Recently done a little experiment with regards to my jets/rinsebar window cleaning only no FSG etc.
2 weeks with 100 degree fans.
2 weeks with 35cm rinsebar.
2 weeks with 2mm pencils.
1 day with 3mm pencils (used too much water).
My conclusion is the 100 degree saves water you really needed to rinse on the glass uses less water.
Rinsebar works well on most windows but not on sash windows plus it adds weight to your set up.
2mm pencils work well on all windows and if you prefer to rinse off the glass these are better than 100 degree fans.
3mm jets great but you must be able to carry plently of water people using smaller tank/backpack will use their water up to quickly.
1.4mm pencils (35cm brushes only) my preferred choice of set up for approx 80% of my work uses the same amount of water s 2mm pencils jets.
I personally like all the above as originally when I started window cleaning it was 2mm pencils and then used the 100 degree fans for a couple of years after they were released, and then the rinsebar when that was released, but took that off the rinsebar purely to save weight.
I now personally use mainly 2mm pencils for 26cm brushes and 4 x 1.4mm for 35cm brushes most of the time when cleaning windows.
Hope this helps someone thinking of maybe trying out a different option, please understand these are my opinions only and I advise everyone to try out all options to find out what’s best suited for their technique for themselves.
