-

What's your tds reading? Are they getting rid of you before you even clean?
-
print a letter explaining the change, how it works and what to expect. your customers will be grateful.

a bit like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/250l-DIY-WATER-FED-POLE-SYSTEM-DI-ONLY-/220526249575?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item3358638667

make sure you rinse well , the first few cleans are going to be a bit hard but after that its ok
-
just say to the custy, that if thet arnt happy then you will come back and do them free of charge
then scrub the windows and rinse loads and make sure theya re spotless
-
First cleans, especially when you're unsure of what you're doing can cause a little bit of trouble sometimes since the pure water seems to react with old soap residue; and there are other factors such as oxidised frames (where when you lick your finger and wipe the frame, your finger is white; you'll sometimes see 'milk' running down the glass).
What I sometimes do - on a first clean only - is to quickly, but thoroughly wash the frames and glass on all the windows.
Then I return to the first window and do the glass only.
Alternatively, why not post up which area you live, and ask if some kind soul would let you meet up with them at a job and learn from someone with a little more experience?
And don't lose motivation; WFP does work; just like anything there's more to it than meets the eye.

hi yes jackal, thats the one i got, i must addmit, its not very good, seems to be a lot of leaking connections, the reading on the meter is 025 it was 94 and 92, now its 25 in a glass full of water from the brush.
its to cold now to clean so im going to leave it untill the new year.
thanks everyone
-
it should be reading 000, if its a di only system, what is you tap tds ??
-
change your resin, u need to ptfe all the joints
-
25 ppm is TOO hight mate! is the resin vessel 1/3 full and how old is the resin in the vessel?
there are many many wfp operators on this forum you will get all the advice you need ;)
The best advice for the time being is leave your wfp at home until your 100% sure what your doing (from advice on this forum) stick too trad for now!
Best regards g.b

Have you got an RO with your system??
-
its a ro system, the blue bottle smeels like fish, i cant connect the 3 tubes as it leaks every where, so iv left that off and just hooked the blue bottle up.
im sending it all back now, bn talking to my mate and he said its a pile of junk and to stay with a ladder

And if you do send it all back your gonna look funny on here with the username "WFP08" on ladders ;D
-
Don't send it back.
By July you will be thinking,
"did I really climb ladders all day?"
-
i live in carmarthen, west wales.... the water from the tap is 92 and 94..
i know its early days, but im going to sell it... they wont take it bk now as iv used it, just come off the phone...
il sell it to my mate, he offered me 150 pound for it as its leaking, so might as well, its cost me some people all ready

is it the same mate who said it was a pile of junk
-
Dont just bale out & lose all that money - post pics on here & take advice - its probably a simple low cost fix & once you get it right, you will be glad you made the change.
-
yes it is the same guy, he lives about 10 miles from me, he said i wouldn have to pay for him to collect it, as he said he'l have it asap and will come toomr.
i was going to keep the pole and brush for my self, but he reckons its no good for gutter cleaning and to let him have it, so thats the deal for him to travel to collectit and pack it all away..
any body else got a window cleaning machine
-
mate, dont sell this kit to your mate you paid £700 for it so £150 is a p*ss take,the kit you brought will work,you just need educating how to use it as for the pipes leaking that will easily be solved
my advice is to carry on with the ladders for now,and get practicing wfp with you familys/friends and your own houses untill you learn to use the kit,and your tds was to high so thats proberly the reason your customers cancelled
but like i said dont bother selling the kit give it a chance
-
doesnt it seem weird to you that your 'mate' said its a pile of junk but now wants to buy it from you asap i will give you more than £150 for it, i not suprised he will collect for free ::)
-
yes, he said he'l keep it for spares, if he ever gets a machine...he does ladders aswell in the street he lives in.
Thanks all
-
if you sell it to him, he will wfp next week,
-
i dont believe for a minute that he wants it for spares he knows its new and easy to fix and is making out to you it no good,
and why wouldnt the pole be any good for cleaning gutters,he is telling porkies
like blue monkey just said sell it to him and after xmas he will be wfp,laughing cuz your still on ladders
im trying my hardest here so you dont get ripped off mate
-
The first month is the hardest when converting to WFP, If you R/O is leaking wrap PTFE inside the thread and push all the hoses right in you will also need to flush the system for about 10 minutes,then make about 100 ltrs of pure water and test the TDS,I would practise on your own house family and friends and continue to trad for the next few months till you feel confident using the WFP and then slowly convert your round,maybe starting with 10 houses just top windows WFP and bottoms Trad then slowly increase this number each month till happy with the amount till your 100% WFP.
Follow the advise of experienced WFP guys/lasses and you will get the hang of it,We have all been there and experienced the same problems you will encounter.Main thing is not to give up and selling 750 pounds of gear for 150 pound is a bargain and I think your mate is having you over,I'm sure there are guys in Wales that can show you the ropes or come to Manchester and I show you my system and way I clean
-
where abouts do you live pal...im in the south, i take it you drive??. if you want to sell it, il give you 175 cash for it, and you can keep the pole..
deal??
if you want i can fix it up for you, but ul have to wait till after xmas.. you sure its a ro system...
up to you let me know pal
-
£200 cash
cheque,bankers draft,paypal,bank transfer,credit card, which ever you prefer!
any other offers? ;D
-
ok this is war, il give you 275 quid tonight for it....in person and you keep the damn brush lol
its easyer for you to seel it to me as i live in the surrounding area or close enough to travel in the van
-
My mate says its a pile of junk and to get rid, He offered me £150 for a new £700 system as he is doing me a favour by coming to collect it,for spare parts to a system he may or may not get in the future ;D ;D ;D and I thought Jeremy Kyle was funny, This is a wind up right ;D
-
i dont believe its a wind up, some people are just that gullable
-
cant believe you all fell for that ::)
thats a right wind up
-
its not a wind up, its leaking all the time, dnt know what iv started here, il just keep it maybe, sounds like it can be fixed, tahnks to the 2 who wanted it though..
isit me or is this place full of people slating others for something they have typed..
im on a fishing forum and it seems a lot less hassle i will be honest.
sorry if that upsets some people.
thanks

Leights, if you want to wind people up, do yourself a favour and use Google Chrome with spell checker. It's no good opening a new ID then making exactly the same silly spelling mistakes and giving the game away. We've seen it all before on here my old mate. What the hell is "Crimeolgy anyway"? Where did you get a degree in it?

Crimeology:
The study of crime itself and more particulary how to commit one and get away with it.
The science was founded by a group of antiestablishment acdemics. They believe that law controls too much of our lives and that most crime is such victimless crime as prostitution,underaged sex,underager drinking,public sex ect. and that most criminals are really victims of society.
The main principles of crimeology are that one needs to plan a crime backwards so one won't get too emotionaly involved in it and back out.
Know everything there is to know about police science and technology and behavor. In other words to know your enemy better that they know them selves and also to study all one needs to know about forensic science.
Study the sciences of antipolice science and antipolice technology and antiforensic science for what one needs to know. All three are branches of crimeology.
Go through an "ology" list to know all about the future crime scene.For example the sociology and chemistry of drugs ect.
Basically the study of crime by criminals in order to get away with it.

No mate, "Crimeolgy" is what he has a degree in. Must be something else.

Crimeolgy, Crimeology, whatever, neither exist in the academic world.
Criminology though...........
