tri-jet brush with short video.

Last week I converted a gardiner's compact brush from 2 jets to 3 jets.

All 2 mm bore, today I got to use it and its pretty good. Gives plenty enough flow and fills the gap that gets left when using the standard 2 jets.

When rinsing narrow windows all you have to do is pull down to rinse, when rinsing windows that are roughly twice the width of the brush its just a couple of straight pulls down for rinsing. It gives roughly an 8-10" "bar" of water across the glass.

I know some people will think its a bit sad messing around with jets....maybe it is......but it made today that little bit more interesting for me.

Looking good, in the summer you could disconnect middle one to shower yourself to keep cool

looks good extra water probably means your getting a better rinse.Think I will try this on my spare brush.What about a 100 degree fan jet on middle jet.

not a huge fan of fan jets, I guess I just don't know how to use them.

I  like the control you get with pencils, with this tri-jet setup because I can go full flow and get just the right amount of pressure through the 3 jets. around the same as I do with 2 jets on 3/4 power which is my preferred setting. So I am getting more water on the glass without all the over spray and loss of precision.

looks like a 4 way pneumatic hose connector available on ebay.

I use 4x2 mm pencils on my brushes when not using fans

3 pencils will give me better flow at lower settings

Brilliant idea! Might mod mine one day.
