Auto-Brush... any good?
« on: April 07, 2009, 10:27:01 pm »
I've been considering getting an auto-brush, as I'm fed up with fiddly taps! Does anybody use one, and if so what do you think of them? I don't want to fork out £60 on one if they are no good! Thanks  :)

Hi Groundhog,you can adapt it to any brush i believe now which is better as the 15" brush it used to come with you`d hate.

I had one,... it was good when I had a smaller tank, defo saves a lot of water.

To be honest though the weight put me off (The switch mechanism adds about 150 grams to the brush), so when \i got a bigger tank and RO I just gave it to a mate who was starting up.
The salmon brush that is supplied as standard is weighty too,.. I transferred the switch onto a bentley type diy brush after a few months of struggling with the salmon one!

it can be added to any of the super lite brushes to make up for the weight, but to be honest, i take it of weekly for maintainance and its not that heavy, i found away round this issue, but as its peters idea, its only fair not to disclose it,

Numatic George trigger on the pole is infinitely better.

I totally agree with you, I've used one ever since i started to use wfp 3 1/2 years, and wouldn't use anything else.

I don't really find the weight an issue at all and it's certainly a lot easier than using an in line tap.

I've never used an 'autobrush', so I can't comment on that.

However, I have 'Numatic' triggers on 4 poles. They have all been trouble-free and maintenance-free and have saved me 'loads' of water.

The ease of the 'on/off' action is the main 'plus', allowing you to 'scrub' without the continuous flow of water (which can sometimes be wasteful).

Just to let everyone know I now use a lighter Salmon brush as standard for the Autobrush, it is now the lightest professional brush on the market that I know of. It also makes the Autobrush a little cheaper.

Mike triggers can be OK if you want to use many different sizes of poles instead of one pole.  Personally I wouldn't want to be swapping poles over, and wasting time doing so.

What do you mean Peter? I use one pole, one trigger for all my jobs?

What is the weight of the salmon brush without the Autobrush assembly?

Simple, use some zipties, it's not elegant, but in lack of a better solution it works very well.

... or a 'Jubilee clip'  (There is a slot in the base of the trigger assembly).
