Chrisoleary - I have just purchased the Hydro Twister and a 4000 psi power washer.
Have not used it yet as awaiting IBC tank.
Does it do a good job and is it quick.
How long to do an average drive?
Did you just flyer places to pick up work?
Sorry for all the questions but would love a few answers before I start
Thanks Robbie - Clearshine

The flat surface cleaners are great for large areas although you usually need to go over the edges and possibly some cracks or heavy stains with the turbo lance but still a lot quicker than a lance alone. Impossible for me to say how long for the average drive as it depends on the surface, the soiling, the layout etc but try not to rush the work. In this line of work it is a bit like the hare and tortoise, you will get better results from taking your time and that will probably lead to more work.
Good luck.

Wheelie bin water tank - a wheelie bin converted to act as a header tank for the pump.
Some outside taps on homes are not suitable for supplying large capacity pumps so it is best to use a water tank to ensure the pump has a constant water supply.
The bin has a valve, filter and 2" hose fitted to connect to the pump. Wheelie bin makes it very portable.
Will try to get a photo of it tomorrow.
Equipment now on ebay.
Thanks.

Chris - Thanks for the info.
Will I need to have a submersible pump in a 1000 litre ibc tank.
The powerwasher produces 13 litres per min.
or will grafity feed be sufficient
Thanks Robbie

Just gravity Robbie, your pump will use a lot more than the submersible pump can supply.

Chris -  Thanks for that mate I was starting to worry about knacking the pump.
Pick my IBC tank up from leeds tonight and we start next week.
Going to have some practice on myt drive first.
Got a lot of clients wanting the service so hopefully it will go well.
Thanks again.
Robbie

Finishing today on ebay.

Any interest in the pressure washing gear if it does not sell as a whole?
