Hi all, as you know I am new wfp user and currently use a 205l tank in the van...As of late I am getting more and more detatched houses and semi's....As most of my work at the moment are 1st cleans I am getting through water at an alarming rate...
Just thought I would try to get a feel of what you're using....
My vech is a Nissan Vanette Cargo 2.3.
Cheers
Dave.
oopps just noticed, that I typed 100l instead of 1000l, don't think that I can change it.

Come on guys....do me a favour and tick a box.... ;D

I use a 500L, and I did find Iwas using more to start with. But, to be honest I expected it, I was using a higher flow rate anyhow, and with the extra scrubbing and rinsing, it soon goes. Saying that, I probably used nearly half a tank in one day. Now, a full tank will last me nearly 3 days a the moment, approx 15 man hrs.

Thanks for the advise... :)

I have a 250 lt tank. Only used wfp for 2 days and each time I ran out of water by lunch and went back to trad for the rest of the day. I will be getting another tank possibly another 250. With time I hope to cut down on the amount of water I get through per job as I get a tad more experienced wqiththe poles

I have a 650ltr system and two of us empty it every day.
This is 60% domestic and 40% commercial
-
650 used to last 2 of us all day, im still doing that amount now in a day on my own due to there still being the same amount of windows to clean.

100 - 150 L a day, doing upstairs only
-
we use a 650 litre tank, hardly ever run out and this provides for two hoses/two guys 8am - 4.30pm
-
i use a 175 tank in my boot and ive just started to use 2x 25 litres containers in the front seat, properly secured of course i could get another in at a push, this does me for about 5 hours work.
-
I've voted for 650 litres though I have an 800 litre tank in mine. I have only ever used more than 650 litres once and that was on a very dirty, one off commercial job that needed going over twice. If you work on your own on mainly domestic work, 650 should be fine.
-
Thanks for the info guys...think that I will go for the 650l..... ;)
-
I've not ticked a box because 175L isn't there! OK I've ticked 250 because that is about what I carry.
I use an estate car and have a 175L tank longways behind the passenger seat.
(Also 2/4 25L barrels and a 16L backpack so a max of just under 300L but more usually 270 or 240.
If I had a van then 400 would be fine for me although 650 is more convenient.

I use a 250litre in the van but am changing it to a 400 this week.
99.8% of my work is domestic.

I use a 400L tank but im still doing a good proportion of intial cleans so would gladly swap for a 650L at the moment, but as my round builds and I fit the Ecoflow thats just arrived I think 400L will be more than adequate

400 and 650 setups although a 900ltr coming soon.
use about 600ltrs per day, mostly domestic but will be taking on more commercial soon.
-
Well I seem to be returning home most days that I have work for re-fills, so I noe have a 650l on order and hope to get that goign soon...Many thanks for all the replies..... ;D

I use 1000 litre tank. use it all (or there abouts) when three/two men are out in 8/9 hour day. about 600 litres gets used by me when i'm out on my own, can sometimes only use around 400/500 litres if all domestic in one day.
