Title: how much water do you use?
Post by: dazmond on May 05, 2011, 08:02:06 am
following on  from another thread.groundhog was saying he ll be getting 2 500L TANKS in his next van so he ll have 1000L so he can work all day!!i dont know whether this was said in jest!! ;D ;D ;D

i use around 250L-300L ON A FULL DAY.(7 hours "on the glass")with my p/f flowcontroller on 60 all the time.i like a good high flow.i use 5mm extension hose and pencil jets.i do trad the odd ground floor windows in tight spaces or if the windows are in poor condition.im mainly wfp now though.

so how much water do you use on average a day when working on your own?

i was pleasantly surprised when i didnt need as much water as some of guys said i would need.do some of you use 250L by lunchtime?i seem to have my flow on a lot higher than a lot of you yet use less water?im a bit confused now as to why? ???

I use between about 300 litres per day on my own. I have a digital controller and setting is normally on no2 lower for fragile glass. I too use pencil jets on my super-lite slx. Also use 6mm microbore hose.

Groundhog doesnt use a flow controller, he has his pump wired directly to the battery, therefore it is running flat out, thus using more water.

Around 1600 to 2000 litres per full week through the brush...I do not spare the water this time of year.  Winter I use less water.

Including RO waste, I averaged 5,384 litres a week through the year.  Should be less on second year as merlin now gone.
