Re: Will a 300 litre tank last all day for a 1 man set up ?

I ran a 400 as a one man. If working a long day I'd put a 25L barrel in the van.
Usually lasted but not always.
It's a game of three halves!

i would say no if you wfp most work.i have a 350L tank and it usually lasts me but i have 2 barrels as well some days so i have 400L.

I use a very high flow rate as well.you can work incredibly fast on maintenance cleans.

if your trying to scrimp on water with a lowish flow rate your going to be a lot slower which defeats the object of going wfp in the first place.

price higher/work harder!

I use at leat 800 litres a day, so my next van is going to have to be big enough to carry a 1000ltr tank, as I hate running out of water!!
on your own?  :o

Yes, on my own! I have always used at least 800ltrs a day, I always use maximum flow rate, in fact I got rid of my varistream ages ago and just have the pump on its own, and I do work none stop from 9am through to at least 4.30 without a break, apart from driving between jobs. I don't know how you guys manage on 300ltrs!!


how many houses? a day
Generally about 12-15 large houses a day, but I have a housing estate that I do, and have managed 45 small and medium size houses in one day before.

i also have a 350l tank and it does me fine, i came close to emptying it the other day but by then my arms were knackered and i'd had enough,

for houses yes but commercial no, my new van im going to fit a 600l tank in it but only because i do a few commercial jobs where i need extra water
