The superlight is is definately lighter than the salmon. Just weighed mine and its 220g.

There seems to be quite a difference in the weights mentioned.  Is the brush your talking about the Bentley type brush, or the one with the white bristles?  The Salmon brush has a few different designs.

It's these brushes. :)

Yes Tim that's the brush I adapted to an Autobush and weighed while I was at it, and it was definitely a touch heavier than the Salmon brush.  I must have got the weight of mines wrong today, I will weigh it tomorrow.

Yes its definately the super light not the bentley. It has had quite a bit of use (but no modification) so its probably lost a a little bit of weight, but my scales say 220g

I had two autobrush swiches and both broke, they either wouldn't turn the water on or wouldn't turn it off, I did away with it in the end and now use a trigger, as Peter says though the pole hose is a pain getting caught on things

How long ago was that Rich?  A while ago I was getting quite a few problems with switches, but since changing the position of the switch on the brush, and the metal toggles instead of the plastic ones, I seem to have a very reliable product now.  They would have been under guarantee if you had them less than a year, and you could have sent them back for repair or replacement.

I did get a replacement from you Peter, but sadly it went the same way as the 1st one. The stuff I got from you was purchased January 2008. The switch was the metal toggle type too.

I take it you had the 15" with the left to right switch motion?  The toggles were more exposed on these, and easier damaged if the toggle took a hit.

For anyone who is interested the 11" Autobrush complete with angle joint and all connectors to pole hose is 478g.  And for those of you familiar with the old style 15" Autobrush that switched from left to right, the weight of that one complete is 732g, so quite a considerable difference.  I also weighed a 10" oval shaped Vikan with alloy goose neck and it came in at 766g.

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

(The switch mechanism adds about 150 grams to the brush

The switch mechanism now only adds 58g.
