Not much waste water from wfp! Your having a laugh gary911. Some of you wfp bigboy professional window cleaners use around 500 litres a day compared to my 3 bucket fulls cowboy trad cleaner. Maybe you could fill your tanks, trolleys and backpacks half full with concrete so you can show your custies that you dont use that much water.

Nice comeback birdy!

I think the "resistance" will come form Doris and her friends.

You know the type - a hosepipe ban will be a wonderful excuse for her to cancel with a "not this time" and she will just say that she doesn't want to have water wasted on her windows. If you press the point she will say she can't have all that water wasted when her neighbours are watching.

Responses:-

"I use rainwater that I've harvested previously" (Just about true - the water started out as rain and I harvested it by turning on a tap after it had been through a massive treatment works)

A sign on your van saying "The water in this vehicle has been collected from Wales where there is no hosepipe ban." (Sort of true as Bristol water sometimes take water from the Severn which of course started out over Wales! )

Also I'd be prepared to do bottoms only - trad - if really pushed.

this time next week we will be up to are  arses in water

dont panic

Posts like this make me sick  First if the water company is so concerned about the wasting of drinking water then why not fix all those leaks I see, There is one by my grandads it has been gushing out for the past month  ( the water not my grandad )

Second trad window cleaners waste more water than we do  : When we turn on the R.Os the water is taken from the resevouirs some is sent back to be cleaned the other is to clean windows and do a better job than those scraty taty trad guys ....... But a trad winodw cleaner will just fill his bucket up so less water is taken from resevouirs and the sun evapourates it WHAT A WASTE and they risk falling off a ladder..

If trad window cleaners can carry on when ladders are baned then so can we carry on if there is a hose pipe ban 

Every time I see a trad window cleaner I think of this











So we have water on this planet and thanks to the proper window cleaners ( WFPs only ) it will not just be in a resevouir evapourating and doing no good

And those traddies mix it with detergent which the treatment works uses "millions" ⁽¹⁾ of litres to wash out.


(1) Slight exaggeration for effect there BTW .

cant weigh you up Malc,you got the ladder out in winter

[Rob.Hall]

If their was a ban I wonder what would happen if a wfp w/c went back to trad and fell off the ladder causing serious injury.
Could their be a case for taking the water comp to court for loss of earnings for forcing him to conduct his  business in a dangerous manner to provide a living?

Where'd you get that from Stan?  

[woody1]

I think you are all mad
as your using the water for buissness the hose pipe ban doesnt include you
also ladders are banned rubbish again please they are not banned end off its funny you see thease big vans about saying ladderless window cleaning because of the so called ban but why you still got them on your roof then idiots   grow up

Ok, but how many of us have rang the water company and told them we are using it for business and paid the applicable (higher) rate? We can't have it both ways, pay for the water like a house holder but claim to be a business when it looks like the house holder will be restricted.

All those relying on the fact yor are a busiess, how many have actually registered as a business user with the water company?

back in jan your post
I was pointing out that on Monday when I went back to trad for the 4 hrs I worked I did £75;

[Tim82]

i was thinking the over exaggeration would get a reaction don't have a go at me im not the one wasting everyone's drinking water  truth is its a ratio of about 4;1 waste to pure water but can change dependant on temp and tds of that area. im in the north west and have seen these reservoirs emptying since  dazmond changed over to wfp there was no talk of hose pipe bans before he got cocky and went for a 50ltr trolly

LOL!!!

This is a very valid point, I am lucky I work from a commercial unit so all my water, electric usage is billed to the business.

bloody hell dont wet yourself with your excitement

if your on about what i said mate iwas on about the production of
water which somebody mentioned 90% waste :

i actually use around 150 ltrs a day im di only so i dont produce
waste that gets flushed away and i tend to follow the jeff brimble
train of thought of conserving as much water as possible which
includes rain harvesting and i dont spray water around more than
a ltr a min. not only best use of your time is money but also the production
of water ,less i pay out more money for me

i tend to think i can thread an eye of an needle rather than smash
a nut with a hammer.i aint no splash and dash merchant but hey
thats because im talented

Nothing would happen because the ban is on sourcing the water from an area where WFP was banned.  They say you can import it from another water company area.
