Brush and Pole Kit with Hose 32in wide Water Powered Brush for Cleaning Large Surfaces
32-inch Water Powered Rotary Brush Complete Kit, engineered to efficiently clean solar panels, atrium glass, and flat glass skylights with precision and ease. This comprehensive brush and pole kit is designed to seamlessly attach to a small pressure washer and water source, providing a convenient solution for thorough cleaning tasks.
The bristles on this brush are known for their superior cleaning capability offering "One Pass" cleaning of things like bird droppings on the surface being cleaned. The brush system includes a reversable splash guard that directed the spinning water away from the operator.
For best results the brush will use 3.0 gallons of water per minute with a top consumption of 3.4 GPM. The pressure is regulated to between 800 and 825 PSI by using the included pressure regulator. the suggested pressure washer is a unit that has an output of 2800psi to 3000psi at 3.0 GPM
This mobile, hand-controlled scrubbing brush is specifically designed to be operated by an operator from a distance of 5 to 30 feet, ensuring flexibility and ease of use in various cleaning scenarios. Powered by water pressure from a pressure washer, these brushes save considerable time compared to traditional Water-Fed pole brushes, making them ideal for efficient cleaning operations.
The 32-inch Water Powered Rotary Brush Complete Kit requires a pressure washer with a minimum flow rate of 3.0 gallons per minute (GPM) and a pressure rating of 3000 psi for optimal performance. The brush operates best at a water flow rate of 3.0 gallons per minute with a small pressure washer, ensuring efficient cleaning results.
Powered by a small pressure washer, the Rotary Brush can be used with tap water or RO (Reverse Osmosis) water for spot-free rinsing, delivering exceptional cleaning performance while minimizing water consumption.
Upgrade your cleaning routine with the 32-inch Water Powered Rotary Brush Complete Kit, designed to streamline your cleaning tasks and achieve superior results with ease and efficiency.
The rotating roller brush was designed and built to clean solar panels, atrium glass and other large horizontal to slightly angled surfaces, like metal roofs.
It is a mobile, hand-operated unit designed to be positioned and operated manually on the surface to be cleaned.
Rotary water powered brushes offer considerable time savings in the cleaning operation performed on solar panels and building surfaces when compared to traditional fixed brushes.
Brush requires:
- Water at 800 to 8250PSI (45 to 56 BAR) at 3.0 GPM
This is the water pressure needed to rotate the brush head and should be 725 psi max for long service life.
Included:
- 32in Rotary Brush Water Powered
- 27ft ProTool Anti Spin Oval Pole
- 50 ft Pressure hose, adaptors and fittings to attach the Solar Brush to the pole and to a pressure washer
32in Rotating Brush and Pole
Instructions for Use:
- Connect the brush to the telescopic lance.
- Position the unit on the surface to be cleaned.
- Turn on the Pressure Washer
- Open the water valve on the telescopic lance.
- Begin cleaning the surface.
Stopping the Brush - Turning off the cleaning
- Close the telescopic lance’s valve.
- Turn off the Pressure Washer
- Turn off the water supply
- Open the telescopic lance’s valve to discharge the residual pressure.
Connecting to the ProTool Solar Pole
The Pole will om assembled with the pressure hose routed through the center of the pole.
- Attach the Pole Adaptor JIC Female Fitting that exits the top of the pole to the JIC Male fitting that is installed in the brush
- At the bottom of the pole the pressure hose will have a 3/8in coupler.
- Use lengths of Pressure Hose to reach the work area
Then attach the Valve, Gauge and Regulator using the M22 Twist Fittings
Use a Pressure Gauge to understand the pressure at the brush
Install the Gauge on the pressure washer connector to set and control the brush pressure
Pressure Gauge
Test Run your your pressure washer and supply water to the brush from your running pressure washer the PSI at the brush head should be between 800 to 850 psi.
Note: The Pressure at the pump connection would be about to 1000 psi to 1100 PSI adjust to get adequate spinning power at the brush and no more
Note: When using longer hoses, hose losses will cause the pressure at the brush head itself to be less and the brush will spin too slow, you can add more pressure to (1000 to 1100psi at the PW) to get the brush to spin when this occurs.
Pressure Regulator
Use a Pressure Gauge to understand the water pressure being applied to the brush
Install the Pressure Gauge on the water connector on the brush
(Included with the pole and brush)
One you have your system setup at the correct pressure you can remove and store the gauge for future testing
- Always test again after a pressure washer has been worked on or should a different pressure washer is put in place to power the brush
NOTE:
If your pressure Washer is running the brush at more that 850PSI then immediately stop the water flow.
You can try a smaller pressure washer or install and adjust a Pressure Regulator to set the pressure to the suggested 600 to 650 psi to run the brush. (Max 850psi)
How to check your Flow from your Pressure Washer
- Place the brush over a 5 Gallon bucket and time how long it takes to Fill the 5 Gallon Bucket it should be filled in between
- 100 seconds (3 gpm) (1min 40 seconds)
This is measured at a max of 850psi at the brush, anything longer than 100 seconds is not enough flow.
Regulator and Gauge are included with the Brush
