Hi Macc

i only used it for a short period of time today but i reckon ive had a 25% saving of water. Im sure the more i use the brush and the handling of it the more water i will save.

I am really pleased with the brush the quality is excellent and unlike a lot of things it actually does what it is supposed to.  Saving me more water will enable me to make more money throughout the day 8)

regards

Brett

Whatever type of sytem/brush you have, you will save water and also a little T I M E by not having to rush  back and to.
I am sure one day you will all have one.
Cant wait for his next new gizzmo.

Hi everyone

I cant comment on any other brush cause the autobrush is the only brush I've ever used but yesterday i cleaned my biggest contract which is a retirement complex that has 34 apartments in 1 block with ground ,1st and 2nd floor windows & 18 cottages i used just over 250 Lt's of water, i took 500 Lt's expecting to use all of it so was very happy ;D

It normally take 2 days doing it trad but i completed it ALL IN 1 so once again very happy ;D

Was the first time I'd cleaned this complex with wfp and the windows came up great even 2nd floor had loads of great comments so in all a good day and everyone's HAPPY ;D

Regards

How much does the auto brush cost?

How much does his normal brush cost?

Do his brushes fit other poles?

Looked around the web site but cant find any prices or info on bush heads.

I want to try something diffrent to the vikan brush.

Tricky one that, and something I wished I could answer.  It really depends on quite a lot of different things, such as, how many litres a minute you use, how quick a worker you are, how far apart the windows are, what you use just now to control your water, and what type of building you are cleaning.  Quite a lot to consider.  It will save water though.

Maybe in a couple of months when there is a lot more users we could run a poll to see what the average water savings are.

is this auto brush just a tap, for turning water off.
why not just fit a tap at bottom of the pole.
the taps in your hand while you are working.
you dont need to look at it to turn your water of.
its so natural to me to have the tap at hand,
i wish the poles came with a tap. or on off valve.

Two reasons.  Firstly you would need a tap on all your poles, and you can't add and take away sections. Secondly you have a lot of loose hose flapping about when your pole is not fully extended.  If you use an 18 foot pole closed, you would have 12 foot of loose hose flapping about getting caught on everything.  That is why poles don't come with a tap fitted.

You may get used to doing it your way but it is more time consuming, and more hassle than a valve on the brush.

12 foot of hose doubled up is 6 foot. 0nly 3 foot of that is on the floor. it has never been a problem. you may be right tho. i have allways worked this way so i get used to it. its a lot quicker than bending a pipe or pulling your hose of. or going back to the van to turn water off. and its only £3.00 for a tap. i would like a try with your auto brush tho. it looks good.
