Great video, just what I needed! Just purchased the 5-Stage Maxoutput system with this brush setup and this is our first go. I found the video easily, but what if you included a barcode to scan that takes you directly to the pertinent video? Just an idea. Keep up the good work!
The (red) tubing attached to the valves on the brush head came in the same orientation on the brush head I received as in this video (sidenote: the tubes on the unit I received are actually black). You'll notice that the "Y" female push connect fitting is facing towards the side of the brush head, instead of the direction of the pole. This is not ideal for when you are actually using the unit. Swap the tubes going into the valves so that the female "Y" fitting is facing the pole and not the side of the brush. Otherwise the tubing coming out of the valves will be kinked/stressed if you try to use it in the orientation shown in the video. I think whomever is putting these together is installing the tubing backwards (use the brush with the tubing in the orientation in the video and you'll see what I mean). I used warm water so it might have contributed to the issue (tube was softened and more pliable by the warm water), but the tubing came out of the quick connect several times. I think mostly because of the orientation of the tubing facing perpendicular to the pole. Since the tubing basically had to make a sharp 90 degree turn, it was pulling on the fitting. I much preferred using the scrub pads to the brush (I felt the scrub pads did a better job cleaning than the soft bristles of the brush). With this setup, the tubing does not run up inside of the pole, so you have to fight to keep the tubing from getting in the way of scrubbing the panels. I really liked the water flow from both the top and bottom of the brush head and understand a larger tube is needed to achieve enough flow, but it makes cleaning more challenging having to worry about the tubing getting in the way. If you could find a way to run the larger diameter tubing up through the pole, that would be a big improvement. The bump guard at the end of the Bravo pole I purchased popped off and fell off the roof the first time I used the pole. Need to find a stronger adhesive to keep the bumper where it should be. Small critiques. I'm still happy with the unit. Very high quality and seems like it should last.

Hi, what is the price? In Amazon?

Nice
Can I use it with my OVA8 pole?
You will have to adapt the ova8 gooseneck to fit this, but the hole patterns are the same
