    Thanks for that shout mate I can hand on hart say I have never asked anyone to give me a shout so its always nice to get one Andy thanks. look's like the paint brush on a stick's that's a winner for that job on the inside of the pod I will be taking on a Bog brush for the out side as that's a cracker of an idea. Happy ponding

      The brushes have definitely improved the cleaning

    • @boxtriker
      @boxtriker Před 3 lety

      The amount of air can make or brake the clean as well i know they come with a 75L air pump but if you want it to dance then over 130L will get it kicking high. i have the big boy on it and that ones 180L or 190L its so old i have forgotten. the Andy sent me sub's are going to push it over the 3K tonight it looks like thanks to you.
