Mark, think the shows you put together are great and again I'm taking someone to this year's show to help them get kitted out.

However,, why this random post?

Yep, I know ur a fan  deege 😁
Yet a random post with just a link to his vid, without anything else nor commenting on any other threads etc etc due to being busy with his mag, events n other things.
But Hman has been told the same, not just to post links to his vids and nothing else, but this is allowed? Equality n all, regardless of content

So many on here don't like H-man and his posts of his videos, rightly or wrongly amd many call for a ban.
Yet, Mark has done the same,  there's nothing but a link to his video and even the video is about his tank.
There's no getting involved in any other threads, the same has Hman.   Now I'm not trumping up Hman, but what's good for the goose n all of that.

Looks great mark, I’m planning something similar for my van. What kind of price was it? And how do you find having the weight at the back of the van? Does it make the back end sag?

NK -are you the number six or  number 4 ?

if you wish to be picky, and I know you are - one video of a custom tank is a far cry from 384 videos of bits of melted plastic pipe and cable ties - also I don't believe Mark has made statements about his tank being ergonomic and employer should "DO THIS" otherwise your employees will sue you

If I have the correct Mark, does he or does he not organise shows and events ? - thereby adding something the window cleaning community as a whole ?

Yes, absolutely the right Mark....... Many, myself included have benefited from the shows and many, many videos over the years on improving things, ie the DIY trolley.
 
My comment isn't against Mark as a character or as a person.
Simply asking why?   Ie on his trolley vids etc etc , they are very clearly aimed at showing ideas of what you can do and the dialogue suits.
Also his mag (if you guys have seen them etc) are the same.
However, this video is not, in my opinion which I believe I can have, feels like its not done or portrayed in such manner and as people's comme ts show, by coming to what they believe, his defense, which isn't required (by the way), simply because its Mark who's done so much for the industry and we salute you sir!

Haha, Lee P does the same and many revolt against him as they portray him as bigging himself up! 
(I mention Lee,  in the same manner so you lot don't start posting rubbish about being jealous etc etc, which it has absolutely nothing to do with it.   Simply saying many on here (ciu forum) , in my opinion have double standards.    Just another reason why SO, so many people opt to read rather than the same, what, 10 - 20 individuals who actually interact on this forum)

Isn't a tank a too big for window cleaning?
I suppose you could squirt water out of the gun though.

someone did post pictures of an riot control tank with water gun a long time ago - certainly get the job done - but maybe not as fast as Daz and his hot water system  ;D

Yep, me too. Why does Mark need to waffle in a thread ? the video speaks for itself. You're either interested in it or move on. Same as for H mans posts - you already know pretty much what its going to consist of. Don't like it ? oh boo hoo, so what ? its just the internet.

Title of the thread should read

"More pointless faff bought by bored window cleaner"

I know a lot of you chaps earn decent money but you must blow half of it on the latest seats, heaters, poles, tanks and reels etc. oh and get it on finance to boot.....

I got the tank made for me from this company  http://www.theplastictankcompany.co.uk/ the only reason I got the tank made is I could not find a tank with the measurement I needed because at the back I need to carry a steam machine and other bits which fit nicely into the size I have got left

Yes they do. the company has new owners but Steve is still with them. Here is a link to the new website. I had a phone call from the new owner on Friday and they are happy to take orders for W-F-P tanks from window cleaners.

Yes he does he has just made me two tanks first class job to he now works for a firm called Toolcraft plastics Swindon I would thoroughly recommend them custom made tanks with sloping bottoms built in site gauges , vented lids , two outlets per tank , they will build anything you want to your specification , took a couple of weeks from order and deposit being paid to them being ready for collection .

sweet set up it's more satisfying building you own tank to your own design, I did mine 8 years ago I found a company that made horse box water tanks , after several phone call the design and measurement . it was one of the most satisfying things I did and at same time I was lucky to be field testing and bouncing ideas around with Alex , it's been best 8 years of my life I enjoy tinkering hobby,

This is a softwashing system Ime building there are two 300 ltr tanks with sloping bottoms going towards the outlets so the tanks will self drain completely  , they also have opaque level gauges built in , and vented lids in each tank
