Hi Phil, good luck mateHi ace3
Good to hear your progress. I am just looking at starting up so it's comforting to see your progress & success at canvassing. What is your average price & what size of houses you doing?
With regards charging your trolley a friend of mine has taken the board of his trolley (I think he said it unbolted) so it can be taken in to charge & also uses it with a tank system instead.
wow are the £25+ really big houses? how often are you cleaning them? What area are you in?Hi Phil, good luck mate,
Hi Phil, good luck mate
I have some £10, some £25, some £30 and a £40 house, think my average is just over £20 a house.
View attachment 14352 View attachment 14353 View attachment 14354 View attachment 14355 Hi all, is there any way that I can remove the battery on my trolley and charge it so I don't have to lug the trolley in and out of my house each night?
I've taken a picture of the connections, any help is appreciated
Hi all, I was making some more pure water today and before I put the hose into the water butt I got a tds meter reading of 14ppm which I was shocked at.
I took the di vessel out and got a reading of everything separately
Water from tap = 320ppm
Water after going through RO UNIT =45ppm
After including di with resin = 14ppm
My thinking was that the ro is working well so I gave the di with resin a shake and after I did that I got a reading of 6ppm
I then took that cartridge out and placed a new cartridge with resin in that vessel and I am once again getting 0ppm.
Question is, is that how quickly resin stops being efficient? I had produced maybe 1000litres of water before this point?
Seems like it stopped bringing the water down to 0ppm really quickly?!
The pictures below are of the di which only made the water 14ppm and 6ppm after a shake.....is it just a case of buying resin and then emptying out that old resin and refilling again?View attachment 14359 View attachment 14360
Hi Adam, i remembered that you had struggled with getting work from newly sold houses in another thread, I hope you catch a break soon mate!
I have created an excel document to help with my canvassing as my plan is to get a perfect picture of each road that i canvass. Im Going to keep on knocking until i have an answer from each door on the street.
This will hopefully keep my round compact but also highlight any gaps in the market and possibly any issues with my pricing of jobs (if i get a lot of "no thanks" after giving a quote ill know my prices are possibly too high)
heres my template below, feel free to comment if you think ive missed anything

All you need is a tank apump a battery a switch a bag of resin and di vessel to put resin in then you will get a 000 readingHi all,
I am new to window cleaning and WFP systems but have been lurking for the last month or so and have been able to acquire a wealth of knowledge using the search function etc so thank you very much to all who post on here!
I am a wholetime fire fighter who is looking to venture into WFP window cleaning and create a round based on my time away from my main employment. I have been canvassing for the last week or so and have managed to secure enough business to justify spending a lot of money on all of the necessary equipment.
I intend on using this thread to detail my progress as i go along and also to ask you all questions whenever i am unsure of the best way forward.
My first question is based on water purification. I have tested my water using a TDS meter and the reading was 250ppm which if I’m understanding things correctly, means that i will need to invest in a RO system to bring that number down and then use DI resin in order to bring that number down even further to 000ppm.
I am looking to buy this purification system from pure freedom but am not quite sure if contains everything that I will need.

I can see that it has the ro system but what about the di needed to get the water down to 000ppm? Underneath where it says “add on options” it says “10" DI Housing c/w Resin and Bracket +£27.35” is this what I need to tick? Or is di and resin completely different?
Thank you for your help

OK. Judging by the di cartridge you have one of those RoMan type r/os. Your membranes should be removing between 97 and 99% of the dissolved solids in your water.Water from tap = 320ppm
Water after going through RO UNIT =45ppm
There is something wrong with your r/o. Your membranes should be removing between 97 and 99% of those total dissolved solids. Expressed another way, the tds of the pure leaving the r/o should be around 9 or 10. At 45ppm your are going to be using much more resin removing the 35ppm your membranes should be removing.
Even if you were using a larger di vessel, you will still be wasting money on resin.
What r/o have you got?
.
Hi spruce, user error, it should read 320 in 25 out but yes as you've said it's still not an acceptable rejection rate.OK. Judging by the di cartridge you have one of those RoMan type r/os. Your membranes should be removing between 97 and 99% of the dissolved solids in your water.
I think you will find cleaning the apex soffitts over the garage a challenge thb. I would have to look at working from an A frame step ladder.View attachment 14566 Hi all,
I was completing all of the houses I had canvassed and very last job a guy came out and asked if I could do his windows also....I told him the price was £30 and he was happy but then asked if I could do all of the soffits and fascias.....I said yeah and that I would txt him a price for the whole job.
I've never attempted soffits and fascia cleaning, bearing in mind I don't use ladders, can I still do it from the ground with wfp?
I've taken a google maps picture of the house, if it's doable would you guys mind helping me price it up please?
Thanks for any help
Thanks spruce, don't suppose you'd know much about using degreaser at all? I've used it on upvc and it works great but a few houses I do have white painted wooden frames and I'm wondering if I'd be able to do the same with the degreaser as I do on upvc?I think you will find cleaning the apex soffitts over the garage a challenge thb. I would have to look at working from an A frame step ladder.If you get the £30.00 for window cleaning (wow if we could only get those prices in the north east) then you would probably try for £60.00 for gutter and soffitt cleaning, so £90 all in. Watch out as he may think that clearing the gutters is included so you need to be very specific about what you will and won't do.
