My booster pump is 375 watts but no idea what it costs to run per hour , but it’s not going to break the bank

As its a mains pump its drawing around 1.5 to 2A an hour.

used twice a day  :D

Try 20 times a day and you`ll be lucky if it made its 1st Birthday.

Mine gets used 20 times a day and is 3 years old.

Isnt yours like triggers broom though ?  its an extreme 20 isnt it  ;D

I can only go on my own experience, ive had 2 and both poles i snapped both top sections within a year



Heavy handed  I think , usually get 15-18 months out of the  top section on a 22 that’s used 8 hours a day 5 days a week ,

I would say if you arent sure try to work out how long it will take plus cost of biocide.

I think the better question to be asking is how long will it take and go from there.

I reckon a day so £400 plus scaffold plus chemical, £500-£600 ?

Seems about right

smudger is missed ... he was great for this type of work.  lots of knowledge  :'(

I would spray with hypo and come back a few weeks later and scrape it. I would charge £500 but for a friend/customer then I would be happy with £400. I did one last year and bought a box set of scrapers from Spinaclean which fit a wfp. Did it from a ladder and scraped it down and into a bag, never again, hard work. In future I would use my scaffold but I mainly just spray and clearout gutters for £280 and my customers are happy with the job.

I know but when I looked at the general cleaning section, it seems to have Tumbleweed floating around. No one has posted their for a month  ::)roll

All sections of the forum have been slowly in decline over the past few years

Poor taste.

Mines is 2021 the cam shaft chain snapped. The newer ones all have 8mm cam shaft chain and there fine.

I wouldnt be touching one unless the 7mm cam shaft chainbhas been replaced with thr 8mm chain. As alot have been snapping. They have now admitted fault though. Mines snapped in november. And there only now giving me a courtesy vehicle this week as they haven't a clue when parts is going to be available to fix it.

Vans been fine apart from that.

It would seem at some point in 2023 they changed to 8mm chains. That's a heck of a lot of vehicles out there with 7mm chains!!! There's going to be such a backlog it's going to cause chaos. I ain't taking the chance!!
