I went out for an hour this afternoon, i got soaked as it hasnt stopped bucketing down today, well not till i got home ! typical
However the point is i went out in the rain and on bank holiday to try my new system out and i was amazed at how easy life is to just roll out the hose and clean away
I have a few little issues to sort out, the flow without a controller is way to high, i could pressure wash the drive with it the speed its coming out :) i only did one hour / 2 houses and the drop in the water level is extreme , so thats not good
But it just makes life so easy , however you have to park in the right place and it s annoying when you get round back of a house and can t pull more hose out but im sure i will learn as i go
So if you can go van mount - DO, oh -make sure you have a bottomless pit of money too for all the stuff you keep having to buy :) Trad was so much cheaper

A flow controller is great, and a van mount just transforms your whole way of working.

I can imagine tosh
I do like a very high flow rate , however i imagine im probably only needing maybe 2-3 litres a minute not the 5+ im getting at the minute , its splashing everywhere , however rinsing was quite quick, especially in the rain haha

Said it before, van mount is only way for regular work.
Trolley/backpack for the odd window here or there or if your stuck.

Nice one Sean!! Now you can see why I always advise new guys to get themselves a van mount from the start!!

I never doubted it mate
It was all a matter of funds for me, i pay an absolute fortune in insurance on my van and car, so it was waiting till i could afford to buy all that i needed and run it
But its worth it and im sure that very soon it will all pay for itself as i change to 100 % water fed
I did it as cost effectively as i could but it still wasn't cheap , wouldnt like to go to ionics or similar and pay there costs , but i can see why many do as no matter how hard you try stuff goes wrong and teething problems take a bit to iron out but nearly there now!!
