The salt backwash is for the Water softener I believe. You can fill a DI container with water softener resin but after x amount of water has passed through it, the water softener needs to be backwashed because of the build up of brine. Automatic water softeners automatically regenerate the resin.

Smart system. Welcome to the world of hot WFP. You'll love filthy new cleans with it

NWH has the figures about right.  Well, anyone can see how much I paid just by looking in the catalogue I guess, so I dont mind telling.  It goes like this, the system i got is 600 litre pro-6 thermopure which costs about £9,300 depending on exactly how you have it configured plus a bit extra for fitting, can't remember off hand but about £550.  The van was (if i remember) about £13,600 making the total package cost just under £24k.

On 5 year finance this works out to be somethin like £580 a month.  Now something to consider is that you have to add VAT on to that monthly fig, but I am already in the process for registering for vat so that wont be a problem for me, but if your considerin something like this you need to take that into account.

Now compared to the money that can be earned from window cleaning, I do not think this is a big amount BUT i have a word of caution.  I am in this for the long haul, and i am already established and building up more and more commercial work, so I have justified some luxuries like hot water and a new metallic van and air con etc.  IF YOUR A NEWBIE DONT DO THIS!  Start with something more basic like cold water and a 2 yr old vehicle until you are nicely established.  When you have the work then you can justify the added nice things like hot water.

so there you go!

Good advice Tennent.

Even though I personally am a bit "anti-ionics", I have to admit it looks great! I am (slightly!) jealous!

Is the heat adjustable on that system?

 

[TennetClean]

Looks great, but how does it work?

You lock it up outside your house with a hose connected to a port and it stops automaticaly when full?
You connect it to a supply whilst working?

Do you still have independent water production at home and will you still use it?

I take it the heater draws diesel from the main tank?

They changed the tax rules didn't they, so you can claim all of it this year if you want to. That'll knock the bill down a bit.

Sorry discount missed your questions, yes you have it right, you park it up outside your house or in the garage or whatever connected to water supply and it fills up overnight and automatically switches the water off when its full.  You dont have to connect it to a supply while working, but i suppose you could and it would fill up a little bit while your doing work.  You could do this for commercial work if a tap was available and its gonna be in the same spot for a few hours.

You can have the option of either a seperate diesel tank for the system, or it can draw from the main fuel tank.  I went for it taking diesel from the main tank because I didnt want to have to fanny around filling two seperate tanks.

I dunno about those tax rules, if thats true it will be very welcome!

If you use a separate diesel tank for heating water you can use red diesel at half the price. Minimum sale of 200 litre drums or a bundi tank (double skinned) (approx £700) so it can be filled up by a fuel supply lorry straight to your tank at your premises. Worth considering since the cost of fuel is ever increasing. However the bundi tank has to be installed on a solid flat surface that meets a certain requirement which the fuel companies insist on because of waste contamination.
Total outlay for bundy tank would be recouped within 12 months by the saving made on the cheaper diesel.

You got the best van too.

[Jimmy1]

Great system and van.  I'd have loved the hot system, but as I was new got the pro 6  (love it) and do a salt backwash, found it strange at first but once youve done it a couple of times - no problem.  ENJOY!

[LWC]

nice one tennet, well pleased for you mate, look after it

[Ian Rochester]

Tennet,

That's exactly the same system we got off ebay a couple of month ago, same van and everything.

We paid £10,500 for it as a repossession.  Took me a month to get it on the road as it wasn't taxed and I had to send off to DVLA for a new V5 document.

All up and running now and I must say from our short time with it, it is a phenomenal system.
