Re: Quick horn rinse
I love mine. Super simple and easy to use. You can use dawn, or any other liquid dish soap. Rinse it until the water is clear for a minute.

Worst case scenario on buildup, just use white vinegar in the tool.

Re: Quick horn rinse
Mark, I use mine every few months and it works very well. I also use Dawn dish washing liquid in the QHR. I have an adapter and short piece of garden hose so I can attach it to the shower head in the bathroom. This way there's warm water mixing with the soap and going thru the horn.

Re: Quick horn rinse
Pretty sure they're both 3/4", but one end is tapered (shower head connection) the other is straight thread male type hose connection.
