I have a three man team. We have 500 litres of water plus a full backpack and 25 litre drum. We have only used it all once or twice in 6 months. I always ask the guys to check their flow! I also say if you run out you will have to do it trad... I can understand its going to be tight on the busier days but I feel we do a great job and have a good rep.

all depends on your technique tho i suppose how i have my lads doing it we do use a lot but i insist on whole window being cleaned even underneath the cill i dont see the point in missing anything out when we sell our service as a whole window clean this is how we win a lot of our work

600/650 ltr systems in all our vans, most fo the time we find if you manage it properly you will have enough for the day, however we generally have one guy who trad the bottoms/puts tickets through and collects money whilst the other is poling the tops.
Varistream is normally set on around 4-5

2 man set up 1000 ltrs - usually use around 700 ltrs
1 man 400 lts and that is just about enough

We manage most of the time to be fair with two lads on 500 ltr. normally enough for around two retirements homes or something that size...
If we get low we just trad ground floor...
