Hi Van the Man,

Changing to WFP - what a great idea. I did this about 6 years ago and have never looked back. From the sound of your post you seem to take your business seriously so making the switch should be done in a professional manner.

Do not waste any time or effort with a trolley system, go straight to a decent size van system. If you have the space at base/home then a static tank with delivery pump is the easiest and most cost effective way of producing large amounts of pure water. Then all you need in your van is a tank, pump, hose reels and your selection of poles.

"Do you get what you pay for"

'Not always'.  When it comes to producing pure water it is actually a very simple procedure, there is absolutley no benefit (other than lack of set-up hassle) of spending a penny more than you need to. Pure water is pure water.

When it comes to pole choice the answer is 'most of the time'.

"Do you need a 2 man crew for Wfp work"

No. A single operative will work just as well, but why not maximise your profit potential and have 2 WFP users.

I have to agree with this man.

Hi Van

All i can say about the wfp way is what i see from my office with all walks of window cleaners coming in from one man and an estate car to corporate companies,

The choice of system depends soley on your circumstances, cost shouldnt come into due to very attractive leasing options.

One or two operatives, its up to you although we deal with customers that have one operative and will look to acheive around £150-£180 aday from wfp or with two operatives £300-£400 aday from wfp

now if you have two men trad doing £200 a day then one man will do that with wfp thus saving you wages

the choice is yours

Hi Guys

I purchased a complete system from pure freedom 3 months ago comprising of:

30ft glass fiber pole
8ft glass fiber pole
sureflo pump (100psi)
varistream controller
100 mtrs microbore hose and reel
250ltr flat tank
200gpd R/O

all for less that £1000 inc vat

The poles are streamline which i have seen most suppliers selling, both with Vikan brush heads.

I have since purchased a 1000ltr ibc tank for bulk storage.

My only fault was that i wish i had purchased a larger tank for the van but was limited by the weight as i operate from an escort van. And also changed the supplied pencil jets to fan jets as i found them better for rinsing down. A colligue who has been in the business for 30 years now operates a Tucker system but is so impressed with my purchase that he has now kitted out another van with the same system with no complaints.

My advice is to shop around as most companies appear to supply the same components with astounding price variations.

As for customers, I have lost 0 customers by using the WFP. Most have actually praised the systems ability to clean their windows. But as others have stated I maintain my water quality to a TDS of 0ppm. That and good rinsing is the answer.

My opinion only
