I personally have cleaned 100's &  100's con roofs in my long career and have never felt the need to use  scaffolding. why??

Law of physics. I'm higher up than the roof so it means I'm scrubbing down the way. I can also have a better view because I'm above the roof. Not much energy needed compared to scrubbing up the way. In the end, it all comes down to what one prefers. I used to use a stepladder but once I bought the scaffold I use it all the time now for conny roof cleans.

Can’t compare a 4040 to one of those piddly little 450gpd’s.

I’d rather try to look after it so I know it’s there when I need it and I don’t have to wait a month for a new one due to the delivery issues they have over here or the excessive delivery charges which are on top of the $500.

For a 40 squid pump there’s not much of a question mark over it, is there.


Do t think the other components will last more than 3-4 years , switch speed controller and battery will all be on the way out by then  that’s what we found . The pump wasn’t the issue that was still fine  just everything else went  they are ok but very cheaply made

Went great, posted a photo of my scaffold and the height of the platform. Used 2m and 1m frames to give me 3m's in height. Light spray with hypo all over the roof and ends where the dirt runs too. Then scrubbed away with cold water which I find is better when using hypo. Took me a tad over 3hrs so very happy with the result. Any questions then just ask.

Any updates on this?  Sounds like a fascinating mornings work that nobody on here will have any experience with.

That's brilliant. I've never cleaned a conny roof off scaffold. Let us know how it went.

Doing a conny roof clean this morning with the scaffold and cleaning the garage door in the process. Will give a heads up later to tell how it went and how easy or difficult it went. Good experience we can learn from if anyone is doing this type of work in the future.

Not flushed RO in 7 years.

Replace membranes once per year 450gpd ro so costs like £150 ish a year.  Peanuts really.

I'm hoping to get at least 10 years out of my RO membrane before it needs replacing

I reckon I saved around 80L today just by using 4 x 1.4mm jets instead of 2 x 2mm jets

Strange really because I thought it might be slightly more due to extra jets...

I honestly thought we would waste more water too, but the fact it just rinses better, wider rinse on glass, more consistent and less pressure at the 1.4mm as you say strangely you just use less water.

I used more water with 2 standard pencil jets on a small brush.


1:4 mm jets will be higher pressure than a 2mm jet not less . We found it was like using a pressure washer and got lots  of splashback off the glass with the 1:4 that we didn’t get with 2mm ones

Not when theres 4 of them. I have my controller on 70 and it's great. Using 4 x 2mm jets and the flow just isn't anywhere near as good as the 1.4 with the added bonus of saving water.
