Fan jets against pencil jets

Just looking for feedback on the fan jets. How do they fair against pencil jets? Pros and cons would be apppreciated 

Following. I have quite a few hydrophobic glass on my round so I'm thinking about getting jets. Currently only have pencils.

Fan jets perfect for pvc cleaning and first cleans of glass imo.. pencil jets for maintenance ... I switch back and forth experimenting as I have 2 100 degree fan jets and two pencil jets in each of my brushes, just as matter or disconnecting the water supply tube 

Personally don’t like  fan jets I prefer pencil jets as you can get a better curtain of water running down the glass : also fan jets are less accurate and it’s easy to hit the walls with them putting dirt off the walls onto the glass if not careful 

What about 50% jets. Anyone out there have these?

I find the red 50° jets very brittle amd easy to break

Don't know if different plastic on the 100° but they have taken a battering and not broken yet

I use a lot more water with the red jets find have to turn the controller up, love the black jets seem to get a wide even fan of water without sacrificing high water usage.

i always used pencil jets but got some black fan jets and now got both in my brush i find the fan use more water but i like the spray on the glass but pencil better at getting water flow down the window so am back on pencil 

Love fan jets, they needed a higher flow than pencil jets on my system, but I find they sheet way better, especially the black ones. Does need to wait a split second to get the sheeting going, but then it rinses beautifully!

Out of all I've tried, Gardiners blacks are by far and away the best I've tried. They're quite noisey but it doesn't bother me.

I like the 100 degree jets on gardiners rinse bar, that extra bit of spacing gives a much wider spray, I can rinse most windows in a single downward pass. It’s quicker and you can use less water, I set my system to 35 and it’s more than adequate.

Its pencils for me, ive tried red fans and black fans, also the xline rinse bar, stick to what I know best PENCILS

Does anybody on here use 3mm pencil jets as opposed to the standard 2mm pencils?

I do mate . I couldn’t use 2mm jets. The rinse of 3mm jets is superior , it just floods the glass

Sound. How does it fair water usage wise? Use much more with the 3's? And does it make much difference on phobic glass?

Ive been using them for years now and From what I remember it was probably the same water but definitely speeded me up with rinsing and less chance of spotting. On phobic glass it’s slightlt better than 2s

Ok sorted. Cheers for that mate. Will order some in and give them a go [emoji106]
