    Hope this is ok but I have a few questions about your set up. 1) How big is your shed? 2) Is it a concrete base and if so would you say that this is necessary? 3) Is the shed insulated and if not..how do you protect your RO system etc from freezing in winter? Thank you so much in advance….looking to create a similar setup for our family business.

    • @CrystalCleanWindows

      Thank you for asking firstly. I can’t remember the size I will check tomorrow but I think it is 6ft x 4ft. I had a double door fitted at the front so I could easily fit a IBC tank through.
      I have a concrete base was advised by the guys that did my shed. That’s a fair bit of weight and wooden floors will rot when you have some water spillages.
      I have insulated the shed myself to protect the membrane from freezing. To be honest it was fine before I had the shed insulated.
      In very cold weather I disconnect the hoses from outside and bring them inside the shed after draining them. I also in very cold nights out a oil rad heater in there on low.

    Great tour and explanation of your setup. Do you have to thread the hose through the floor rollers each time or do you have a way to keep it at bumper level ready for next job?

    • @CrystalCleanWindows
      @CrystalCleanWindows  2 роки тому +2

      Thank you 🙏 yes i have to pass the pole hose through the roller guides each time. Pretty sure there is a way to achieve what your after, but i was worried the connectors would get grit from the road in them. I like to work with the van doors closed, so it doesn't take long to set it all up.

    • @ched999uk
      @ched999uk 2 роки тому +1

      @@CrystalCleanWindows I agree that keeping connectors out will lead to them getting damaged. I wonder if removing a bit of rear door seal might allow pole to be in it's holder and hose through door gap to rollers. So always connected ready to go, might need a way to stop reel unwinding.

      +Dom thank you for asking, I haven’t had a problem with them in the last 5 years since I had a system installed. Sometimes they are just simply very busy when you phone but you can leave a message & they will get back to you. Also you can use Facebook messenger to get in touch, handy to for showing videos of any problems your having.

    Those under floor hose guides should be at an angle to the road / van instead of straight down and across and out . to prevent friction ..
