Understanding
Water Fed Brushes
Let's discuss the difference between pencil and fan jets as well as some brush tips and important terms.
Every water fed pole brush come with a set of jets, which allow water to spray onto the glass. Brushes can either come equipped with single jets or dual jets. A brush with single jets only has one pair of jets where a brush with dual jets has two pairs of jets. Makes sense, right? Now for the difference between the two. Pencil jets emit a small, circular jet of water while Fan jets emit a fine mist of water over a larger area. Depending on your application one may be more suitable than the other but both certainly have their advantages.
We highly encourage our customers to take proper care of their water fed brushes which will extend the life and performance of it. First, be sure to keep your brush clean. Leave your brush heads soaking in pure water overnight or between jobs. You should also consider the storage of your brushes. Consider storing your spare brushes in a toolbox, bucket, or other containment when not in use. It is best to make sure that they are laying flat with nothing pressing against the bristles. This ensures that the bristles do not get damaged.
There are two important terms to keep in mind when determining which brush to use to clean glass: Hydrophilic Glass and Hydrophobic Glass. Hydrophilic surfaces tend to become wet very easily and can maintain that wetness longer. Water will sheet on the glass and will come clean easily. Hydrophobic Glass, on the other hand, directly translates to “Fear of water”. Bad spotting is more likely with this type of glass. Water will bead and run off very quickly on these types of surfaces. Use fan jets on hydrophobic glass for more reliable rinse coverage.
