Title: Spotless Water In Tescos
Post by: Oliver James on December 17, 2019, 06:42:36 pm
Had a sales call from Gary from Spotless Water this morning.

They have a deal in the pipeline with Tescos to feature Spotless water filling stations in Tescos Supermarkets.

It isn't confirmed but he said it is going through legal right now.

May be they could supply them car washing geezers with some water to wash the cars with. They never seem to use water as far as I can see. Sainsbury's are the worst, they wheel a trolley round, where's the water? They just use some sort of chemical I'm sure they knackered the paint on one of my cars.

Oh, and they called me this morning. Told them I'm too busy to talk and I'm not interested thanks.

My local Tesco has pimped themselves out

Got string of shops in car park
Timpsons, photo shop, coffe shop etc

Sold off part of the car park to builders

Gonna be retirement apartments

Senior citizens 👴🏻 can sit on their balconies watching window cleaners filling up vans with o2

And the odd young poo bag roaring about on their motor scooter 🛵

Let’s hope my local Lidl do pure water it’ll be cheaper 😁

That’s exactly what I thought, it’s certainly a possibility.

Window cleaners should stop using services like these , they are as bad as these internet companies who find customers for you. Cut out the middle man , long term these services could ruin us all

I would never use a spotless, nor would I, Completely agree they will ruin the window cleaning industry, no one needs to use one,
anyone can buy and use a simple RO set up to produce there own pure water, at a fraction of the cost,

Does any of these companies ever learn?  Tesco carkparks are jinxed. Things tend to end up vandalised.

Or do a bit of looking around and find a local firm.
I run a firm in Margate  (H2go) we supply water reliably for a lot less than Spotless, there must be little operations all over the country like mine, we sell at only slighter dearer than making your own as we have economies of scale that means we don't need to charge much.
But if you have the space and the time making your own is cheaper than Spotless

Loads use spotless water

I can understand perhaps if you live in a flat or have similar issues making your own...but other than that theres no excuse.

These morons will do a 30 mile round trip each day to fill up a tank with a tenners worth of pure.

Read all about it on facebook lol

No they wont.......people can't be bothered.....they also pay people to walk their dogs and clean their bins out  because they dont wanna/have time to do it themselves...

IMO it wont make any difference whatsoever.......

So you really think Joe public are going to be filling up barrels of water from spotless/tescos sites and lugging it home to clean their own windows with a domestic kit ? I don't think so    ??? Didn't one of the main suppliers come out with a domestic use plug n play kit - pole, hose and small in-line Di cannister ?  Look how many people these days can't even be bothered to wash their own cars themselves !

Lol that will happen it won’t take long for people to realise they only need the water and a pole to clean there own for sure,as said that would be obvious but all spotless water are interested in is selling water you can’t tell me they didn’t know this would happen.

Sometimes we do. Often we use a hydrant.
Sometimes it’s just not possible.

Then you won’t need spotless! Not every business is the same.

I think what we could expect to see, is some customers buying the water and cheap poles, then cancelling their window cleaner.

A year later, phone rings ‘urm, can I have you back?’

If Tesco did sell pure water, and a pole system etc, there would be a few customers that think they can give it a go themselves. Not enough to effect a good round, but you always get have a go hero’s giving these things a go!

I dont think the customers doing their own  windows is much to be concerned about I would be more bothered about those out there that see it as a quick way to make an extra few quid on the side or as a cheep way to add window cleaning to an existing business.

Yep just like window cleaners adding gutter cleaning, pressure washing to their business.
