How much did your system cost you, for the operating basics, such as vehicle, tank, pump, reels, poles etc, dont include RO costs; just interested in the basics to be able to compare costs of getting the water out of your house to the glass.

initially less than a grand,but extra stuff (spares etc,which you need to carry) and mods to original set up pushed it over that
i also bought a van after a couple of months cos the old astra could not cope with the amount of water
i wanted to carry
if all goes to plan i will get a tank fitted this year (sometime ::)) and will then have the option of trolley or van mount ,which also means it is a two man set up that can work (in a limited way,i will admit) at two locations :)

Mine was an exactly £2.500 Pure Freedom fitted van mount but I haven't voted as there are 2 options for £2500. I am not trying to be difficult.

I started window cleaning almost a year ago now, (wow can't believe it's been that long) after being made redundant.  We obviously needed a van and system at the same time.  I can't remember the exact cost but it was about £24k (included a new renault trafic van), which we leased with the system over 5 years.
