Title: My set-up update...
Post by: PurefectWindowCleaning on May 25, 2012, 07:00:18 pm
Today I received my FLOWTEK controller that NATHANAEL JONES kindly sent me, and its another piece to my jigsaw ticked off the check list. It now enables me to use the 6mm microbore instead of my 40m garden hose, and also I should be able to go a whole day without running out of water  :D

Looking foward to Monday getting out there and using it ;D

I've got a flotech like that  ;D it works very well for me the numpty is a bit loose and it's held together with gaffa tape but apart from that it's bullet-proof  ;)

i had a 20ft fibre glass pole with vikan brush when i started.i nearly gave myself a bad shoulder injury!replace as soon as poss when you ve got enough money.22ft CLX is a good budget pole for domestics mate.

my post said k n o b not numpty that's not offensive a k n o b is a k n o b (there isn't an alternative word) but the abusive is n o b surely! I think it originates from being an offensive term for the landed gentry rather than genitalia. Rant over!

Anyway my k n o b is on the other side of my flow controller

Daz mate, I thought that this pole would be good enough for me, but about 3/4 weeks in going WFP, I def need to invest in a better one  ;D

Why does it say "Analouge Pump Controller" on the bottom did they get a window cleaner to do the spill chekking?  ::) ::) ::)

It isn't like mine at all, mines flojet - been and checked, k n o b on the left blue light. Which I haven't a clue what it does any advice would be appreciated re-the light. sometimes it flash sometimes it's on and sometimes it's off  ???

I imagine it does this even when I'm not there to watch it but I can't be sure.

.... not hijacking the thread just lending it for a bit  ;D

LOL,.. I was hoping no one would notice that! James has the final prototype, & the guy doing the labels isn't english...

All the labels on the production units have the American spelling "Analog" so as to avoid this mistake in future!!  ::) ::) ;D

I love it even more!

 I want one!

 I used to have a watch that was made by "Disol" which I used to wear out and if someone asked the time I would show them it. It had a big face it was great it was cheap I loved it!!!

 The strap fell off two weeks after mind  ;D Haven't been able to find one since.

Will it? I thought the screws, nuts and bolts I have used to secure everything down, would stop this from happening!!!  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o ??? ::) ??? ::)

The pole will be on the roof rack as from next week  ;)
