Trust in the method, avoid Faceache, both will save you in both wasted faff time and money.
That's no way to talk about Nathan.
Poor old Nathan, the rest of us have went lighter, reduced rinsing to a minimum and he's still wibbling on about bricks with six jets, thing is can we really blame Faceache for Nathan. lol

ive got to agree with sean for once! ;D...nathans set up would be terrible for most of us.....there is absolutely no need for such a large heavy brush and a holster and tap(and the loop that goes with it!).......itll just make your work harder than it needs to be as theres  far better,easier ways to use a water fed pole these days......
price higher/work harder!

This is where I have to disagree.  14 inch brushes are great and you lot like really light brushes and thats fine. However my brush isnt a brick and weighs no where near the likes of vikan etc, so stop being over dramatical about it guys.

You lot drag your hose on the floor, and often talk about connectors breaking, standing on them or snagging on corners etc.  I have no such restrictions.    You have to coil the pole hose to walk to the next job or to make sure its by your feet etc for the pole to extend.
I simpley carry my pole and walk to the next job as my hose follows.
Yes the univalve is great, I even use one on the other pole, but that has its own unique ways of getting used to it, ie holding pole n pulling hose.  All i do is drop arm and quickly swing arm up

I’m the opposite to Nathan,

Literally just me, an xtreme pole and xtreme brush, and my one shot round my neck to turn the water on and off. That’s it.

I’ve never needed anything else.

The longer you do the job, the more efficient you get. As others have said, van placement etc etc. The simple things.

Nathan probably looks like he’s about to head off to war with standard military equipment shoved round his waist, a massive rucksack full of window cleaning supplies, a giant brush with 44,000 John guest fittings on it and trolley system tied to his waist, dragging along as a ‘just in case I need it’.

Just kidding Nathan, 😁

We all work differently, I’m minimalist, some are the opposite and buy/use anything and everything they can get their hands on.

Haha  ;D
I like the idea of the one shot, but not the big medallion fob or i believe they have an app now or is that another system (or ive made it up 🤷‍♂️). Especially since the range on the electric reel is good.

I'm with Nathan on the tap and holster. I don't use a flow controller either.
It's a game of three halves!

You'll end up with his seconds, Malc.
