How many buckets of water?

0. Washing up liquid bottle full of soapy water, use it to keep applicator damp. Reduces spillage and water getting on sills. If using a bucket 1 will be more than enough

 
I'd use hardly any. I carry 1 litre of water,and 500ml eco washing up liquid on my belt. Add water to applicator (preferably outside)then a couple of blobs of soap,and good to go.
I top up water maybe 3 times a day,and soap ,once a week.
Obviously the less wet you have applicator ,for internal work,the better,as easier to control the dirty water coming off the glass then.

I don't use a spray bottle, just ready mixed solution in an old washing up bottle. I do carry a bucket, with clean water in so that I can rinse applicator when dirty. Small squirt on applicator and crack on. As I use a liquidator I need it quite soapy, and just using a bucket I was using a bottle every 4 days!

Apologies,question was meant for mike and cookie above,who both use the spray bottle technique.
Yes I use liquidators too,unless I'm working on wooden framed windows,then I switch to s plus channel, with razr rubber.
I mix solution as I go along,so no premixed,I add soap to applicator and water separately as I need it. Works well.

I use a pump garden sprayer with warm water and a little dish soap. The nozzle can be adjusted to spray or stream. Really helps inside...less to carry around.

One cool box half full of soapy water will last me 3 days. 

Insides I use  small drinks bottle to damp the applicator... That little bottle will do a few insides.
