Never over tighten. Just put ptf tape on it and wrap it around about 8-12 times and just nip it up.

Remember, don't over tighten it.

Russ, studying your pics again, what poles did you go for and what sizes?

I bought most of my kit from omnipole.
The poles I purchased were their standard 6ft mini-omnipole for ground floor work
and their 24 ft powerpole for first and most second floor work.
They cost £57 / £325 plus vat.
The powerpole has the advantage that you can buy extra sections if you want to go higher.Think they were about £80 per extra section.
I am no master of the poles as these are my first ones but i am quite pleased with them as they do the job fine.
I also bought the sill brush but have not used it yet.
Hope this helps.
I will keep posting my days working/learning with wfp if that helps.
regards
Russ

into my second week now of wfp
slow start due to weather!
I am one of those that will not clean in the rain
little drizzle yes but rain a no no for me!
Anyway sorted my leaky pump with good advise from you guys
the ptf tape has done the trick.
I have now done around 30% of my round without much agro until yesterday
second house I cleaned the elderly gent came to the door to pay and stated he was not happy at all with the wfp system.
I spent a few mins explaining the whole thing and he agreed to give it another go next time but if not happy he would have to change.
Got a phone call this morning from his mrs. stating they were both over the moon with the results after it had dried ;D ;D
I am still using water with tds around 10 (waiting for my di to arrive friday)
I am still using lots of water and lots of rinsing seems to be doing the trick
I am also waiting for varistreams to turn up,
they are apparently on back order with williamsons!
anyone know who has them in stock as I need two asap
regards
Russ

Cleantec are sending me one.-a varistream- Monday
I've just bought all the kit but was indecisive about the poles. I think your choice was wise, I wanted similar with facelift(or brodex) but didn't have the courage to spend the money. Bought an unger tele untill I know what I'm doing.

nightmare day today :( :(
did a very nice set of 5 large houses in a gated community
all very expensive large houses.All have uvpc window frames.
Had 3 out of the 5 call me tonight complaining of messy windows.
One has said water had got into his vents upstairs and black muck has run down the inside of the windows narrowly avoiding his very expensive curtains.
others have spotting on almost all windows.
I will check them out for myself of course!
I have told them I will re-do them all on Monday obviously I cannot charge them again.
What do you guys do with these bloody vents.
It is the first time I have used wfp on them .
Do you soak them to get them clean and up to scratch or just totally avoid them always??????
HELPPPPP

I would be interested in answers to your vents question maybe it should be a new topic.
