Thanks for your feedback ,it is unlike any other additive and i am glad you tried it most who try it can't put it down
I can definitely put it down, I don't use it every day but the one thing it has been helping with more so this week as well as the last few months is after a storm a number of my jobs usually near trees the glass seems to be getting a film on it the likes which I haven't seen in the past, it's almost greasy and won't shift with just cold pure water,

I cleaned 21 jobs yesterday and most of them had this film on the glass either just on one side of the house or both it seems to be becoming more of an issue the more storms we get, also if I haven't added it to my tank before I've left home I can easily add it to my tank and mix into the water by hand on a job, which has been a real bonus for me.


Additives won't be everyone just like hot water ain't, we all use what makes our jobs easier and benefits our working day.
 
I’ve had the same greasy glass from storms I think it’s from all the dry ice and metals cems there spraying in the skys to create clouds and rain been looking in to it this year and it’s shocking what’s happening

No idea about the cloud seeding, a mate of mine lives in big house and just one side gets effected and worse than I have ever seen, but there is 50ft trees in his garden so I put it down to something coming off the trees.
 
@Iron Giant have you considered using the peri pump stystem?, its a way that you can turn on and off using additives from job to job, it'll save you swirling round stuff in the tank for one or more jobs.
I had a quick web search but didn't come up with anything conclusive relating to wfp, please enlighten me.

To add the swirling in the tank on the job I mentioned was needed just because I realised there was an issue with the windows, it was a bungalow so it was easily spotted, the thing is with this greasy film you just don't know which jobs it's going to be an issue with more so on high level windows.

I think you get a feel for it either the glass and dirt is repelling the water or it doesn’t and you see the dirt going down the window if that makes sense

I'm assuming he means a peristaltic pump. Basically the liquid is contained within a flexible tube that has rollers to push the fluid out. I'm guessing that you could add a Tee into your reel hose connection and a 1 way valve on the tank outlet, that way you could pump the additive into your reel hose when required. I'm not sure how much pure you would have to push out of the reel hose before the additive starts to come out but it's a fairly easy calc. Not sure how you would work out the mix ratio though.
I wonder if there is a gap in the market for some sort of venturi device that connects between the pole and reel hose when you want to use an additive - bit like an X jet on a pressure washer. Where is @Skxawng when you need him :cool:
