Tucker poles came up with that idea many years ago using a mixer bottle with detergent tablets

As per a previous post. The Ionic commercial brushes have the option for fan or pencil. when using the fan option. the spray of water is aimed just above the brush, across the whole width of the brush too. They work extremely well, with little risk of over spray.
They are great for most types of work where the window is directly above you. No good for over extensions, conservatories etc because they weigh a bit more than what we are now used to.
I asked Gardiners a while ago if they had plans to have a similar set up and the answer was negative.
If I were you Peter, I would look at developing a "clip on" device for the goose neck/neck with a john guest fitting that would allow the user to unclip from his pencil T join and clip onto the overbrush fan. Would only take a few seconds, no added weight worth mentioning and they can carry on with whatever brush, neck they prefer to use.

My honest opinion is pointless & not at all required. It's like fixing something that isn't broken. ;)

I agree.  I rinse with the brush on for anything above ground floor work and it never causes any problems that I'm aware of.

Tom, wouldn't you think instead of changing manually there would be an advantage changing from the ground from through to overhead by a simple twist of the pole.  That way a certain window could have the benifits of overhead and through?  If I was to market the AquaTap in this way to benifit the people who rinse off the glass then a brush, or at least the fittings you described would go with it. But instead of lower the pole to change the pipe into the other fitting, surely a twist of the pole would be best?

Tosh I agree also, for people who rinse with the brush on the glass then there is nothing broken to fix.  This whole post is solely for people who rinse with the brush off the glass.

I'd be interested in it for large glass conny roofs where you seem to leave bits behind

Trouble is I twist my pole on every job - I use a swivel you see, so it might not work too well for me.
