I take it these have pumps to pump the water up and also how many houses can youclean with one.
If you you have a trigger like some have (would this be better to fit) would this conserve the water and thus make it last longer?

Also How much does a whole complete system cost? including the setup for home?

thanks guys

Between 2 &4 houses depending on what speed you set it on. You could also use it on a shopping trolley.
Bpac about £200 from Omni, Cleantech, Williamsons, Andwat. Filtration systems from £250 you will also need a poles £200 and other bits and bobs £200. All prices approx.

[Jago]

Thanks Darren very kind of you

I do not want to spend lots of money on trolly or van just yet but also do not want to kill myself either.
Can do the bottoms trad as that takes no time at all.

Thanks fella

is there any more?
;-)

[Jeff Brimble]

If you do bottoms trad obviously you will save water, I used to nip round the tops and the missus did the bottoms. I was at the end of the street before she had done a few houses. Its the fastest thing out there for many varying domestic houses. Or start at the back, round to the front, write out the bill and then do the back bottoms, you do get the odd drip though. So the less water you use the less to drip.

hi , forgot to say ..worked yesterday ,did quite a lot of work all ups with back pack while mate did downs
used ladders on 2 houses ..used 100l water wich was about 6 refills not to bad....

[Jago]

That makes sense Thanks
What prices did you tend to have in setup fees?
J

[Jago]

sorry setup cost was for Jeff

how many houses was that darren?

[Jeff Brimble]

Not sure what you mean by set up costs, did you see Reply 2.
If costs and issue get a backpack, nip over to Matts diy site and it will show you how.

[Jago]

cool thanks will take a sneeky peeky

[darren_smart]

did a high street ... 2 small pubs 4 or 5 terraced houses,(1 or 2 up & down)... .. then into a village  did about 14 average detached houses ... did a few leaded downs and couple georgen patios to......

[Jago]

That is good then Darren I do like the sound of this.
Do you think it is cheaper and better to  start with a Pack or if doing it again would you go straight to a trolley?

[darren_smart]

depends on how much you want to spend !  backpack is an excellent piece of kit to have ...and good to get you up and running.. my bro in law is going to  use his backpack all the time but hes a lot younger and fitter than me and  i need to  look after me back ! difficult to say wether i would just go for trolley now....cos i do like me backpack..... having both available is best.

[Jago]

Thanks Darren
