Hi all, My current boss is making my life hell at the mo. I am really interested in going out on my own and being my own boss. So i thought id look into window cleaning as a business. I am after some advice on getting started super quick and drumming up some work in double quick time.What equipment I need. Was looking at WFP. Have been looking around the site for a couple of days and am not sure on a few things so if someone could explain in real basic terms what I need to get started and a basic procedure and advice for starting from scratch. What is this di and resin etc?? I am a total newbie!! Help!! LOL!!

Hi Steve welcome to the forum, the first thing you need to do is get a TDS meter to find out you ppm of your water if it's soft a DI vessel filled with resin will purify your water if it's high ppm you will need a RO system. Mine water sits between 110-130ppm and I use a DI vessel.

I think if you have no kit at all you would get set up for around £1000/£1500 I would suggest if your a going full wfp to get a van mount forget backpacks and trolleys

I would get it all from one place because the connections can be tricky of you don't know what you looking for, the main thing are baffled tank, pump 100psi preferably, pump controller (can buy these as a package, DI vessel maybe a RO, a water fed pole a battery( leisure ) split charger for your battery to charge off your van 100m micro/minibore hose and reel Something to secure your tank down with then all your connections.
Can think of anything else
