WFP BASICS

[Cottonlung]

Hi people

I've been a trad window cleaner for 8 years and am currently debating adding wfp (the backpack style) to the business as I have the work to accommodate it.. however, I know sod all about it so just wondered if there was any books floating around that can help me understand the basics... I've had a look on the net but can't seem to find anything unless I'm looking in the wrong place...

any decent input would be greatly appreciated

James

Watch youtube vids to pick up the basics. The good ones explain how to wfp properly. I only jumped ship about 7-8 months ago and I can tell you that you wont go back to tradding jobs once you've got a decent wfp set up.

Whatever you do, make sure you get an RO (Reverse Osmosis) and not a DI (De-Ironisation Resin Only) system. I brought the latter and it costs a fortune in resin seeing as most of this country is very hard or hard water with high PPM (parts per million of solids). The RO is far more cost effective for producing pure water.

Go on: windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk - and read the guides on there, thats a good place to start. You can also buy the equip on there - oh one other thing - NEVER buy an aluminium pole. They are way to heavy and will murk your arms - thats why they are so cheap. Invest in carbon fibre, you wont regret it
