the idea is to make a much as you can per litre of water you use

I've heard this said before but I disagree, as water isn't a limiting factor in what you can earn.  The limiting factor for a one man band is the number of hours you work, so what you need to maximise is profit per hour and, by implication, per day.  10p/25p/50p/£1 per litre means nothing to me.  £X per day does.

IT'S A LIMITING FACTOR IF YOU RUN OUT!!

So the more hours you can get out of the water you are carrying then
generally the more you will earn per day...like i said maximising the potential
of the resource

IT'S A LIMITING FACTOR IF YOU RUN OUT!!

I'm not really interested in the "potential of the resource", as I can't spend it.  Profit, however, is something I like to maximise, as I can use it to buy beer, food and hard drugs. I maximise profit by cleaning well as I can as quickly as I can without regard for the amount of water I use.

I don't run out of water.

Then you dont have aproblem. .my point is perfect that there are plenty who
do run out before the end of the day..the easy answer is buy a bigger tank
which you might need a bigger van for which potentailly uses more fuel and
could cost more insurance tax etc.

there could at times not in every case be an even easier answer learn
to use the water most efficiently without sacrificing speed or quality helping
to maximise the profit you makr in a day.

Ah, but Vin lives in a wee bubble & assumes everything outside that bubble is the same as inside it.

Doing what you suggest is the correct answer but just too complicated for some!!

I have a valve which I always turn off between windows that will definitely help.
I'll check and see what flow I have

[bobplum]

i also use an aquatap on my system to keep water usage to a minimum.
As an example today i cleaned 23 houses, approximately £260 in earnings and used  approximately 250 liters, started at 8.45 and finished at 3.00, with two 20 minute breaks, i run on 60 (psi) pure freedom digital controller .
I personally find the faster flow rate helps me work faster, maybe its psychological, am sure you could get the same results with a lower rate, i dont know, each to there own, but it works for me, also i am using hot water at the moment

The thing is Bob your not using a high flow, with a high flow you couldn't achieve that output.
Example at 3 litres per minute that would only give you 3.7 minutes of wash time per property.
I think we all have different ideas on what we think a high flow is.

I think you're right.

[jonboywalton75]

High flow!!
I cleaned the same amount of houses approximately as Bob
I used 400ltrs
i have an Aquadapter
my flow is high      I think 

[jonboywalton75]

Oh and I do rinse as well

That's 14 minutes per house none stop.
