Three water fed window cleaning problems

[smearclear]

Any one got a view on what's the best RECTUS 21 Coupling,. My rectus 21 always seem to leak or malfunction after a few weeks.

Also a split charger what's the best and a good price.

One more also the best membrane 40/40 filter   Should i have done three separate posts  Thanks Carl

Lots of rectus 21 copies about most are good, if they only last weks id look at how your treating them.

Split charge depends on your van, if its new youll need a bat 2 bat ratjer than split relay as the alternator wont charge the 2nd battery.

Lee martin @ bladeright is my goto for all my water producing equipment, not the cheapest but his after sales service is 2nd to none ive found.

Get yourself down to cleaning expo on Saturday, looks like theres alot of bargains to be had during the show.

After a few months my fitting begin to stick so I spray WD40 in them.

The very best Rectus 21KA tema fittings are made by Parker 

The window cleaning industry is saturated with cloned cheap copies which do not seat correctly and the release collars fail very quickly 

I've had the same fittings for years and not had any issues at all 

Spraying wd40 isn't the best method of maintenance and ptfe spray is better as oil will contaminate the rubber hose

Parker are the best Rectus 21 fitting , give them a spray with wd40 if they are sticking this helps a lot and makes them last much longer . 

 

[doug atkinson]

I agree Parker fittings is what we sell and local customers will but other fittings then come back and stick to Parker. 
 

I’ve seen a number of type 21 fittings but when you put them together with a Parker fitting you can see the quality a mile off.

I get mine from Parker and they normally have stamped Parker on them but have just looked at the new batch and just says made in Germany.

wd 40 thanks sounds good idear.

I found it mediocre or to be bluntly it's ?

3 in One oil is what you want 2-3 tiny drops on the ball bearings inside the fitting is spot on.

I found we were changing the rectus 21 fittings every couple of weeks , since giving them a spray with WD40 once a week they have lasted around 4 months guessing any oil lubricant should also do the same job , always used it when I worked in the garage and found it was ok

I find the oil a great deal better, also much better for oiling the rollers under the van although more awkward than using a spray

Parker are definitely the best. If you look for the recprotec that covers these fittings, they last much longer. I’ve had mine on now for a good while and they are still ok. I’m going to spray mine then, I like to get my monies worth?. 
best membrane axeon hf4 or 5 depending on your pressure.
