More problems...
I heard the pump running while I was in a shop, and when I opened the back door a load of water came out. >:(
It was definately switched off at the controller, and the pump had stopped.
I wouldn't have packed it away and shut the door otherwise.
Once I found it buzzing away and trickling water though, I couldn't stop it.
I had to disconnect the battery.
What's the matter with it now? ::)
If it wasn't for the fact I make more money (per day) using it, and have to because of my arm, I'd dump it.
What with that and the broken pole it's doing my head in lately.
8 out 10 customers preferred the old way too.
I've lost so much work that I'm actually worse off over the course of the month. :(

But other than that...you're enjoying it eh?

Either Your switch must be goosed, or you have a short circuit.
2] Either your work is unsuited for wfp, or your not doing it right.
There you go, sorted. Dai

Squeaky i`m not trying to have a go at you about how you clean with WFP mate but to be honest if used correctly and the customers are told to look at results once dried there shouldn`t be any problems,the system works and i find that most of the time bad results are down to user error not all the time i know but more often than not.It`s either that or you have a lot of problem houses.

Squeaky which switch are you talking about, if its on a vari 2 or similar I had a short on a earlier one that had got water on it and had eventually worked its way onto the circut board causing a short

Well that's the thing, I am!
I'm much happier working this way, but I wish there wasn't so many problems.
I can't afford them.
My work consists mainly of old bags or scabby windows.
That's my problem.

No, I mean a manual flow valve.
It's definately shut, but the pump doesn't stop.

Pressure switch sounds knackered.

Pressure switch sounds knackered.
Well it's over 2 months old now... ::)

Sounds like your pressure switch has stuck open. One way to cure this is to give the pressure switch a good sharp tap with a hammer, this can often have the effect of freeing the spring inside. I had it happen to me a couple of months ago, it hadn't happened for at least 2 years previously.
-
What`s the point of pressure switches is what i`m starting to think,all they do is keep packing up.
-
Alex how do people who have varistreams fill theres no solinoid is there,do you have to have a separate one.The eco-flo has one.
-
A tap with the hammer? Sounds like the Escort starter motor again.
I don't know about your pump problem Rog but that stuff about losing customers and it doing your head in was where I was in the first few months of WFP. My first year turnover with WFP was actually a tiny bit less than the previous year trad as I had a few teething troubles and some of the custies were a pain about WFP.
This year, I reached my best years turnover level only today and my year isn't over until 30/9. And I've had loads more time off too. If I had filled the gaps sooner it would have been at least a 50-60% turnover increase.
I'm saying this because I know it can take a while for it to start coming good.
-
squeeks, as soon as you can get a varistream. the pressure switch then becomes redundant.
-
why not go on a trianing course sounds like you`ve got nothing too lose
except more hard erned custys
or you are more then welcome to come to us for a half day , you can only learn where you are going wrong?? ;)
-
I don't need to learn.
I know how to do it, it's easy. ::)
I can't do anything about moaning customers though.
-
Yes you can.... DUMP them and build your round to suit you,at the end of the day it`s your business so give up the crap and make life easier!
-
That big job- with the housekeeper and very *friendly* personality actress(should have thought of this before they sacked him)- still gone?
-
you always need to learn dude !!!! :o :o
i`ve got poss 2 in a 100 that don't like it so I think that you have not got the right spiel
to sell your stuff.Scabby old bags my favourite conversion no problem or they go! . Just replace all the crap with even much better stuff you know sell the product and yourself , and if your vans not signwritten who the hell is going to guess
Make £10 min charge and stick to it regardless we did and it does work
PS: why or what is it they dont like at least you can`t fall and hurt yourself on they property ,trying too help EDD

How can I dump work when I've been off all week with nothing due? ::)
I'm struggling to pay the bills now, and ANY work is better than no work.
When I'm full (like I was before) then I can replace work.
-
Then get out there and get some more work instead of moaning,it aint gonna be served to you on a golden platter my boy !
-
I find your comments humorous, as I'm sure a lot of other people do. Had one foot in the grave continued i'm sure Victor Meldew would have opened his bedroom window one morning to a good squirting.
And If you were the cleaner smiling cheerfully up at him, i'm sure that he would have met his match.
-
You can come and help me this winter squeaks to help fill your treasure chest.
If you can keep up that is.

Yeah cheers Nel. ::)
Over 100 miles away I expect. ;D

So you have had a week off, how did the canvassing go or are you waiting for them
