3 inches higher than the other  that aint right surely?
At first it was squirting into the brushfibres, until I trimmed them down, now its more dodgy than before. How are you meant to rinse the glass without disturbing too much on the frame like that?

You will have trouble with fans and flocked brushes unless you give it a real good trimming,i did tell you to get a salmon brush didn`t i.If you pull the brush back off of the glass then yes water will splay over the frame,but the idea with them is that you can rinse on the glass better or holding the brush say a couple of inches off of it therefore the water will stay where it should on the glass,go onto  www.window-tools.com and view the autobrush video,that`s the kind of fan your looking for.He sells those brushes ie salmon in a smaller version 12",get him to fan it and test it so it works he uses them all the time and with those salmon brushes rinsing on is a breeze.

What I meant was one of the fans was spraying INTO the bristles, totally obliterating the jet, flocked/mono or anything else its irrelevant when the jet on one side is level and the other side its going into the bristles and then when theyre trimmed its 3 inches higher.

You need to speak to who you got it off of then,i had to send 1 back today as it wasn`t working right but it was from someone else not the supplier mentioned in previous post.

i had a cleantech brush that done this, 1 fan spray in the air, so i got a screwdriver and put it in the slot of the fan and turned it around, i dont know if you can do it with the vikan but it worked on the cleantech

[xxmattyxx]

Yea I will, ta.

What is a salmon anyway?? 

[NWH]

Salmon is just the make but they are normally crinkled monofilament and hold no dirt or bits in the bristles,ideal if you want to work quicker.

[xxmattyxx]

Rightie, ta.

I'm in a minority, but I prefer the one you've got Matt.

sending the brush back will cost time+money
if screwing dont work-
take jet out    bore it out very slightly with drill
start the pump  see where it sqirts get the angle right   hold it just there  jam in slivers of sthing
araldite it

you should also check the Y piece before the brush to check there isn't any debris blocking the tube.

better stil get pencils seriosly tho i think you can turn fan jets (THINK) where did brush come from ? bit crap if it turns up like that , only brushes i bought with jets fitted came from gardiners and cleantech ,if i want jets spraying all over i can do that at home

[NWH]

You can turn the jets with a thin edged flat blade screwdriver.

[L.J.Thorpe]

just for record pre jetted brushes from both gardiners and cleantech were fine no probs at all

[xxmattyxx]

Turning the jet once make any difference, its like it is because of the angle of the hole that the dodgy jet is fitted in, must be a Monday morning job, the hole is ped, at an angle, shot, kapput, la la, doo lally.

I'll call 'em tomorrow morning, see what they offer.

How do you take jets out anyway, they all seem rather solid, is it a hammer jobbie, or hammer and bit of wood to protect the jet or mole-grips or what?

Not saying who sold it to you but i bet it was a frenchman.

Nope, but he had an accent 

[NWH]

Turn the brush up side down,put a xhead screwdriver against the jet and hammer them out carefully.
