The Aqua Flow® System
PROVIDING CONTINUOUS WATER AND CLEANING TO THE GRINDING BIT
FEATURES
Prevents Drying Out, Does Not Clog, Prolongs Bit Life
The only system that provides continuous water, continuous cleaning, and the joy of continuous grinding!
Continuous Water Flow:
The Aqua Flow System’s brush bristles use capillary action to wick up water from the reservoir to the grinder bit. While you should wet the bristles before grinding, you won’t need to add water during the grinding process.
Anti-Clogging Technology:
Conventional sponges suffer from sludge buildup, making it necessary to stop and clean the sponge. The system’s anti-clog technology keeps water flowing continuously, drawing sludge and dirt away from the grinding bit.
Prevents Drying Out:
With conventional sponges, you need to add water every 10-15 minutes. The Aqua Flow’s brush bristles do not absorb sludge or dry out, eliminating the need for constant cleaning and hydration.
Prolongs Bit Life:
The proprietary brush bristles constantly clean the grinder bit while also supplying the system with a continuous flow of water. This feature maximizes the life of the grinding bit, ultimately saving you money on replacements.
Self-Locking Snap-In Holder:
Once the self-locking snap-in holder is inserted, it will not detach as conventional sponges do.
AQUA FLOW SYSTEM INSTALLATION & USE
1. Discard your old sponge.
2. Remove the grinder grid.
3. Install or ensure the Quick-Fit Bit® or conventional grinder bit is locked securely on the grinder shaft.
4. Wet the Aqua Flow Brush and slide it through the track on the Aqua Flow System holder.
5. Snap in the self-locking Aqua Flow System holder between the grinder shaft and the reservoir back wall. The brush should touch your grinding bit.
6. Fill the reservoir with water. A minimum of 1/8″ of water must be maintained for the system to operate.
7. Align the grid opening over the brush and grinder bit. Set in place.
When you start a new session or when the grinder has been idle for an extended period, splash a few drops of water over the Aqua Flow Brush. This will pre-hydrate the brush bristles, so they’re already wet at the onset of grinding.
To maintain optimum performance of your Aqua Flow Brush, wash the bristles and holder with warm water to remove excess debris after each use.

Frequently Asked Questions
WATER FLOW – Will water be distributed to the bit efficiently?
Yes. The Aqua Flow System is built to deliver a steady stream of water through the brush bristles to the grinding bit. To keep it working properly, make sure the water is filled to the recommended level—but not over—so it can reach the bit.
CLOGGING – Will the Aqua Flow System become clogged?
No, the Aqua Flow System is unlike a traditional sponge, which usually suffers from sludge buildup. The Aqua Flow System draws away any sludge or buildup from the grinding bit.
DRY-OUT - Does the Aqua Flow Brush become dry?
Unlike a sponge, the Aqua Flow Brush bristles do NOT collect sludge or dry out. This saves valuable time and eliminates the need to constantly stop to add water or clean.
However, the brush will dry out if your grinder is left idle for a long period of time. It is recommended that you pre-soak the bristles before grinding by dipping them in water or squirting them with a squeeze bottle. If the wicking action still isn’t taking place, slowly add water via a measuring cup until you notice water flowing up the bristles.
BIT LONGEVITY - Will the brush bristles damage my grinding bits?
The Aqua Flow Brush will not damage your grinding bits whatsoever, as the bristles will consistently clean the bit by providing water. This will maximize the life of your grinding bits.
ATTACHMENT – Will the Aqua Flow System stay in place once installed?
Unlike traditional sponges that often detach, the Aqua Flow holder and brush are self-locking, snap-in inserts. They don’t allow for detachment unless the artist removes them.
COMPATIBILITY – Is the Aqua Flow System compatible with my grinder?
The Aqua Flow System is compatible with all Techniglass GRINDER models and our MINI G Elevated Platform. Be sure to use the Aqua Flow Brush with the orange base in the Mini G Platform, and the brush with the white base in the main GRINDER water basin.
