Sorry if this has been said already, but on the veolia central restrictions, regarding window and building cleaning it says:

Storage tanks
Restrictions apply to water drawn from the mains supply after the statutory notice has been
given.  So water drawn into a container prior to that date may be used for cleaning the
exterior of buildings.

(bold font added)


Therefore the use of a WFP system is not going to be banned.

The restriction is producing the DI water from mains/hosepipe.



I'm not 100% clear on this but... it also states that:

If a building can be cleaned by permanent plumbing then it is still a permitted activity. 

So maybe if a RO/DI system was permanently plumbed in (ie not just hose from garden tap to RO system) then maybe the water production could be carried on(?)

But how much water can you store? thats going to give you an extra 2 days max

Just to clarify:

The hosepipe ban is now in force for 20 million users.
I've read some threads saying you can clean domestic but you can't clean commercial, or the other way round etc.
Just to help anyone who may be getting mixed up, these regulations are written to property owner, be he commercial or domestic.  They are asking the property owner to refrain from using a hosepipe.
We, as  windowcleaners can go and clean the windows of a domestic or commercial, or any premises, it's our livelihood.

yawn yawn.....!!whats all the fuss about?

just carry on as normal.if you want to trad the ground floor windows then do that.

it simply doesnt affect businesses.you have to go about your business and earn money!

i remember there was a hose pipe ban up here in the north west in my first year wfp.i just carried on and no complaints off customers whatsover.

I NEVER EVEN GAVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT!!sometimes in life its better not to give a toss about some things.this is one of them IMO.

I too have been in windowcleaning a little while now, Dazmond.  25 years, the last 7 wfp.
You've repeated the same info as me, but I think mine may have been a little more helpful and polite!

[simbo]

Its not so much as how it effects us but i think some customers reactions will be negative because you are allowed something they aren't and we all know how funny folks can be. Interesting!! in fact i called anglian water yesterday to ask if i was ok to use mine as it feeds ro and told its fine but and logged it down in case anyone tries to shop me, FEEEEW lol

Too many of you are creating negative scenarios cos you're worried about the hosepipe ban. Just get on with your job and stop worrying.

[Tom White]

So, any updates on the hosepipe bans?

There was a lot of speculation earlier this year, wasn't there?
