Here’s some Gardiner kit I’ve fitted to a Tucker. The bar with fan jets is OK but much slower than the new Hydroblade on my Constructors. Now if you fitted a full spray bar in the same way? ...you’d have created a universal spray bar.

What do you think of the Constructors mate?
I’ve been sold on them since I started testing the original prototype 18 months ago. No doubt you are aware of some of the early irritations that tended to overshadow a rather unique concept. The current ones with the new green rinsebar are super quick and efficient if used as recommended. That is using Side2Side pivot angling end cap up into the corners and run on an angle along the top of the glass. Now keep in mind I’m in New Zealand and use them on commercial and our residential tends to have large modern glass so the speed factor is substantial. On older homes with smaller windows I tend to break out the Tecbuk (fitted with pivot). There is a new prototype floating around the UK somewhere that I believe will be ideal for you guys. Smaller, lighter and has the ability to slide an auxiliary track into the bottom to convert it to a sill brush. End caps have also been redesigned. Maybe one of the guys on here has had a play with it? Julian Pierce, Jim Allen?

 
I would love to try one out but not east got over this neck of the woods, hoping it get a stocked here soon. Looks like a great brush..what is the weight like?

Certainly heavier than you’ll be used to Daniel but I’ve always found that the extra weight hasn’t been an issue. The spray bar combined with pivot and on glass rinse means I spend much less time on the glass. It really will depend on your route whether the extra weight is a dealbreaker for you. As I said above the goal with the new prototype is to create a really lightweight and nimble Constructor that is suitable for all glass in the UK market. As for availability? Doesn’t David Kemp of Vision (Jigsaw Innovations) stock them?

The extra weight wouldn't be too much of an issue for me. I do mostly commercial work with large panes of glass so a good scrub and quick rinse would be ideal for me. Just checked jigsaw site and only brush I can see is a standard tucker brush.

Try the bissell rinse bar. It only cost a few quid and about 5 minutes to fit. They work best with every other hole blocked off.

I have ordered one similar from Gardiner. Over spray bar although I like the coverage on the bissell. You find it works well for rinsing? I'm looking for this for large panes of commercial work.

Green I use less water with a rinse bar but what would I know. You're the expert on everything.
