Jets

Inexperienced new wfp user question..

Pencil jets v fan jets

Is it personal preference or are there certain times when one is better than other.

Great to here different opinions

Personal preference in my opinion. I started with pencil jets then changed to fan jets after a year, still using fan jets but have often thought about trying pencils again to see if I’m missing out. I find fan jets allow you to wince faster

Fan jets are great for cleaning the fsg when spraying degreaser on them.

I prefer pencil jets. 

GArdiner 100 degree fan jets for everything now.

Unfortunately only you can answer this question; everyones preference is different. 

Buy some fan jets and fit them yourself, cheap to buy and easy to fit, then you can compare the difference.

For me, I use pencil jets for window cleaning and fan jets for soffit and gutter work, or soft washing. 

It is a personal thing...have fun!

I've found fan jets and a flocked brush are ace for Gutters etc. I happen to use them for leaded windows too but thats just because the only flocked brush I own.

I find that the fan jets blast water everywhere, thinking back to when i was learning there was a lot of talk about rinsing close to the glass in order to avoid splashes which can lead to spotting. It seems impossible to rinse close enough to avoid splashes using fan jets.
