Water usage ?
« on: May 22, 2013, 10:07:48 pm »
When you are pressure washing domestics, do you use the customers water supply ?

Looking at the water usage of an average pressure washer ( 15 litres per minute ) if it is a big job, and the customer doesn't have a supply, what do you do ?

Sorry for sounding thick  ???

Do you travel to India to PW ? I've never been to a customer that does'nt have running water ! If you mean by "supply" an outside tap then just put your bsp/hoseloc adaptor onto the washing machine tap - its 3/4 bsp

No matter where the job is, it requires water to do that job, I normally fill my 1000 Litre tank 1/3 drive to the customer and hook up to their outside tap then clean, Regardless if the customer is in or out, one way or the other you need water to get that job done.  :)

Thanks, I have been looking at buying the pw units attached to the mobile water bowser trailer units, as I thought it would be easier just to hook it up to the van.

That is what I need to work out really . . . . how long the job will take.

I wouldn't worry too much about how long the job will take, -that will come with practice-  Just make sure you have the water supply and of course the tools to do the job.  ;)
