Like the title says some things i hate about wfp i will list them in order of annoyance and hope that the suppliers will pick up on it.
Before some bright spark supplier says you should have bought one of our systems, most have my parts have been purchased of household name wfp suppliers.
Now in at number 1.
The thing that is really bugging me at the moment is the connectors pulling off where the hose connects to the pole hose every time i move, i have tried hoselock , the air type fittings, in fact in six months i have had at least 10 differnt fittings and they still pop off.
2 . the same fittings not shutting the water off after they have popped off, especially the air type fittings, i have to keep shoving a screwdriver in the end to try and make the stop part activate, most of the time this fails so i just have to put the end in my bucket to prevent my van being soaked. At about a fiver a time its not funny any more
3 Microbore hose swelling up like a sausage because of the inner layer failing, to prevent the swelling i put a small cut in the outer layer to release the pressure, the biggest problem with this is you normally get a wet leg with the constant hose leak. this has happened on 2 hoses now
4 . bristles on brush heads that decide that they are just going to collapse and lean to one side making cleaning difficult on one edge of the window, i have gone through 3 brush heads in 6 months, these so called mono filament brushes from 2 top manufacturers, no thank you, i am going to try something else.
5. poles that dont lock tight enough so they decide to swivel on you when you are 20 feet in the air, the problem is worse on the gooseneck poles, this is most annoying when the gooseneck spins and you nearly shatter someones window, this has happened to me once and it cost me £30 to replace a small pane
6. filling the van every night and forgetting that you have left the tap running until one of the neighbors tells you there is a swimming pool at the bottom of the street.
I will be a bit quicker now
7 changing resin
8 spots
9 getting soaked when you have to stand close under a winow, it always seems to be one of those window ledges that just makes the water bounce all over you
10 snail trails on windows
11 paying stupid money for parts that are clearly a rip off
12 manufacturers telling you, you can easily double your income(dont make me laugh)
13 customers faces when they have never seen wfp before , they look at you as though you have just pi55ed on there shoe
14 losing the button on my variestream only to be promised it would be replaced and 6 months later i am still waiting
15 getting a phone call every month from a guy with a scouse accent asking me if i want to buy another crap pole for even more money even though i say no every time.
I could go on and on and on but i think i will give others the chance to fill in the last few or however many it might be.
Rant over
