Don't try to scrimp on the water, use the spray nozzle, Not the jets. On both of my goose necks, one jet is  gone on each. Easy to fix, but the spray is better.

  I reckon on earning between 40-50 pence per litre used, you can work out your water usage from that.

  I am an experienced (6 years) pole user and use fan jets.

i was pleasantly surprised when i found out 300-350L  would be enough even on full days with a couple of commercial thrown in.

i average around 250-300L a day(6 -7 hours on the glass).

i do trad the odd downstairs windows though as some custies prefer it and its easier sometimes esp in tight spaces or if the windows are old wooden and/or oxidised

no need for a big van for a one man band my kangoo is just fine!! ;) ;D ;D
