I hope the system in your van is from ionic because the reach and wash man you have on your van is a registered trade mark and you are not allowed to have that if your system isnt from them.

Thankyou both for your input, im glad you like it :)

You won't need to, they will almost certainly be ringing him I bet.
There are plenty of ionic customers who come on here and will report it. If they've paid to get an ionics system and use the logo, then its in their interest to help ionic enforce it. I know of at least 2 occassions that this has happened. with one the guy had to change his website so no big deal, the other he had to have his sign-writing removed and re-done at great cost.

No I wont be ringing them because this company is not in the areas we cover, but I would be if they were.
Yes people do care. If you have paid to have the market leading system as we and many others have then it is annoying when other companies take the p.
Its no different to having logos from the fed or safe contractor ect that you dont belong to or havnt earned
-
Not to add fuel to the fire but are they really that hot on their pictures?
No end of lads round here have that water drippy man logo thing and they ain't using Ionic's a can tell ya!
Also, what about that god awful picture of the blue glass and yellow pole taken from the point of view of the brush looking down. The world and it's wife seems to have that on their site. On an early version of my site the fella put it on mine-told him to drop it as it irritates me every time I see it!

Lee-in this thread you've put you've got Ionic kit in your wagon but in another thread you've put you're DIY.
Can you tell the difference between them? I know you've got a few wagons on the road, wondered if you always had the same one for you-if you know what I mean?
-
to answer your questions
yes they are that hot on it. It is a registered trade mark the same as any other registered trade mark.
NoI have never said in any thread we have DIY systems. Our vans are all ionic as is the new one that will be with us in 2 weeks time. Could you be confused with me saying I have DIY hot water installations? that is the only part we have done ourselves. Which is why I dont put the thermo pure logo on our vans.
-
that's it! Sorry for the confusion
-
i hate that looking down on a pole brush picture i think everyone has used that for some reason at a time me included, i belive that pic is free to use though it was mentioned on here before

I can see your point they are very expensive for what they are so I suppose part of it is paying for the Ionic brand.
I'd be interested to know if they have ever taken action against anyone who's used it unofficially.

yeah i thought that too

HI thankyou for all your input. I just got back from cleaning a conservatory ni the rain. perks of the job ;D. I will ring ionics tomorrow morning as if its a trademark picture and they are offended in anyway. i will remove it and replace it with another design. I will let you all know the out come .
Regards
Gazzen ;D

I can understand why Ionics would not like anyone using their logo. But i cant see the point in anyone else being bothered. after all who other than other window cleaners even know who the heck ionics are, what they do, or if their gear is any different?
Its the customers I worry about and all they worry about is if I can get the muck off their windows not whose equipment I use to do it.
And NO i dont use Ionics and if I did I certainly would not advertise it. (unless they paid me) ;D

Monkeys like me? That's funny. I'm not getting at this fella in any way simply stating facts. Gold oak I would advise you to spend a bit more time on here getting to know the people you are talking to/ insulting. To call me a monkey only makes you look ignorant.

Hi Gazzen to answer your question on how much hose will a Varistream push? Pressure is created in your system mainly by the pump not the controller. The size of jets hose wall expansion height of the pole will also have an effect.
As a general rule you will need 5PSI of pressure per 10 feet you are pushing the water up hill. Have a look at the July 2013 issue of WCM magazine Page 23. http://www.windowcleaningmagazine.co.uk/html/magazines.html
Most people run a 100 meters hose form a 100PSI pump with little issue.

Thanks for that info ian,
I was going to ask that question again :). I will have a look later, been told it should push it though.

Gazzen

This is the picture i used before the writing on my van. I have since designed a new pic .(i like better ;D)
Im glad this was pointed out early ni the stage of my business as its only on my van so no real cost. Also made me realise as my business grows it would be much better to have your own pic & design. i have put my business, website, etc all togethe by myself. so cutting a corner and using a pic of the web has back fired. But at the same time opened my eyes and i prefer my own design. Which i will post as soon as its fitted
Regards
Gazzen
Will post video again. Without the ionic
Thankyou all for the replies and info ;D
