Nasty! Nothing worse than seeing pure wasted!

How'd you manage that, must have muscles of steel lol. Where did you get that elbow tap from? I happen to need one of those myself!

 

[peter rogers]

waste about 700 a week lol pour miltons in then drain next day then fill with pure

Cool I'll check out some farmer shops then thanks. Just seen you live in the lakes, lovely part of the world, but how do you ever get any work done? It rains 364 days a year there /emoticons/wink.png

I bought that one and managed to crack the elbow too!

 

[simon]

maybe theres a design fault then cos i know i never tightened it up that much

 

[MrBump]

Cheers simon that's perfect. However £25 for a little piece of metal is a bit of a rip off isn't it. Why is it that window cleaning shops always seem to rip us off? I bet if I found it elsewhere is would be a tenner or less

 

[simon]

i think if you know diy you can fbuild it cheap but they know a lot either cant (me) or are happy to pay mad prices

 

[MrBump]

Yeah its certainly easier to use window cleaning shops as its all conveniently in one place. I guess thats what your paying for. But it goes too far sometimes. Bought a new van tank the other week, buying one from a site that just sells tanks it was around 200 but from certain window cleaning shops I saw them for 400-500 for the same tanks! That I think is taking the ****! That all said I don't know where to search for that elbow nor do I have the time to go to local farming shops, so I will probably end up ordering that elbow tap next week anyway lol. So cheers for the link :thumbsup:
