Hoses & Brush Heads

Investing in a high-quality water fed brush head makes a world of difference to your cleaning results and efficiency. The primary benefit is superior cleaning power. Premium brushes are designed with specific bristle types, like flagged bristles for gentler cleaning or boar's hair for aggressive scrubbing power, that dislodge stubborn dirt and grime more effectively. This means less effort for a better result!

Another huge plus is durability. A well-made brush head is built to withstand the demands of daily professional use, saving you money on frequent replacements. They are also designed to hold and distribute water perfectly across the glass, ensuring an effective rinse. A quality brush, paired with the correct technique, is essential for that perfect, spot-free finish your clients will love. To get the most out of your brush, you'll need a great pole to match, so be sure to check out our complete range of Water Fed Poles.

Choosing the right water fed brush head is all about matching the bristle type to the surface you're cleaning. For standard, everyday window cleaning, a brush with soft, flagged bristles is your best bet. The split ends are fantastic at gliding across the glass and gently agitating the dirt without being too aggressive. They are brilliant all-rounders for well-maintained surfaces.

If you're up against more stubborn grime, like on first-time cleans or dirty frames, you might want to step up to a brush with stiffer bristles or even a boar's hair brush. These provide more scrubbing power to dislodge baked-on dirt effectively. It's always a great idea to have a couple of different brush heads in your toolkit so you're prepared for any situation. Having the right tool for the job not only gives you a better result but also makes your work faster and easier!

While there's a good amount of cross-compatibility in the industry, you can't assume every hose head fitting will connect to every pole or reel. Most professional water fed pole systems use standardised fittings, which makes life much easier. However, it's always a brilliant idea to double-check the specific connection types your gear uses.

The most common connection for a water fed pole hose is a standard garden hose fitting (GHT) to connect to your purification system, and often a smaller, more specialised connector to attach to the pole's internal tubing. When you're buying a new hose or hose reel, make sure it has the right fittings to match both your pure water source and your pole. Getting this right from the start avoids any frustrating delays on-site and ensures you have a secure, leak-free connection for optimal water flow.

Even the best gear can have small hiccups. The most common issue you'll face with a water fed brush head is reduced or uneven water flow from the jets. Nine times out of ten, this is simply due to a small blockage from a tiny piece of dirt or grit. The fix is super easy! Just use a small pin or a jet poker to gently clear out the blocked hole. It’s a great idea to carry a safety pin in your wallet for this very reason, it’ll get you back to work in seconds!

Another issue can be streaking, but this is rarely the fault of the brush itself. Streaking is almost always a sign that your pure water isn't actually pure anymore, meaning it's time to check your filters. A quick check with your TDS meter will tell you if your DI resin needs replacing. Keeping your jets clear and your water pure will solve most problems you'll ever encounter!
