Wouldn't worry about the battery, I've had mine two years and it's never gone flat on me, use it day in day out window cleaning, I just charge it each day but sometimes I forget and it's still fine the next day. It's bullet proof, just be careful with the controller. Worth getting a univalve for the pole with it as it works very well and saves having to turn the machine off when you're adjusting position.
How long did the pump last using the chemicals before you had to change it??
We have 3 nano trollys Ime guessing the oldest is about a year old , haven’t changed any pumps yet , we do flush them out after each use , they are used for hypo and virosol mainly hypo ,all have pumped many thousands of ltr through them as that’s all they are used for . I worked on the principle that the pumps cost around £50 so if I had to replace them after each softwashing job it isn’t a problem, but I have been well impressed with how long they have lasted , I know they arnt chemically rated I did ask pure freedom if they could fit chemical rated pumps to them and apparently they won’t fit on the nano as they are to big . But so far they have all been fine .
If you flush with clean water 2000 times the amount of chemical then it neutralises it, so the scientists in the fire service told us. The thing I like about softwashing is the price one can charge. PW then the customer thinks its all profit but softwashing they know the chemical is dear. I don't seem to have a problem pricing well for softwashing because I just tell them to shop around and I know not many folk up here do it.
I always flush my trolleys through with 5 ltr of water in an old screen wash container and that’s been fine
If you have ever washed out a plastic milk container. Put a cup of water in it and shake and empty out, on the third time the water is clear, so you have only used 3 cups of water.
I mainly use mine for windows using pure, but I have used it a couple of times with ubik and Screwfix degreaser but wasn’t sure if I should get a back pack for the chemicals to avoid damage. I’ve always used pure water after using chemicals so it gets flushed out. Just don’t fancy forking out for a backpack.
Ubik etc won’t cause any damage even if left in there so just give it a quick flush and it will be fine
Ime sure it will be fine if you flush it out ours are only used for chemicals , sometimes all day for a week at a time with hundreds of ltr of hypo mixes and still going strong , it also gives a much better flow rate than a back pack
I think a Gardiners backpack does 2.3 litres per min max where as I think the nano does 4.5 litres per min. Plus the nano is fully contained and built onto the trolley, so just lift out of van fill and wheel where you want. So no messing about securing a backpack onto a trolley etc.
The flow rate is much better with a trolly , you can change barrels quickly to a different mix or chemical,rather than having to empty a backpack but Gardiner back packs did us proud for many years they will do the job but much slower .
I see. I had 3 PW jobs on today and had to spray on hypo on one of them. If I had many more then I would probably buy that thing that works with the pressure washers. Went to quote for a monthly clean tonight and its around £25 a month. I asked how much the last guy charged and she said a tenner. I said no wonder he never came back its a 600k house. ?
Price of window cleaning isn’t based on house prices though it’s based on number of windows and how long it will take to do , if it were based on house prices I would be a millionaire ?????
So a 3/4 bed semi then
It's not even an old skool way in 22 years I've never based prices on house value, I think Scottish is a bit ? just don't tell him ?
