Got through the day boys :D

Not having a split relay decided not too and was advised not too because i have a new transit custom.  I really don't mind charging it up anyway its no big deal really takes about 30 seconds....

Managed to do a full days work, no noticeable drop in flow rate either so just goes to show could easily do 2 days work on 1 charge if necessary.  Flow rate was on 40 on a Pure Freedom Controller.

Why do you have your flow so high ? Is that not just a waste of water !

I have mine on 70 using purefreedom as well. I also use 4 jets on the brush. The faster water flow means that you are able to rinsing at the same time as scrubbing which actually cuts doen on number of rinse passes which can mean a quicker clean making it possible to clean more houses in a day. I only use a fraction more water than when i spent most of my time in a day rinsing on a slower flow.

Thats what i personally have found anyway

+1
But.....

I find full whack with no controller is even faster
I'm considering not even getting out of the van and just spraying through the van window,  that would be even quicker  ;D

I've recently upped the flow rate on mine and it makes a noticeable difference to the speed of the clean. (Thanks Daz for a couple of your comments) What really surprised me was that you don't use any extra water. I hardly do any miles so I have a couple of batteries and just keep one on charge (ctek charger) and just swap them over every few days. I always carry a spare so no need to worry.

Lol, i also was thinking of a 2nd hand fire engine. Fill her with pure water and simply drive up the streets and let her rip!!  Easily get way more than 35 in a day then 😂

I agree faster flow means work quicker which means similar water usage. . . Which means 35 houses a day. Ok forget the last big.

You might be suprised with how much water you use on a quicker flow. If you have water storage at home ie, ibc tank and you work close to home. Give it a try on a higher flow rate and see. If you do run out, nip home for a top up.

I have 1000ltr ibc at home and a 500ltr tank in van. Takes about 5 mins to fill up from empty.  But thats regardless, as i never run out per day. I use flow of 70 because i use 4 jets and it gives an even spread of good flow. On a first clean i go up to 80.  But on a normal day, i would probably use 300 - 350 ltrs of water on a flow of 70. As seen on previous threads, i use a valve tap, by my waist on a holster to stop water flow between windows etc. Never ran out (unless i forget to top my tank up before i set off....done that once b4)

Wow, that works out at between eight and half to ten litres per property, we are not worthy. lol.

I guess i need to gauge my tank so i can be absolutely correct with how much water im guessing is either left in tank or amount taken out, depending on the pessimist or optimist reading the posts at any given time.

Dont want to muck up those equations  ;D ;D ;D
