Hey chaps,

I don't wanna be controversial here, but I've found that I've had loads of problems with the Autobrush. The problem for me is that the autobar keeps riding up, so that it doesn't catch the on-off switch. It's caused me no end of problems - ie when the pole is 4 storeys high and the water wont switch on - nothing quite as demoralising as having to keep taking pole down etc

Ive already been through two autobars, as i thought it might have been one of those that was faulty, and ive bought two new lots of brackets incase they were faulty, but sure enough it still rides up and wont switch on or off via the bar?

It reassures me though to hear that you lot rate it, perhaps it's been a problem unique to mine? Peter have you got any ideas mate, would love to sort it out as am wasting loads of water without it...

Cheers,

I gotta say,.. I've used one every day for 6 months and I've never once had that problem,... as Peter said, the bracket must be slightly out of position.

hi . i have a similar switch to peters. i started with a bar but found it to be a little clunky. my new idea was 2 tubes of alumiminium pipe from b@q .the outer is 16 mil and i fix it to the brush with the fasteners plumbers use to fix 15 mil piping to walls etc .with this pipe being 16 mil it is really nice and tight.the next size pipe runs inside this one and runs freely.this is the pipe whitch overhangs  the brush slightly at each end like the autobrush. when i get the desired lenghth i file a little section through both pipes in the middle creating a slot and this is where the toggle of the switch seats.i jubilee clip the switch to the pole nice and tightly and your off .the toggle works the same way as peters from then on by tapping either side for on or off .

well i have been using the switch for a few years now ,before i became aware of autobrush.obviously the first one took a while to source and develop but now i have it up and running it only takes about an hour to make another for different brushes.

Do you use the same switch as Peter does?
If not,... what weight is it, and where do I get one?

Does the whole pole fill with water then?
I cant see how there could be tubing inside unless it was extremely stretchy hose... no I cant understand how it works!
Great idea though 

lmao...great thread..

jouk peter
