I have taken advice from Pete and changed from pencil jets to fan jets in my brushes. My first impressions are that they do a much better job (wetting the glass better during cleaning and rinsing the glass better as well – especially on ‘phobic’ glass).

I have taken advice from macmac and moved the jets from their original position so that they are now only 2” from each end of the brush (This involved removing 6 tufts of bristles - 3 on each side – from the centre row). This has enabled the resultant water spray to cover the full width of the brush. I think it has made the washing and rinsing even better.

I then read that M-CLEAN improvised an ‘over-the-brush’ fan spray years ago.

I’ve also just watched the video of Aquatec’s AUTOBRUSH which appears to show it having a fantastic ‘over-the-brush’ spray.

‘Over-the-brush’ sprays have got to be the answer to anyone’s concerns about rinsing – whether ‘on’ the glass or ‘off’.

Does anyone manufacture a brush already fitted with ‘over-the-brush’ jets (fan or pencil)?
Has anyone improvised one?
Can the AUTOBRUSH be used/adapted/manufactured without the switch assembly so that it still operates as an ‘over-the-brush’ spray but with water flow controlled by a trigger assembly on the pole?
(I obviously need to give Aquatec a ring)

Anyone?

The simple answer is that what you are describing is everything that our adapted brushes are.

I will take a photo later and send it to a willing " uploader" as I cannot upload photos

Sorry to but in, One of mine is an Autobrush fitted on the bottom and 4 jets Ott. All my others have been Ott  for 10 years - but pencils for rinsing on.Nobody makes them except yourself.

Jeff

Am I wrong about Aquatec, then?  Sorry if I've got them mixed up with you.

Not quite sure what you mean when you say "One of mine is an Autobrush fitted on the bottom and 4 jets Ott"   Can you direct me to a link for a picture/specification?

Also - "Nobody makes them except yourself"    Does this mean that you have made them for your own use but that you do not manufacture for retail?

Thanks

There are four photos in total.

I took 2 pictures of a brass assembly and two photos on a downstairs brush - plastic assembly. I think it was about 45000kbs???

Just a bit of history on the two different assemblies.

The brass fan spray is off a 6 year old carpet cleaning wand and has been on a heckuva lot of brushes in the last four years.

The plastic ones similarly have seen life on a lot more than one brush so they are starting to look a bit tired.

When against the glass they may over spray sideways (but that doesn't matter - there is not a massive amount of overspray).

When you are spraying near the top of the glass and brick it is all about technique. We never had a problem with overspray - even at 15 metres!!

And just to add that both assemblies throw out a very thin fan spray that when on the glass is the width of the brush head. Much easier to mange than you might think
