Experiment
« on: January 06, 2016, 04:46:07 pm »
I work with my controller on full asnd have no shortage of water. From today I am stopping rinsing other than where I can see it's needed. I'll kepp going until I get complaints. There is so much water coming out in the scrub stage that I think it may be a waste of time. Anyone else work this way?

I did try something like that years ago.  With a very high flow rate, you can get away with it most of the time, but sometimes it leave spots.  A bit hit and miss, but I suppose you could revert to rinsing  properly at jobs where there is a complaint.

I don't be bothering with a controller, I scrub up all the frames and glass and then go over the glass again a bit slower holding the brush on the glass to rinse, works for me

I do pretty much. Just a one pass method. Controller is not quite on full but not far off it, only time i lower it is old wooden windows. And suprisingly the increase in speed can end up with you using actually less water even though you are at (or near) full flow.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Only I could see the odd stubborn bit than needed flowing to the bottom. So now I clean top edge 2 passes, then up down, move on brush width, up down etc. Then
 a very quick left to right, rinsing to the bottom

i've always worked like that ,
i started with backpacks which seem to be either dead weak or dead fast flow . now i've got a van mount i use it on 80  & as you say by the time you've scrubbed it there's no need to rinse

That's what I do, but with a pump on full flow I'm questioning whether it's necessary. After I've scrubbed, water continues to run down the window after I've finished anyway. As I say, it's an experiment.

do you not think your working fast enough 8weekly? ;D

i also work with a high flow and im very happy with my efficiency day to day.brisk but steady 6 -7 hours a day.

however rinsing is important esp on the bottom half of a window.your risking leaving dirt on the glass for the sake of a few seconds rinsing.

Ruthless and efficient has turned into "brisk but steady" ?  ;D

On a serious note, anyone only has to do their own house in double quick time to find out most are probably over scrubbing and over rinsing. Your owns always the best to try out first.

You need to worry about the top half of the glass, custards don't check the bottom half.
