Being a carpet cleaner and a bit thick, do you just add tap water and go to clean? I noticed it has resin in it so that's what I have based my questioned on??

Shaun

PS How long is the pole?

[craig mcneil]

You put the tap water through the resin container and it comes out pure. So yes, you just add tap water and go out cleaning.

The pole is 24 foot long which gives an achievable reach of around 27 foot. This is enough for the majority of residential properties.

how do you get a days work out of it? Do you attach the vessel to the tap and fill containers to take with you? do you need to have a large holding take?
I might be interested but can 27ft reach 3 storey houses or do i need a 30 odd footer?

[craig mcneil]

You can fill containers to take with you or you can take the resin container along with you and fill up as required - it depends on how you work. The resin container comes with Hozelock connections so it's easy to plug into a tap as necessary.

A 24 foot pole could just reach the windows of a modern 3 storey house. With older 3 storey houses you may struggle. I can upgrade you to a 30 foot pole if you require for an extra £40.

How many fills will the resin take?

Shaun

[craig mcneil]

It depends on the hardness of your water supply. You will get anywhere between 1000 and 4000 litres out of the supplied resin. The resin supplied is Tulson resin which is generally considered to be the best you can get.

[ronnie paton]

do these come without pole??

[Shaun_Ashmore]

How about the water container? how much does it hold and also how many fills would it take clean a house ( you pick the size of the house)

Shaun

[craig mcneil]

Ronnie - If you can pickup then yes I can arrange for the package to be sold without the pole. Without the pole the package is £260.

Shaun - The backpack holds 18 litres. I'm a proficient window cleaner and can clean two medium sized four bedroom houses and have a small amount left over.

Craig would i need a holding tank to use this system?

[craig mcneil]

A holding tank is optional. The resin container is small enough to carry around so you could fill up the backpack at customers houses. If you don't fancy that then, yes, you will need a holding tank although you could use some 25 litre barrels instead of a fixed tank.

[Platinum NW]

How long does it take the barrels to fill?

[craig mcneil]

The 18 litre backpack will fill within a couple of minutes. A 25 litre barrel will take just a bit longer.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Is it a straight put water in switch on and go? do you have to charge the battery up? what do I need to know?

Shaun

[craig mcneil]

The battery comes charged up so yes it's simply a matter of putting the water in the backpack and then going straight onto cleaning windows.

[Dean Taberner]

looks a decent piece of kit for the price craig.

[craig mcneil]

It is. It's perfect for window cleaners looking to start up in WFP or current WFPers looking for an all in one solution.

For the beginners, note that if you pickup I'll throw in some basic training too.

[ronnie paton]

craig its abit far to travel unfortunately pal

[craig mcneil]

Postage isn't a problem either. I was just mentioning that training was available if any beginners were reading.
