That tank is going to kill you pal. And your wife.

Someone was telling me how he regularly carries 1000 litre ibc's in the back of his transit connect full and that he is still able to do a ton on the motorways and  i dont think he straps them down. And no hes not a window cleaner. At least this guy is making some effort to secure his tank.

Can I ask why you have so much water? Even when I have another operator with me 500ltr is enough on commercial all day, and that isnt with it trickling out at all. I use a decent flow rate because it helps you work quick and too much flow can cause problems ( little like a pressure washer, knocking dirt everywhere ),Luke

Yikes! great pictures good to see you both out cleaning but that tank? I wouldn't want to sit in front of that particularly because of it's height, it's going to be pretty unstable. I carry 650ltr in a flat tank and it's strapped to the chassis with the biggest straps i could find. Seriously i would look into changing that especially if you carry your little one in the front too. Wouldn't cost too much really.

Great pics mate, i,ve been using a backpack on a trolley for a few years now and love it.
But lately i,ve been picking up work 3 storey houses with steps and i mean steps to it ,
so i have  added  a pump box to my main tank . my question is from your first pic  i see only one hazzard sign is this all you need to cover your self if some one trips or do i need more than one thanks martin

The Job I was on was an old residential house so not a lot of people walking about, If I am doing domestic I first stick the hose down on the side of the pavement so its not in peoples way, When I have to go across the pavement Thats when I put the sign out next to it, But can I suggest you get one that the wind does not blow about.

As you can see I have an on and off switch and thats all, no way of slowing the flow down I go through 500 litres a day

Will have to sort that out soon

  I see! Luke

It is a water butt , But it is baffled, The frame that goes around the tank is bolted down to the vans chasis and the straps pull it down.. As for the height, well there are window cleaner companies that use 1000 litre tanks and they seem fine..

About 3 months ago I had to do an emergency stop, Now everthing went flying ( Tools, Cds Toolbox ) but the tank did not move a inch and I mean An emergency stop ..

But why take the risk I will have the tank looked at and thank everyone for they concern for me and my family  

Glyn

Will be off line now untill tomorrow

Thanks

Yeah I would def double check how well secured that tank is - I mean an emergency stop and a head on are two entirely different things - people tend not to die in an emergency stop.

Nice pics, nice bloke. Wish I could be that laid back, if i'd have done it it would have been more steve k style- how long and how much- but there's more to the job than that, so thanks for sharing.

Saying about the house being nothing special i bet lots of people would consider it their dream house.

Don't worry about the strapping down by the way, the 1000l Ibc isn't going anywhere.

you shock me 1000L not going anywhere I would not like that weight behind me in a crash

Quality!

Cat, check that the rear of the tank is properly secure, if you have a head on it's going to try and lift upwards and onwards. The tie down hook points in those vans are pretty feeble and so is the rating of that strap. We can't see much detail from your picture, not knocking you, just worried

Well it's only a ton of water.  Just pop into the phone box before driving, put on the Superman outfit, and you'll be just fine   

[alanwilson]

why no signwriting on the van??

Tanks not safe, and look at the wiring under the pump! water + electricity DONT  MIX
