well Andy thanks to your tips ave had my first full day as wfp cleaner am feeling very confident in my ability and all the glass is looking great plus had some great customer feed back my pole is quite heavy but ave ordered an ionic pole so hopefully be better to use next week
Reeeaally informative video mate, really appreciated!!
Brilliant information thanks so much
Thats good going price wise! I wouldn't get under a 27. Carbon 30/35 would be nice. I watched your video on the one shot. Very handy piece of kit. I love my trigger though for being accurate and not getting runs? I'll maybe make a video about it. Thanks for the videos though its all good info.
Very informative Steven, im currently at this stage in my business where im having to expand, my main business is traditional only but would like to offer WFP as well. Im also based in Ireland but up North.
Thanks for your comment jake. I'll have to look into the one shot remote.
The CLX is still a basic pole I agree. Its still heavy enough. What price is a SLX 27? What do you think to the van mount setup? I priced up parts singly, and because of living in Ireland there wasn't much of a pricing difference. Maybe in mainland UK there are more options?
Hi, new to waterfed systems, I have a Mercedes vito van so plenty of room !! but I run another business in which the van is used, Ive seen a compact system from window cleaning wearhouse which is 325L? with built in flow rate, pump, battery and hose real and DI, for that and the R/O and booster with DI is £2450.00 inc, is this excessive or about right?
Hey Steven, you happen to know what the specs are of the pump in the setup? Basically litres or gallons per minute and psi.
how do you manage with a trailing hose? trip hazards act.
Hi do you mind me asking were you got the trigger from on the pole and how much, cheers
Hi Steven, I have a very similar setup but would like to know where I could locater the trigger system you have on your pole as I'm sure will be miles more efficient
Hiya, Can I ask : is your van like a fiat fiorino / citreon nemo / peugeot bipper type ?
Steve how often do you have to buy new resin mate ?
Nice1 mate , fair play to ya ; )
I know it's a stupid question but where do you get your ring water to because I know it's different all over the country can you recommend some to me
Is that tank bolted to the sub frame of the van ? If it is not, it is illegal and extremely dangerous ?
I know this window cleaner who knows you very well and he said you put a drop of whiskey in your water it stops you getting spots on your windows I have heard this other window cleaners and it works very well do you use a drop of whiskey in your water if you do can you tell me what you think about it thank you sir
Hi have been enjoying your videos.. inspiring me to make my own van system. .. I currently work for a company and provided a van.. their system is very bodged.. I have been having problems with my relay system to charge the battery controlling the window clean system.. battery currently isn't being charged by the van and have to charge it every night.. my question is where can I get a decent cheap relay system from and how much roughly are they to buy??
Hi Steven, I have watched most of your videos they have taught me a lot as I am just stating out, can you please tell me where I can purchase the trigger attached to the pole that controls the flow of water, as this looks like a great idea but I cant seem to find one anywhere, cheers Tim
I worked none stop all day two of us and we used 500 ltr and that the hoses going all day..
Hi Steven, Great vid. Just a quick question. I have brought a second hand set up but the previous owner drew water through the DI vessel - so the pump is situated after the DI vessel in the process. Looking at yours it looks like You have the water "pushing" through the vessel and after the pump. Which way is best?.
I far prefer it to push through rather than draw. What I found is that if the tank got below the level of the pump it would start to struggle to pull it through and flow rate was effected 👍🏻 when your pushing through it’s guaranteed. You just need to make sure your joints and resin bottle seal are good and tight for the pressure
@@stevenlee4437 cheers bud. I did think that, also should be easier on the pump, I'll swap it around
First is the sediment then the carbon filter then the big 40/40 membrane filter that should take it to about 7 ppi then the last filter will be the resin bottle that's how you get zero ppi water with the filters.
25 years this month I have been a traditional window cleaner and I have two questions for you. One regarding the Battery you are using in the wall mounted box.Judging by the depth of that box I am thinking its a small battery possibly a 12volt 7 amp back up battery for a house alarm. Can you tell me will a Leisure battery say 12volt 70 -100amp somewhat the same size as your van battery will fit inside the box or do you take the power for the pump from the vehicle battery?Second question, what is inside the Tank is it plain tap water or has that water been purified in some way and that resin filter brings the impurities down to 1part per million.I am on the verge of taking the plunge but I need to know what is what before I do.
Hi Keith, the battery is a small leisure type battery. It was supplied to me from Surecleansystems.com. Such a neat setup. I did have a car battery beforehand. But tidiness will save you a lot of heartaches and damaged batteries. Drop me any questions to stevenleecontractcleaning@hotmail.com and id be happy to help. The new system is difficult to get a good job with so I'll be loading new videos of best methodology this week!
Hi Steven,I've got a 500 litre tank and I'm getting a new van this week and am wondering where to get a frame for it.I don't want to start up half assed so looking at the minute but can't really find anywhere in Ireland that does it.I'm up in county down
Clark Wilson have you tried Surecleansystems? You could also get a fabricator to make it for you. Have a check for xline tanks- they don’t have a frame around the whole thing- but have a couple of metal strips going through the baffles
I've looked on their site but they don't seem to do them,I'll maybe give them a call tomorrow and see.Actually,I do suppose I could ask someone to make one up for me.
