Incredible product but I wish it was different. I've always felt that the titanium tube that comes with it is not only an unnecessary expense but also a pretty useless item. I prefer barbed fittings as they hold both the connector and the hose you are using much better. Also allows me to use a 90° serrated armature for a sort of panning motion. Mesh diffusion screens are also very good, but along with barb fittings, I like to use sintered bronze filters that screw into my fittings to get the job done, and with just as much cleaning success.
