Very inventive, but how in winter do you stop the delevery hose from freezing?

I notice it's PPB water and 'only' 4ppl in bulk outside of that London.

I wonder how they measure the purity of PPB??

It's the sort of service I might use if my filters fouled up for some reason or the water supply failed due to a mains problem.  Paying £25 for 500 litres is better than losing a days work.
Just doing the sums here for using it all the time.  It currently costs me about £180 a month for the means to produce pure water (includes waste water portion of RO membranes/pre-filters/resin plus rental of a small unit).  This doesn't include very rare stuff like replacing submersible pump and the other odd knicknacks that might go wrong.
Let's say £200 even, if I allow for a rare mishap.
For the same amount of water from Spotless, it would probably cost around double - and I wouldn't have my tool storage facility.
To me it looks fine for two types of window cleaner - (1) those who can't filter at home and have no access to a reasonably priced unit and (2) those who might need the facility for an occasional emergency.

very impressive !

I have to agree, the prices are on the high side, we sell water in Brighton for a lot less, £34 for 1000 litres, further discounts for window cleaners filling on a daily basis, we are in the process of opening up self service locations in Crawley & Eastbourne

Could be life saver some days to companies. Money wasted going back to yard n filling compared to a purchase from one of those tanks.

Very good idea.
