SIMPLE MODIFICATION ALLOWS WATER FED POLE BRUSH SWIVEL EASIER
« on: February 20, 2015, 03:02:51 am »
Many WFP brushes have some sort of swivel on them.
This simple modification will allow you to have full uses of the brush swivel. All you need is a cable/ zip tie and duck tape.

Sorry but I can't really see what improvement that gives. The cable tie isn't tying anything it's just wrapped round the hose or is it me?

If you have a swivel on your poles as they have now so to able to swivel your brush.
The movement is restricted because or the hose / tubing pulling on it.
The cable tires makes it so you can put slack at the brush end of the pole.
Allowing it to swivel freely. :)

He "clearly" explains in the video exactly what the cable tie is for. I use one myself just like that.

+1 it also helps prevent the pole hose being accidentally pulled out of the push fit connector as my pole hose just comes out through the resi neck on the slx/extreme.

Know there people that are sceptical out there. ::)roll
It’s too easy. LOL. :o
Only takes a small cable/zip tie 10 seconds of your time to see if it works or not.  ;)

Which way does it pull out? From the Brush T connector or the straight connector inside the pole?

Whichever it pulls out of, fitting the locking red clip (supplied as standard on the brush T) should cure the hose pulling out of the connector.

My locking clips always vanish for some reason.
 I have the zip tie on my hose too to stop the connector jamming up against the resineck.

Not to sure if everyone understands why we put the cable/zip tie around the tube/hose.
It is there so when you have a brush that has a swivel movement on it.
The swivel movement is restricted because the tube/hose is pulling on the brush.
Having cable/zip tie on allows you to adjust so to have enough slack so the swivel moves more freely.
Although it would also stop the tubbing slipping though say when changing brushes.
Also in video where hose connected T section have never had the hose come off or slip off.

Think you've hit caps lock without noticing.






Perhaps a few months ago.
