Title: Tank size ?
Post by: slendersunfish on April 01, 2005, 11:51:38 pm

If a window cleaner works on thier own for approximately 5 full hours  using waterfed pole what size tank do they need so they dont need to fill it up during the day.


600ltrs ????
750       ???

Depends on the job .A office block thats not been cleaned in 15 years will take three 700ltr tank fulls in five hours non stop using dual reels.On residential a 700 ltr tank will last all day depending on how far apart each job is etc etc

I have had an aquatec trolley since early February and first time around my 8 barrels (200 litres) were being used at 1 x 25 litre barrel per semi-detached (with bay windows but not too large) - second time around about 15 litres per semi. But I do run out early afternoon or I spread it out by doing upper floors only to save water. (and blading the bottoms)

I am paranoid about rinsing and having a TDS reading between 000 and 003, and am pleasantly surprised at the positive response from customers. (literally only one out of eighty so far has made a negative comment and no-one has complained after my second visit. Early days yet though!)

Shortly I am increasing my capacity by buying a trailer and I am confident that the 400-450 litres (inc car) I then carry will be enough.

Weve got large variation in water used over a day here !!
 

Im sure we all apreciate there is a difference between domestic/comercial and hight in water used but even in this post were looking at between

* 150-1400ltrs a day!!!!

Prehaps were all cleaning with wfp differently?

Has Anyone else got diffrent figures for the amount of water they use per house/hour/day ????
