Title: Using screenwash to stop system from freezing
Post by: Steve @ Carpenter Window Cleaning on November 25, 2010, 05:58:41 pm
I have filled my wfp system up with screenwash, from the tank hose right through to the brush. In the morning I'll connect back up to the tank and flush the screenwash into a barrel ready to reuse at night. Ill leave the water running while I drive to my first job.

Does anybody else do this and have they had any problems?

Cheers

Yeah it does help, the reels can be a pain to defrost.

yes ido this but with a mix of antifreeze and water in the barrel, hav'nt done it this year yet, but never needed it unless it dropped to -3 or 4 at night, probably will get some again this weekend.
