1.7/2lp min, you must be on a job alot longer than me fella

How can you tell if you do not have a clue how much water you use?  ???

At 2lpm, you have a proper flow rate.

That would depend on which jets you were using.

If your using enough water scrubbing and rinsing on glass is all that is needed i find,some WC`s scrub and scrub and then rinse off the glass with so little water it seems to take an age to do just 1 window.Plenty of water and a good scrub covering the glass is all that you need on most of your work,i always rinse on with an SL or Tucker in the past type brush,i`ve rinsed on and off in the past an then looked at the results and there`s no difference in the end result in my experience rinsing off is wasting time and putting strain on your body resulting in golfers elbow etc.

Had tennis elbow for over a year tried just about everything including dog oil lol

the only thing that eases the pain a little is a glass of cider and a hot-tub turned up to 39 degrees

well thats what i tell the wife anyway

what setting do you use on your eco flow/ varistream ? I gues syou use 100 psi pumps

I will give it a test to see 2l sound low to me, I could well be wrong on this totally if I am will hold my hands up if I am, as said I clean water is a cost yes but not a cost i worry about as I have tanks in the vans to do as I want. Therefor I have not tested as I do not run out out water, 650l per van is plenty for one person I have found

Oh yea I do fully agree, I'm not on a water meter, so I don't bother too much.

Settings on the Varistream with the 100PSI shurflo is 9 for the shutoff pressure, and 3 for the flowrate. I usually use 2 though for normal cleans.

I don't understand why people skimp on water either, it takes so long. With perfect beading glass it's so quick if you have got proper flow rate. :)

woops, I think I'm derailing this topic a bit, sorry.  :-[  :)

I use 'Rinse on' technique (with brush head fitted with a decent swivel neck connection), to minimise wrists movement to reduce Repetitive Strain Injury, (putting pressure on tenons and ligaments unnecessarily).
