Got a small round which I hope to have up to about 400 houses soon. All trad. But can see the logic of wfp. Safety, ability to work on own and quicker?
Whats the drawbacks. Is it quicker and would it be worth preparing / cleaning frames trad prior to switching.?
Also how do you go on with flaking paint on wooded frames and staining that presently I scape off.
Last questions.... second hand or new and would a trolley system be best.
Cheers Craig
Ps how long does it take to filter the water needed for a days work is it instant or are we looking at hours?
the only draw back really is that the first cleans take along time, my work is 4 weekly and and ive just started my last week of first cleans today, its taken me 6 weeks to get this far.
It will be quicker in the long run, but its best not to rush just to be quicker or you will make mistakes.
Wouldnt bother preparing the frames when doing trad, all you will do is spend long when doing your last trad clean, and you will still need to clean all the frames tourghly on the first clean with wfp.
I find flaky windows come up ok, but need more rinsing to get the paint off the glass.
Regarding secondhand/new trolly/van mount, all depends on your budget, how quickly you want the system, and what sort of work you have. really a van mount is best if you have good access to the rear of houses as you dont have to keep loading and unloading the trolly and changing containers, but there will others on here who say get a trolley. If you can afford someone to supply and fit a system in your van, i would recommend it, i got mine from the cleaing warehouse, after contemplating doing a diy and im glad that i had it fitted as i know nothing about the systems, you also have the backup of calling the supplier for help if you have a problem.
Filtering water depends on your RO and how much water you need, if you go for a 300gpd, that takes 24 hours to make 300 US gallons, so about 1000L, but my 4040 RO produces 650L in about 4 hours
