Cost me bout 1200 euro mate but im di only which is a significant saving over ro
I bought 250 l tank , 100m 8mm hose and gardiners hose. 100psi pump with contoller ... diy is easy believe it or not but plenty of good lads on here will talk u thru it as they did me
-
we use x-line, good quality, good advice and good after service, but if you could do it diy then that would be cheaper, just depends on your needs and ability to do diy,

Thanks for replies what size tank is best say 15 to 20 average 3 bed hoses per day

Hi John (good avatar, best band in the world)

Really want to go wfp but heard mixed reviews of customers I've gained a few from not liking it
But others say if it is used properly does a better job

I was like you. The key to the changeover is to keep your customers in the loop . Tell them you're changing to wfp and big-up the benefits , clean frames , no streaks etc. Keep telling them from now til you change. Also, if you do a quality job now as trad, they know you'll do a good job with the pole.
You'll be ok, and safer. Good luck.

Very well made points Nic . Mike

Reviews from customers? LOL! Ignore them.
You tell THEM what you're going to do, not the other way around. 90% won't care what you do as long as the windows are clean. Tell everyone you're changing over because it's safer and it complies with the law - say that because there's no arguing with those reasons.
When used correctly WFP will easily do as good a job or better than trad.
And in half the time, and safely. Its a no-brainer.

i know a company that have a few vans and ALL their staff use ladders and are 100% trad on most domestics and just use wfp on commercial.
id advise you to do the same as you ll lose loads of your customers and will put your business under threat.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

its not perfect, just like trad methods, but used correctly you wont get many complaints once youve changed over, if your wanting to change then just do it, dont worry too much what customers say, you may lose a few, get the hang of it on your own house 1st to give you a bit of practice, or if you buy from a supplier they should give you some tips, also may have been said but if theres someone near you you know, they may be able to help

Doesn't sound like something a customer would say to be honest. Sounds like something a trad window cleaner would say to put others off it. Lol
If you want to go for it, just go for it.
In my experience you won't look back.

Customers who have heard from friends that a bad job has been made, It is all about the user technique and not the equipment used .
If you are switching over it is your decision not your custys , If you are switching because you dont want the risk of going up a ladder any more then your custys opinion does not matter.
I broke my back about 12 years ago now and was very close to spending the rest of my life in a wheelchair my wife was worried every day i went to work and would phone 2-3 times a day until i switched to WFP almost 6 years ago .
A side from the reduced risk factor you will be able to get more days work done in wet and frosty weather , I was happy losing 6-7 custys in the early days and the odd custy here and their over the years rather than losing my ability to walk . Mike

Doesn't matter whether it's summer or winter, pure water will dry clear & spot free regardless of sun/temperature. Only contaminated pure water will dry & leave marks. ;)

takes a while to pick it up, its all about how clean you can get the frames up whilst staying off the vents, the glass itself is easy

ive had two purefreedom van mounted systems,and both have served me well,i find them a good company to do business with,there always helpful and due to they make the systems in house they have always be able to answer any issues ive had.
im happy to take my van to them have the system fitted,minimum down time as depending on where you live you can do a round trip in a day (long day mind as im in the south) and ready for work the next day.
thats my opinion and experience other will have different views.
