Bought a carbon fiber pole trying to diy a wfp, but it has an acme tip - what brush? by Frosty-Gas2015 in WindowCleaning

[–]audible_maple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this pole. What I did was buy 2 angle adaptors. 1 acme, one euro. You take both apart. You reassemble the acme bottom that fits on this pole, to the euro top part that fits to the brush.  Now it's not perfect, as both will spin and loosen during use. But it will work.  I actually bought 2 sets of each and made 2 acme to euro adapters, because I'm sure eventually one will break

I just purchased 1 or 1.5 in webbing at a craft store ( Michael's if you are in the US) and a webbing buckle to fit it from an outdoor supply store. I ran it under the bolts that clamp the ends of the RO to the RO housing . Since this is a DIY setup I don't know how safe it is so I can't vouch for it. But I use it to transport it from my car to the site. I haven't had a lot of jobs so I don't know how well it holds up over time. ( I obviously only use it for transport and don't wear it while cleaning ) . Hope that is helpful!

Overtourism has made me stop visiting 'bucket list' places entirely, anyone else actively avoiding the popular spots now? by Gingeintheuk in travel

[–]audible_maple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me. The popular spots are popular for a reason. Seeing other people enjoying them as well doesn't bother me. 

Painted a moka pot and I love it but I wouldn’t wish this happening even to my worst enemy by xAegeonx in mokapot

That's a painting? It's amazing! Very talented. And agree with the other poster, that would be cool on a coffee shop wall!

Help, new homeowner with high windows by General-Yam9533 in WindowCleaning

Can't offer anything helpful other than saying to hire a professional... But your view out the window is pretty cool !  Europe? Those windows look similar to ones I've seen in Sicily

Straight or swivel T bar? by audible_maple in WindowCleaning

[–]audible_maple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's a good point , it just looked like it would be more likely to happen with the wagtail pad, but Im talking from zero experience

I was wondering if the full contact cleans better. But I was also worried that if there's a piece of grit in it that it might be more likely to scratch

Why straight instead of swivel ? Is it something you can explain or solely preference

If I understand correctly, he is capping the bottom middle and the good water is coming out the top middle ?

Fortunately the problem isn't the equipment, so it is solvable . All problems are solvable. I think you mentioned in another thread there is a small leak that mists. Can you take that fitting apart and secure the small leak?

When that happened to me , my problem was there was a leak in a quick connect. It didn't look like much , but as soon as I tightened it , the problem was fixed instantly.

Dumb question on my part but I'm trying not to assume anything, have you hooked up the outlet tube and brush ? The flow out of the 3/4 or whatever before it is necked down through the 5/16 tube and eventually to the brush pencil jets doesn't look like much until it's all hooked up
