Lol. That guy in the film is called Sam. He works for me. Poor bugger had to run that stretch about 20 times. He was proper knackered.... then I dropped him back off on a job where Mikey was window cleaning lol...... ( he loved it really )

This device, I think has only been out a few weeks. I discovered it whilst filming a GrippaMax installation ( incidentally the GrippaMax film will be well worth a butchers). There is nothing wrong with a tap on the end of your hose :)

Hi Gary....... I will explain it for you. Its our idea of the week, we like it. We are going to be picking other ideas we like soon. We are telling those who want to know and so not necessarily aimed at you. Take care.

if we gave them a remote they will lose it in 5 mins, or drive over it, or drop it in the bucket.

Despite sceptic people like yourself on this forum I have renewed my advertising on this site ( today in fact). That, my friend comes out of my pocket. I will not be wasting any future time dealing with posts such as yours in this topic Gary. Happy to chat to you about window cleaning all day.
Use the forum and get what you need out of it........ the rest is pointless.

How did you manage to upload directly to this old forum? I don't think I have ever seen that before on here. Has someone updated the software on ciu?

It might suit some people's particular set up therefore I like it.
Lee, you need to see my latest project piece. An adapted halfords battery pack, attached a pump and it's a really lightweight portable pump box. Removed the jump leads and kept the onboard charger ports volt meter and 12v outlet. Saved me 20kg of lugging the trolley in and out of my car.
Having problem balance wise to resolve though.

Lee - what a great short video that makes the point very clearly.
I know the subject matter may be old hat to some and others may not be interested what ever you do and there are those that will have a dig at you but for me, I was impressed by that. That was very professionally done.
Have you ever thought about bringing out a free on line magazine? ;D

As soon as that annoying music started i switched off.
Sorry lee but this is window cleaning, not wing suit flying or bungy jumping.
Keep it simple and show me what you have found and I might watch the next one.

I have a remote on mine but never ever use it. Trigger on pole is the best way to save on water and pump goes on when i plug in cigerete lighter socket. Good vid though.

i simply nip the hose on my SLX and use my aqua-daptor if im using my CLX.
im another one of the "keep it simple" brigade.its just another thing that could go wrong.i also dont believe its worth investing in a hot water system.cold water is fine most days.
fair play to lee though for bringing this to the attention of window cleaners as im quite sure some will find it handy. ;) :) :)
best wishes
