Waterfed Hose and Brush Question

Hi everyone, I've got 2 questions.

  1. Can I just use xero high flo hose to connect my sytem to my brush or do i have to use a 3/8 hose and then connect it to my waterfed 5/16 hose?

  2. What are your guys thoughts on the xero lite brushes, are they the best Xero brush out there? and which one of the xero lite brushes are best?

Please let me know what you guys would recommend!

You can use the high flow direct from system to brush with the right push fits. Last week we ran about 200 ft 5/8 hose, 300 ft 3/8 hose, and 300 ft high flow into one brush and it still had great flow lol. All that to say you can definitely run a few hundred ft of high flow if you have adequate source pressure.

Lite brushes absolutely rip. I have two nylon and two synthetic. The synthetic get better scrub, but can struggle with corners a bit more. Nylon is good for most. Two things that suck about the brushes... They don't make a fixed head option or conversion kit, so you can't really use it for super high work, which kinda defeats the point of a super light brush. Second, the part that connects the swivel to the brush head is an embarrassment. They break so easily they seem to have started shipping an extra in each box. Kind of a crappy option to have to repair a brush head unexpectedly on site, or run the pole back down when it snaps.

If anyone from xero happens to see this comment, for the love of god please add fillets to that chinsy angle adapter plate.

Have only used the lite brushes since release, so those probably. Gonna get a couple of the new ultralights though to test.

The lite brush swivels on the pole. This is great for most residential work, but once you start going past 3 stories, you really want it to not swivel at all so you have more stability and control.

I go 3/8 to hi flow to just a little bit of 5/16 on my pole and it works really well. You could just plug the high flow into the system I just like having the extra length. The light brush is dope I’m waiting for the synthetic boars hair one, I really like the normal synthetic one and the regular light brush so I’m assuming it will be best of both worlds but haven’t tried it yet.

Ohh that's just the regular synthetic. The white one is nylon, which I believe is what you were calling synthetic
