Yes mate, it is a brilliant job, and it’s not until you try some of the building trades that you realise how easy and stress free window cleaning is 👍🏼

Its not been bad at all, would prefer a tad warmer but window cleaning is easier in winter than when its red hot for sure, can work faster with a higher TDS as well.

Today seemed warmer than yesterday. Tomorrow might be a slow start. -4 and hoses and connectors start to freeze. Oil filled radiator is going in the back of the van at 9:00 tonight.

It shouldn’t stop anyone working even with a cold system.

The biggest concern with temps colder than -2° isn’t the system freezing, it’s leaving patches of ice all over the place and that risk doesn’t change with a hot system.

I’ve a cold system and have lost a total number of 0 days work in the last 10 years due to frozen system or hoses.

Rather you than me mate.......😁👍

I used to get frozen jets using a cold system in this weather....annoying......also I needed to keep the water flowing all the time or it would freeze in the hose sometimes

How often in the last 10 years Daz, has the daytime working temps been below -2° during the working day? I can count on one hand.
