Ive seen the residential cleaning kits that you plug in to a tap, apparently there just for the individual to clean their own conservatory roofs or windowws. What im wondering is can they be adapted so that  you can just take them round and clean all the backs of houses by plugging them in the taps.?
I know the use of resin will be high but it will be worth it if youve got two men working on one house.

What if they haven't got an outside tap or don't want you to use it if they have

Why not look at getting a backpack

The resin cartridges would work out too expensive in my view, your best bet would be to get a back pack and a ro unit. 

You can get anywhere with the back pack , its a great piece of kit

I also use a 125 litre tank for other jobs.

As for the price of resin, its a business expense, the tds readings here a quite low, 60ppm, so a bag of resin lasts me around 2 months.

A friend uses a backpack, which he transports on a little trolley, they are a good idea, although 17 / 18 litres of water doesn't seem to last too long.

i bought the ionics residential kit a couple of months ago for conservatory roof i had to do. Took me 1/2 hour compared to 1 1/2 hours doing it traditionally a few months before. Brilliant kit!
I have also started using it to do the tops of a few accounts where (since i've read about wfp i've lost my bottle a bit being at the top of a triple ladder) the windows are high up.
Trialling a new system i tell them, feedback appreciated.
I have saved so much time (50%) using this but factoring the resin costs makes the job uneconomnical using di only. I always explain this so the customer doesn't think i'm taking it lightly.
Apart from the 1st time when i did a poor job due to not enough rinsing, i have had good feedback from all. I've always told them i'd be back the next day for money as i want to check results are as good as i'm hoping.
Everyone has been supportive of me using this so far.
But i'm near beccles suffolk and i have gone through 2 little £30 di canisters on about £180 worth of work. I have saved about 4 hours on this amount of work though the 1st time i did a bad job i took an hour the next day finishing off with a scrim.
Am not upto £20/hr traditionally on most of my work so it has cost me a little more financially. But i have trialled wfp this way now and will get a RO + backpack shortly.
Overall i think the residential kit is a good starting point and with the knowledge gained from it, the (expensive) cost of using resin around here it has been a price i would happily pay in the short term.
Have got to admit though, it was disheartening to see the speed of the resin changing colour so quickly.
