Hi chaps

 I know its a  bit of a how long is a piece of string question but to you guys who work individually do any of you have 300 litre tanks and do you think it will last all day ?

[SunShineCleaning]

300 is fine for me even on a longer day.

Hi chaps

 I know its a  bit of a how long is a piece of string question but to you guys who work individually do any of you have 300 litre tanks and do you think it will last all day ?

Yes.

But depends on how high a flow rate you use and how quickly you work.

As you said:  piece of string sort of question

[Ian101]

well put it this way yes it should do so long as no 1st cleans and no big connies etc

[john stracey]

I'm running a 350 litre tank in a kangoo i find on my busiest days i'll run out of water at 2 30 ish and have to run home for a top up which costs at least 40 mins time' this is slowing me down too much' so my next move when funds allow will be 650 tank in a hiace or something similar if your round is growing a 350 tank will probably hold you back, I do like to work with a high flow rate so less time on the glass.

[R.C Property]

i run a 400lt system from my van, and always go back home with water at the end of the day,

[DG Cleaning]

I've got 400L no flow controller it does me all day. If I had a few first cleans I might struggle.

[Smudger]

I'd go for a 400 ltr anything less is running a risk of not finishing a decent days work

What darren said. I never ran Out when had 400 litres while on my own in 4 years.

[Mike #1]

400 litres is better as you can never fully empty a tank and will always have 50 litres or more until you start drawing air into system . Mike

I think flow rate is the answer here , i used to run 250 and a 175 linked up so 425 in total .
With these i worked a full day and went home with naff all left every day .
I had my flow set at 80.

I then took my second van off the road and had a 350 spare , i put this in my van with the 175 linked together which gave me 525 i then decided on a higher flow and upped  the flow to 95 , i now work shorter days and earn the same and most weird of all never have to open up the 175 !

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!!

[P @ F]

You must be using 12mm pole hose and hozelocks as your jets

on your own? 

[home6442]

I waste a lot of water over cleaning and 300 litres
would do me a day no problem.
On first cleans I manually clean the frames that saves water.

on your own? 

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!!

[Mike #1]

I use 1mm jets which are exactly 1mm and can have a powerful rinse with lower flow rate , I usually have varistream set at 22 , But in freezing temps it is up to 28-29 . Mike
