WFP the whole house on all houses. When you run out, go to a customer who has a tap and if they don't mind, fill up your tank and clean their windows at the same time for free. Run the water straight through a DI vessel.
You are happy because you have solved your drip problem, earn more money a day despite the added cost of extra resin. You will still be quids in over a month by a long way.
Your customer is happy because they get their windows cleaned for free. It's especially good for them if they are on rates! It takes me 1/2 hour to fill a 500L tank in my pick up from 0-full. You can roughly work out how long it will take you from that for your tank.
Everyone's a winner, but especially you! 8)

On most windows the water wont drip onto the window below unless its very windy.
If you have a problem bay window clean above it first then do all the rest leaving it last
by this time the drips should have stopped.

If you are doing solely DI, but this guy ain't. He is trad on the bottoms. 50% or more slower on 50% of his work. He will be quids in.

Do the upstairs at the back, then work your way round to the front. Then go back round and start downstairs, unless it is a very small house, the drips should have stopped by then.

Sod that.... ;D

just do it in the right drip order????
if one window is still dripping do something else.
big bays i will do first regardless of front / back system cause they drip forever and then do the other top windows all round and work my way back to it in order.i wipe the sills and doors all round and wait for drips to stop.then clean bottom window under it.
common sense really m8y
-
I just start around the back....do the top windows first but I always turn my water flow off and wipe over the cills as this greatly reduces any drips..then start on the bottom windows making sure you start on the window underneath the first one you did on the top..then repeat round the front :)
-
why worry if you have cleaned upstairs properly the only thing
that will dripping below is pure water which will dry clear
-
I,m with simon, I just do all tops then go back to start and do bottoms when waters stopped dripping, it adds no more than a minute to the clean..
-
its VERY RARE I have a continuous dripping window but on 2 houses on my full round I have to do the top windows at the front go do all the rest come back and do the bottom of the front, takes about 1min longer no problems
-
with no van yet, backpack, i wfp tops front, then go round back usually. then back to front bottoms. ill have to get a stopper on , either aquadapter - or tap fitted onto hose. easier to wipe ledges. ill look into getting a van set up, save lugging 25 litre drums about.
ill look into cheapest way to produce pure via van while out working, or keep to the ro at home and fill van in mornings when going out.

I've got a pole tap and if an upstairs window is going to be a problem I turn the flow down a bit.

Get a 'towel turban' (women use them to dry their hair). It fits over your brush like a glove and you've got an instant dry cloth on the end of your pole. Wipe the sill dry. I use them to dry the undersides of gutters and soffits when i'm doing gutter cleans.

Why dry soffits?

Why dry soffits?
Sometimes water droplets will just sit and hang on the underside of the soffit. Usually these droplets have creeped out of the vents and are basically dirty water. It looks awful and unfinished. It takes me about a minute or two to dry the side of a house and gives a real great finish. It's just how I work.

some water drips from brickwork or felt on lower surface under top window.
