Does the brush come with a hose?

How do I control the water flow?
There is a valve located on the brush handle that allows you to turn the water on/off and adjust the flow rate.
Is this product suitable for cleaning decking?

What maintenance is required for the brush?
After use, rinse the brush head and store it in a dry place. Periodically check the hose connection for wear.
Troubleshooting
No water flowing through the bristles.
Ensure the garden hose is securely connected to the brush and the tap is turned on. Check the valve on the handle is open. Verify household water pressure is adequate.
Water leaks from the connection point.
Tighten the hose connection to the brush. Inspect the hose and fitting for any cracks or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the washer within the hose fitting is present and in good condition.
Brush head is not cleaning effectively.
Rinse the brush head under clean water to remove any trapped debris. For stubborn dirt, a mild cleaning solution can be applied directly to the bristles (ensure it's suitable for the surface being cleaned). Ensure the water flow is set to an appropriate level.
Telescopic pole is difficult to extend or retract.
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Clean any dirt or grit from the pole sections. If resistance persists, try gently twisting the pole sections while extending/retracting.
