Hello,

1. RO is currently running at about 50/60% waste - is there any system that greatly reduces this or even eliminates this?


2. Hot water question.. Is it 100% necessary in winter or can you do without it? If you can do without it then how? Reason being I have just gone WFP over the last few months so spent quite a bit of money, and now winter is approaching im starting to think ill have to spend even more!

Thanks

will be my 7th winter working with cold water....its only
the most extreme of circumstances when you cant

hot water freezes as much as cold, so if its that cold
that the water is hitting the ground as i clean i give up.

you could put salt or grit down as some will advise but a lot
of my customers have fancy drives and wouldnt apreciate it.

warmer hands and nice supple hoses are nice but not necessary
but i would imagine there are greater advantages to hot in
the summer when dirtcan be baked on.

great thanks,

do you take all your equipment out the van at night to stop it freezing up?

No you don't have to do that. If you have access to an electrity supply, you can plug a heater in and leave it in your van overnight when temps dip to below freezing. I have an electric one, some others will recommend an oil heater. Just leave on frost setting.

Yep i do have access but as i still live at home ill have my mum yapping in my ear about electricity bills so would rather take it inside hassle free. Get enough greif over the amount of water i use...

You can work with cold through the winter even at zero degrees but it's not pleasant

We are quite rural so if it's lower than minus 2 and icy I feel it's too dangerous to go out in the vans - carry salt/grit but check with custy if they want in spread over the path before hand.

Even leaving at home you should be paying your share of the bills just give M&D an extra £5 per week much better than the hassle of unloading all the time and if the van gets frozen you can work anyway plus the damage to RO filters etc will cost you far more than heating the van overnight

Should be living at home and if the van gets frozen up you can't work
