i use around 300-350L A DAY (9AM-4PM)normally although it can be 400L on a longer day.(ive got 2 barrels that take me up to 400L as i have a 350L tank).

i use an aqua-daptor and digital flowcontroller set on 60 and use 100 m of microbore.i do trad some doors and ground floor windows though in tight spaces.

Limited to 2 x 25litres atm (sadface).
Try to pole the tops and trad the bottoms...saves water and only have to carry my pointy ladder.
Local too so more containers over the coming weeks.

I think you could safely reduce the flow rate and use less water.  ;) Set at 60 seems a bit high.

 i think its just been mentioned but i think 60 is quite high daz,especially for regular cleans,mines 40 but i use fan jets and like you  a aqua adapter

In total i use about 350lts,9.00am till 4.00pm and about 15/17 houses

I leave 45 on regular cleans but could do 40!

I could use a lower flow , but I find the job then takes longer , I've got  500 ltr tank , so don't have to worry about running out of water.

Done about 10 first cleans yesterday so i used a bit more than normal  but average is about 500 and usualy hav to go home and top up thank. That would be working from 10am -5pm with average amount of houses. Flow rate doesnt seem to be to strong usually hav it betweem 40-45 which makes pencil jet shoot out about 2-3 foot.
