« on: October 30, 2011, 07:09:33 pm »
Hi Guys having installed by wfp kit into my van last week anybody got any last minute tips before i go out on the road with it tomorrow.

Carried out some test's over the weekend by doing my sister in law  ;D and my own windows a few times just a few spotted on the first clean and then improved once re-done today.

just checked my tds in my tank and it is 000 so everything so far looks good  :).

i found that first cleans with pole took longer than they do now, dont expect to save loads of time on your first time round. you WILL get quicker without losing results.

when you start your pump make sure the water runs smooth no bubbles means no air locks, this really applys when youve ran your tank dry and then fill up again, but it got me a few times when i started i was convinced my pump was knackered. hope your day goes well mate

My first clean tip would be to clean them once and then go back and give them another once over again. Since ive started doing this i have not needed to go back for a re-clean.
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

you mean clean and then reclean, inorder to avoid having to reclean? just take a little longer first time round! i have never had a complaint about spots this way either!

I agree.
We hear too much about rinsing. There's a brush on the pole for a reason- don't forget the scrubbing.

My advice - always keep a container of disinfectant in the van for those days when you get smothered in cat poo like I did today. All over the hose, my pole, my clothes, my gloves and the steering wheel not to mention my boots.