Wouldn't want to get hit by someone or go into someone while I've an unsecured 500 litre tank in the back.it would be goodnight Vienna,lol!!
Does your resin polish the water on the way out while your on a job or when your filling the tank?
Either will do depends on the set up.
Hi , im interested in starting up as a window cleaner and getting trained in using wfp .. I have a citreon berlingo van , will this be big enough to kit out with tanks and equipment I need?
check out Mark Munro he has nemo window cleaning van video, and squeaky clean dave has a video set by step guide to wfp set up
I appreciate what your doing mate, but the clx pole is classed as basic pole, you want full carbon really, most use the slx range, also it is much much cheaper doing the setup diy, almost half the price, so it's best to advise people that diy will save them a fortune, also you may find a one shot remote would be better for the water flow, the trigger is really not ideal, the most common used water flow devices are the aquadaptor and the one shot remote...
+12988Jake Not everyone can afford an SLX , who gives a shit if the CLX is a basic pole it gets the job done! and its what most people can afford. You come across as quite arrogant
i got 400 ltr tank £26 ebay two pumps. £20. Three second hand gardener poles £200... eight second hand brushes £160 two hose reels £80 two Di vessels all for less than 500 pound.. if it was new and fitted be £3000 mine works just as good my pumps are 100psi from china £10 each had them working for two years still going they do the same as a £120 pump.. Also i use my van battery only 3amp pumps dont leave them on over night other wise you will need a jump start been going years with this set up..
Hello, can you tell me what battery I can use?
What do you mean my friend use a Gardiner Pole if I use a Gardiner Pole my wife cannot do our garden she needs the garden Pole
Hi Dude, just wondering how many 3 bedroom semi detached or attached houses, on average you can do in a day with a 350 tank. Tempted to buy bigger but not if I dont have to
trust me go for at least 500L
I have no idea how you can work a long day with 350 L only ... I had a 400L before and always had to carry 25L canisters to top up the tank. Now ive got 1000L in my transit 280
@ to your question - personally a long day for me means from 730Am to 430pm and I do about 25 houses altogether a mix of detached and semi
normally 800L - that's how much water I use to get there
Stran I hey bud thanks for the comment. Have you a trigger or a univalve? I only ever use 300 liters on a full day, I've never drained a 350 yet even on the longest day (1 person)
i ve got a standard valve which comes with a gardiner pole - and i get your point here but I really think that even if I waste some water - is not more than a 40 L per day ?! or is it more ... might have to fit a trigger tho
Stran I I suppose it's all down to the time the water flows and also the pressure, my 100psi pump is normally set to about 40psi. Trigger is a love hate thing. We did an episode about it recently on our podcast- the window cleaning podcast- on iTunes etc
My dear friend that box you got in your van with the water pump in you do not want to bash it in your van do you think it will be better on your roof you can put it next to the solar panels
hello Steven am just starting out with wps after ten years traditional cleaning ave just tested my water from my tap in my house with a TDs Meter the reading Comes up as 0069 ppm would that mean the water is soft also if am cleaning 4 hours a day will my resin last me a good length of time I also have a 25 litre resin tank are they the best to use
Hi Craig, check out this link- its a handy calculator! www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/Resin_Calculator.htm
I've done a video on resin and RO too so thats worth a look- you'll find it in my channel! 👍
Cheers mate much appreciated
Hi Stephen did you fit it yourself
I fitted a two man set up all second hand gardinir poles 650 ltr tank tow hose reels 100 metra the lot for £600. probley £3000 if i got some one to fit it Also got a 40/40 filter set up zero ppm in my back garden that cost me £200 all up and running.
Carl, a 40/40 system for £200 that's a bargain, Did you also need to buy new filters though? Or a booster pump?
hi were did u get the trigger for ur pole thanks
martin bairstow Google "univalve" mate....triggers are old hat now the uni-valve is awesome
thanks mate
How much did that system cost you
I’ve added a lot to the system over the years- I’ve a newer video-
But you’ll get a new one man starter system (good quality too) for under €3000/ £2500.
If you never use more than 350ltrs per day Steven , then you must have your water coming out in a trickle or you stop work at 1pm! And your asking for trouble carrying an unsecured water tank !
JD this is an old video now man. I did one last week of my latest set up/ with a caged 650 2 man system.
Still using 350 liters per man... spotless results (we do a lot of insides too which saves water). You must be wasting a lot of time and water 😊
Good stuff ..,.........
I use close to my 500 litres everyday I work on a one man system and my pole is fitted with a univalve to save water.
Needs to watch video on "How to spell check you videos"
Ken Quesenberry glad you found value 👎🏻
@@stevenlee4437 I never said I found value
Ken Quesenberry Or understand sarcasm you troll
@@stevenlee4437 Who's trolling who?
Never run out of water..... You must be very slow then!!!!
Spencer j it's all about the trigger or univalve 👌🏻
