Pure freedom have got a new reelmaster lite reel out. It might be worth a look. Its a little bit cheaper at £700+ including  VAT and a lot lighter than the original.

Window Cleaning Forum / DPF removal
« Last post by JandS on November 15, 2025, 01:10:28 pm »
Van's losing power every now and then.....it's going for a regeneration  doing to it next....guy said if that doesn't cure it they can take it out and run without one.
Have read up and it 's illegal to do this but a much cheaper option.....anybody had their DPF removed and if so any problems.

I used to use this method until I got the tank system. All I do now is wet the SFG and then spray some hypo along and wait 10mins then go back and clean with cold water from the pole. This is the best and quickest method I have come to realise.


Being in Scotland you probably spray half the country without realising it. You’ll no doubt also ruin most of the clothes you’re wearing, get it in your hair, eyes and cover the owners garden.

If you’re now going to say you wear PPE to protect yourself it’s not going to be as quick as you’re implying.

Spraying with my wfp with jet nozzle from my PF trolly. Yes I have ruined many hats, caps and goggles but that's what I buy them for. The method suits me until something goes wrong I'll keep doing it.

You spray bleach through a PF pump?

Yes, paid extra for a chemical pump and always rinse with water when finished. I used to use degreaser but once I went on the Softwash course I began to use hypo. It leaves a better job and saves alot of time so use that now. I have regular customers that I spray their roofs with hypo every 2 years. I spray mine every year now and it still looks like new and it was replaced 15 years ago. I always get asked what I do to keep it looking new and  get new customers .

Battery is brand new lithium , stays above 13v .

Connections are all good ..

Is the battery also 24V ?

No , the motor says 24v on it , battery is 12v. i did ask mionics about me using say an 18v battery to run it but they said it wouldnt be a good idea.

Also agree with Simon regarding snagging.

I set up this movember page in our name and I have a promise to double the donations from a large charity up to 100k !!
Never gonna get that far but worth a try so if you are feeling this pardon the pun go on the page and donate or go directly to movember  thanks in advance
