You should try using Ungers 40cm solar panel brush on the large panes of glass, it's footprint is huge and it glides really easily on a swivel. Covers a window in a fraction of the time but you need 4 jets minimum and a high flow of water to ensure the glass is cleaned properly as there are lots of bristles splayed on this brush.

shame their website makes my head hurt 


did you know they do a 12 litre version as well 

I did. I might be mental but I ain't that mental

[Window Lickers]

Bum licker if you are using a high flow rate if you have regular
monthly maintenance cleans unless some dirty bugger has
crapped on the glass why bother rinsing at all surely the flow
itself from scrubbing should be enough.

i dont like to work with that ethic to be honest Mr Glitter.

Were I have found more water makes a big difference is nearly flat roof connies the dirt just floats off.

We did a roof we do on a regular basis with it yesterday, was a pure joy, an eye opener, it was like a river. Super-dooper


2 conservatory rooves tomorrow, should be interesting.

i have a 400 tank, if i had my pump on full i would be out of water by lunch, dont understend how you can work with pump on full

or am i missing something

The 10 LPM pump will also be drawing more current, especially at that rate, so your daily battery usage will increase.

I have had failed pressure switches myself
Apparently the new Vyair pumps have a built in pressure switch which is more robust, according to the man on the phone at Vyair

the 10 lit a min pump I have is the new design sorry to say they are no different to the old one s  as far as quality switches go. The only new thing switch is covered and so it will not be knocked of as the old ones were.
The best way round that will be to fake a bad switch and get them to send one and keep it as a spare.

I have always used Vyair 5 Ltr  pumps and have just upgraded  to a 650ltr tank,  maybe now is the time to go for a new 10 Ltr pm pump.
I would think that I am going to need some serious battery power though,  as I don't use a controller  and I would think that this setup would drain batteries PDQ.
The benefits sound worth it.
I could always put out some fires along the way if need be with all that water flowing,  ha ha

The 10 lit pump draws 8 amp so quite a bit more power, but running for less time I still use a 100 amp hour battery.

[slap bash]

Using this 10 lit pump did not make a big difference to fan jet as they offer to much resistance to the flow and the Psi is still 100 psi, but with pencil jets the flow is much higher as full flow. I run my 10 liter on a controller so only use it at 3/4 but can turn it up when needed.
 I know the 12 liter pump  is a 120 psi this might force the pump to cycle or force the fitting on your hose and pole.

What I don't understand is what your getting on the glass every four to six weeks that needs a power
washer to remove it.
Is this rural properties that are getting bombarded with snail trails insect poo and bird muck that we are talking
about or something else ?
I actually cleaned a mates 5 bed detached in under 5mins with a one and three quarter litres per minute flow, done it just to see how quick it was possible for me to go if I really wanted to. ( Didn't include unpacking and packing equipment )
Asked his wife and him to check them and did they find them acceptable which they both did, wont lie there was a small
amount of spotting but it wasn't caused by lack of flow.

Thanks for that slap bash
I have spare pressure switches from the older Vyair pumps,  are these interchangeable with the new covered switches?

No it was caused by degraded rubber seals on some of the frames, normally I would take more care with these.
But don't get me wrong even then it was only a little and would take a very OCD member of the public to find it.

Perhaps you should try it one day and see what happens.

Nothing, there's no power washer being used. Same pressure as the 5.3 LPM pumps.

No.



This is about speed not quality of work. It means you can clean the glass and walk on immediately the glass has been scrubbed - just about.

[slap bash]

NO, sorry mate the new switches are smaller than the older model.
