It might be a pain at the moment but you will naturally learn to use less water the longer you use wfp.
I would avoid doing the bottoms trad as some of your customers might expect you to continue doing this after you go back to wfp'ing all the windows.
The best place to start would be turning your variflow down a little and getting used
to it and then try a little more and so on.
Buy a trigger for you pole could be a sound inverstment in the meantime. When i started wfp i had the same problem sometimes. As a temporay measure I kinked the hose to stop the flow between windows and walking back to the van.

Im in Eastbourne, on the sunny south coast. I have actually just bought 2 triggers for my poles, and have seen a pic of the finished job, but does anyone have a step by step guide to fitting trigger to pole....Thanks

95% sure Matt will know or Joe/jeff they are very good like that.

[ronnie paton]

wots the numatic george trigger? were from and how much?

[williamx]

I have started using WFP for just the upstairs windows, due to the fact I keep running out of water, and waste 30-40 mins going home to fill up.What do you do and why?

Lee 

what size tank do you have lee? and how long does it last you

250l and  3 x 25l jerry cans...lasts til just after lunchtime 

Lee

How many houses do you clean in a morning because you are using 325 litres, which most cleaners find will last for 1 1/2 or 2 days

[ronnie paton]

I dont agree that iit will last 1 and half 2 days but i can prob scrape a day out of that.

Most my windows dont sheet so the the flow needs to be quite high!

Best place I've found for the trigger at the mo is on eBay. Item number: 130126212792
The watersop connector to fit it also on eBay. Item number: 230158331652

Before fitting it to the pole, carefully remove the tubing attached to the front of the trigger.

Fitting it to the pole is a piece of cake. Most of the pics I've seen of them on the net aren't complete. They don't show the mounting bracket that comes with them. It's clipped off the picture. They're made to fit on the tube of the numatic george carpet cleaner so they fit nicely straight on the pole. I've strapped mine on using large cable ties aquired from Maplins. The mounting bracket has two slots iether side of the mounting bracket which are perfect for slipping the cable ties through. I've fitted a third on the front of it for extra support but this is probably not necessary.

When it's fitted to your pole, in my case down near the base, extend the pole fully before cutting the pole hose to the required length. Leave yourself a reasonable loop of hose before cutting it and attaching it to where you removed the hose that came with it. The connector on the input side is a quick release one. If you want to use this (I found it very useful for transporting and carrying the pole) you'll need to purchase the above female waterstop connector. If not, then remove it and replace it with the brass connector taken from the end of the black hose you removed from the trigger (discarding the ball bearing valve from inside it).

Here's the pic of mine again,



Hope this helps,

Probably about 7, this seems like not nearly enough out of this amount of  water, so i'm gonna play with the flow controller,and try and install a trigger this weekend. Still learning too, but want to get it sorted as it's costing me time and money

Thanks

Trigger can be set up without it but your hose will be permanently connected to your pole. Though you could make this a short length with a 6mm adapter to whatever hose your using to transfer the water to your pole. See pic.

Ahh I have 2 poles, 24ft and a small one for downstairs, so a quick release option seems like a good idea

It is real quick! Mine weren't connected directly to my poles for more than a day before I purchased a quick release connector. Didn't like having all that hose hanging round my pole when carrying it either.
