Can’t be arsed to read the pages. I use an Ultimate Dupont that has gone out of shape a fair bit. How does the rinse bar reach over the bristles? Pics required I think!

It doesnt, not on the ultimate dupont. Too much splay, you need more appropriate brush.

I have two wide rinse bars , both have different angles on them.  One has three degree angle with the rinse jets and one is 0 degree. The one with 0 degree has to be fitted so it sits proud of the brush stock and the other with the three degree angle sits flush with the brush stock.  My ideal preference would be a 2 degree angle.  Depending on the angle and fitment determines wether the water hits the top of the bristles or slightly above .

i just use 2 pencil jets in my brushes for most work,sometimes 2 fans for solar panels,gutter/fascia jobs..... thats it......i dont know how i could be quicker than i am now tbh!at times i can clean 6 semi detached houses in an hour(10 mins a house)using an xtreme pole and brush,hot water,high flow and rinsing on or off(depending on the type of glass)......

my concern with a rinse bar is sometimes i dont want to rinse above the top seal of some windows(or even clean the top frame for that matter)because of dodgy rubber seals,with pencils i can rinse accurately to prevent runs,i reckon this would be harder to achieve with a rinse bar.....

I’m sure my 35cm is 2 degrees it kind Of sits between high and low pressure rinse bar.

Been using mine for the first time today with and without a swivel

Different, not sure if I were held say better.

Swivel is weird, it's horrible on sills but I quite like it on the glass.

Rinse bar, definitely easier on upstairs windows not having to lift the brush off the glass.....downstairs windows, if they are below waist height or patio doors it's awkward as the way the rinse bar works is to keep the brush horizontal....this means having to with angle the brush head up or stand at the side and use the swivel....not convinced on down stairs windows I think I preferred rinsing off as on downstairs I always scrub about 45 degree angle.

Overall I think it's good, better certainly on upstairs windows yes downstairs um maybe .

I think I need to try it more.

I dont use a swivel.
Downstairs windows ie patio door, I stand to the side and work withthe brush  sidewards as in the brush is vertical   [   compared to landscape <>  method.
Doesnt pose a problem and dries perfectly fine. Saying that though, i do use a good flow so its not trickling. Been doing it this way for quite a while now.

Swivel horrible on sills............What I do is when I get to the sills, I tilt the brush slightly at an angle so it's a third over the sill edge and two thirds remaining on the sill and slide along, might find it easier for you that way. Downstairs windows are easier to clean standing further back than normal with a rinse bar but adjust the brush head to angle higher so it covers ground level easier

that is exactly how I clean the sill I don’t find it awkward just comes natural after a while, patio doors etc once again adjust the brush and face the door I never end down unless I really have too.

Yeh with sills it's probably a technique thing I'm used to cleaning without a swivel. When you push the brush into the sill with a swivel it wants to move and swivel all over the shop. Just need practice.

As for downstairs yes you have to step right back and angle the brush up a lot,it's a weird method. Much easier standing to the side.

I'll try it for a full week next week.

To be honest swivel or no swivel, rinse bar or no rinse bar I could work with both....it's just what you get used to I don't think there's much in it either way
