Hey everyone! I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on what brushes are best and if there are any specific rinse bars or set ups you guys use with you brush to rinse better than the normal 2 - 4 pencil jets? I don’t have a pump either so that should be taken into consideration as well. Right now I am using a 4 pencil jet 12" boar brush.
Also, is it better to have a 9" or 12" gooseneck for the WFP?
Thanks in advance!
Tucker is the brush that you can add a rinse bar to. So it will work on your 12 inch brush. As for pressure a big misunderstanding with the rinse bar is that it is to be used to rinse the glass with the brush off the glass. The reason for the design was to make the pure water to be the last thing to touch the glass. When the brush is on the glass the rinse bar is only a few inches away from the glass so you do not need a lot of pressure. I know some people always rinse with brush off the glass and thats fine. But the rinse bar concept was so you would not need to lift the brush off the glass. Meet John Lee - People | WCR – WindowCleaner.com

I’ve been using the tucker alpha hybrid brush with rinse bar. Some houses, the pressure seems kinda low,(rarely an issue) but take the advice from @Johnlee on that. It’s been a good brush, I highly recommend it.
And the gooseneck really just depends on if you need it or not. Look at the most common jobs that you work on. The tucker swivel adapter is all I use, no additional gooseneck needed.

When working at 50 feet and above it’s really necessary to have at least a 12 inch gooseneck and also a 18 inch brush this gives you a more stable brush on the glass and at that level keeps the brush from flipping on you and also from the flex in the pole hitting the ledge or building Meet John Lee - People | WCR – WindowCleaner.com
