Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Which system have you got?
« Last post by Roy Harding on January 06, 2026, 03:17:14 pm »
I have had several diy systems that I have made. Then I bought a brand new transporter 4 motion.
I had fitted a Gripatank 650 with 2 x 21"x 4" Ro. It was expensive, but I was concerned with the cost of the new van, I wanted a crash tested system with engineers certificate of fitting. The main reason was I wanted to know the insurance, if I had a prang could not say it was not fitted properly.

Does it work any better no.

If I had another new van I would do the same.

I've come to realise I'm like a social worker most of the time. Trying to reduce the chatting now and have a quick excuse up my sleeve to move on. In the end its up to us to run our business and we don't need the hassle. Going digital is a good excuse to force customers to go DD or you say I can't continue because I need digital paper trail.

Im an anti-social worker. Always set my stall out from the begining to be left alone, never accepted a cup of tea once, say hello if i have to of course but very rarely get involved  in any dialogue further than the weather.

Always makes me laugh when people say system, its a battery a pump, and a controller slapped on a tank. 

That`ll be 3 grand please sir....

If you want  to pay an extra 2 grand they will happily slap an ro/di/b2b on there for you

get your pants down ready  ;D

I think most, me included, use a static set up usually in a garage and have a delivery only system fitted to the van.

My system is 20 years old (same as van) and the guy who fitted it is no longer in business.

For a new system I would look at Pure2o (budget version of Ionics), but if you are happy with The Cleaning Warehouse, I would just stick with them.

I'm presuming you don't have access to a garage/shed space so can't have a DIY setup?  As far as I'm concerned, if you have the DIY option, it's cheaper, and can be totally set up to suit your own needs/convenience, a far better option imho.

My last three  van mounted systems have been bought and fitted  from The Cleaning Warehouse which is local to me. I've had no problems with their systems but as I'm about to change my van for a much newer one I'm just wondering if there are better systems similar price out there. I have the ro 4040 di with fixed hose reel though would probably upgrade to electric next time.

I deal with the * we're ok this month brigade* by dumping them . Then the ones that drag their feet with payment I'll text them to say that I'm calling round later to get payment. They usually pay straight away. Then there is the ones that try it on like a regular one I did before Xmas. She was out but her hubby opened the back gate for me then along with his teenage sons watched me clean the back windows. Payment was still outstanding over Xmas so I sent her a message for which she replied did I clean her back windows because hubby said I was only there for 10 minutes. She paid but now she's dumped!

The trouble is she will bad mouth you as unreliable to neighbours and friends.  "You just can't get anyone reliable and honest these days. They are all the same. He obviously didn't clean the back windows as he was only here for 5 minutes."  They never see themselves as the problem.
