Its things like stairs and suites that I find take the water - more because of the dumping issue to protect from overheating.

I did a 3 bed, 2 bathroom, h/s/l, lounge and dining room on Tuesday and used about 160 I would say.
Again it was the stairs that took a lot but also every room had that horrible black around the skirting that needed handtooling.

Did a lounge/dining on Monday and that took about 30/40.

You get used to judging whats what and loading up for just that. I have 400 for the just in case jobs.

can't see anyone using 100 gallon in a day. unless they have an rx or an RDM
mines 60 gallon and i could just do 2 x 3 bed semi's if they weren't to bad. i can use all 60 on a 3 bed minger though.

suites with the drimaster? on 300psi you'll probably use around 40 gallon, ive dropped my psi now to around 150 to 200 psi and get away with around 20 gallons per suite average,
hope this helps

I have a 100gl tank.

80% of the time I'll use 60gl on an average day.

I'd say also 80% of the house I go to will have an outside tap so I would feel comfortable to just carry 50gls with an on board hose to fill up at the customers house if getting a little low.
