How does having 2 electric reels when your a one man band make you quicker unless you've perfected a way of cleaning with 2 poles at the same time.! One of the reels is going to sit there redundant , and why on earth dont you have a manual reel as a back up and then just order another electric reel when the other one packs in. Given that several on here are saying the PF reel lasts for years, you could well find out its outlasted you if you become unfit to work, what a waste of money that would have been. Im all for having a few spares but thats just nuts.

I agree....he throws money at equipment that he doesn't need and tries to convince us it's gonna make him more money.

My reel in 9 years old now. Still going strong 💪

I don’t believe a word he writes.
He’s got a ‘mate’ for advice or help in every scenario, that he has just happened to see that day! It’s all just made up IMO.
We’re all different and none of us are perfect, but Scottish is a different level.
Hopefully he’ll find another, or return to advising on another forum.

Personally I think wfp window cleaning has matured. Most things have been invented and tweaked for the regular,average window cleaner. It would be interesting if there was a way of installing a decent hot water system in an electric van as that is the next step forward we need going into the 2030s IMO.

Window cleaning is at saturation point where I work these days. So many new companies starting up and lots are actually franchise businesses. Real business minded people are getting into it. I even see billboards advertising window cleaning!

I see that trailer/board under the bridge every time I head that way, wonder if they get many enquiries from it?

I wouldn’t say it’s saturated, there’s plenty of startups about but that’s been the case for the last 10 years, I certainly wouldn’t want to be starting out today but my phones never been busier with new enquiries as these last few weeks.

Not many of the startups last anyway. I can count on one hand the amount of business that work my area that have lasted 10 years or more.

Defo saturated where I am, we have a saying ‘every other van is a window cleaning van’ and it’s not far wrong.

The game went ballistic after Covid, never seen so many window cleaning companies pop up. They’re all still trading by the looks of things.

Can see the advantages of the swivel if you have a tail lift, but probably no benefit if you have barn doors?

The swivel is ideal in my tailgate version.

Window Cleaning Forum / Auto shut off 4040 ro

« Last post by C.C.S. on February 12, 2026, 09:42:52 pm »

Hi,

I'm getting an new van , el3ctric this time and I'm planning my setup as I'll be selling the current van with the whole system.
At the moment the Ro system it's in the van and I'm planning to keep it of the van for the new one .
I'll be keeping it in the garage but I don't have space for a holding tank.
The plan is to filter the water straight into the tank in the van and I'd like to avoid overfilling it . So there system would need to have a auto shut off. The ro system will be boosted aswell.
So not sure how to go about it regarding the auto shut off .
Any ideas.

Thanks

I got a discount. Out today and made £400 because i was out all day. I don't see the problem, my van, reels, hotwater and light weight poles make me money. Why would I run with things that are not the best ? As I have said before, the more one invests in equipment the quicker one will become. Sooner or later the penny will drop and you will slowly realise what I'm talking about.
What's the point of the money sitting in the bank earning nothing, when it can be used to make me work quicker, its a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

I have another one coming this week and will swap over at the weekend. They are great reels and I think they will last a long time. That's me got everything I want now and hopefully the dough will flow in so I can focus on a new van.
Why are you swapping it over when the one you have already is relatively new?

I have 2 SS Grippa reels but they don't have a chain. I haven't had them serviced so they are grinding a bit and one gave up so I swapped it over with the PF one. Going to swap over the other one at the weekend and run with 2 PF reels. I will fit 75m's of thermal hose and 30m's of pole hose on it which I have on the new reel. Will hold on to the Grippa ones and maybe give Oliver a present when he services my hotwater system. He fitted SS reels when I only paid for metal reels 6 years ago.
I’m sorry but over 2 grand on electric reels with the limited amount of customers you have is absolute madness IMO.

It is a bit extreme, to say the least.
