no wind up from me

yesterday and the day before, pump wouldnt work, the hose pipe was solid and you could see the ice in the hozelock connection

my sill cloth was folder over the edge of my bucket and that was solid and i had to pull with all my strength to get my mop out of the bucket

last night i put my spare pump box and mop, brush and hose in the garage, so i was allright

If your using anything plastic ie hoselock fittings you will have problems,theres massive gaps for cold to get into the water that`s in there still from the days work,system john guest fittings,hose micro-minibore fittings and no freezing problems at all.

cant get the hoses in tho or a ro system..... get a couple of blankets over them... it protects from jack frost biting.. try it.... i even thought it was warm when i touched them after lifting blankets off.... no expense spared here lol.

Get a diesel heater, i turn it on 15-20 mins before i go every morning, keeps the van dry & if there is anything frozen it sorts that too.

Alternately, stop imagining it and start work on time as usual. ;D

I really don't understand how you lot are getting frozen kit. ???
