Title: Purified Water Filling Station Map
Post by: Solar Steve on July 20, 2017, 06:59:39 pm
Hi Everyone.

Now that there is a booming purified water filling station business between multiple companies, is there anywhere I can access a map of where they are?

Alternatively,  whoever has one, please feel free to email me the location, cost and your filling T&C's.

Thank you.

If my maths are right????

I reckon it costs per year with membranes filters resin etc plus 1 sub pump per year (thats all they seem to last) it costs me around a 1p per litre  or 1.25p per litre.

Why would some one pay 4-5 x that for pure?

Complete side point i suppose but how much is a bottle of drinking water.
For me it costs about a pound for 500ml. Thats just to drink the stuff, rehydrate and empty it out down the toilet.

But this stuff is gold mine, we clean peoples windows n make more money from it.  How much is that worth from a business point of view for the convenience  of it!
Oh and its not just for the purpose of window cleaners as well.

The walls of opportunity are closing in fast, due to the lacklustre attitudes.
Cant get water upto that temp with emmersion......its not needed......
Stupid idea selling home and growing an empire..........tv adverts you must be mad
Impossible to clean 30 houses in a day on wfp
How many jets,,,,,,,,wont make work any faster
Hot water your fooling yourself

Difference between defeaters and defeatist

Hopefully I'm not going to wreck the whole business model, but it works out WAAAAY cheaper just to run mains through a DI vessel!

Because they may be unable to filter their own water if they live in a property, such as a flat, where that is difficult.  Also, there may be no affordable units in that area to rent.  I would only use it in an emergency myself if something were to go wrong on my static  system or if the mains failed due to a burst pipe.

Well , i think its good for us as a backup ......BUT.......

I also see that they are offering packages so joe public can do his own windows !
That peaves me a bit , sell us overpriced water then have a crack at losing us customers.

Think i have changed my mind on putting money in their pockets now !
I know its all ready available on fleabay and the likes , also the custie has to be bothered to do it , but lots will for sure i think .

I agree with this, I've had quite a few over the years who after watching me cleaning their windows with the pole have said they are going to do it themselves as it's quick and looks quite easy.....then I ask where they're going to get the water from? the garden tap is the usual response ;D, then when I tell them how I filter my water they soon change their minds.

It does depends on your tap TDS, here in Brighton, being a hard water area it's  cheaper to buy water from us  than produce through DI only, (sussex pure water )

Yes it is but you don't get the same finished result , clean windows with ro and it puts a real shine on the glass , di it looks dull, we pick up lots of work beacause the previous cleaner used  di , and our tds  hear before treatment is about 90 . Di will clean it but takes longer and no shine to glass maybe ok for solar panels though 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Joe Public is lazy / has better things to do with their time, that is why we have a job.

Bigger concern for me is that it is now easier than ever to start up a window cleaning company. No knowledge needed whatsoever.

Strikes me as a lot of staff for filling the odd automated water tank.

Some may just investors.  Maybe they all work on the business everyday, but I doubt it.
