You need 600 min for 2 men,400 will only last 2 men 2 hours or so.

2 hours  ::)

I do agree with NWH though a 400L tank is not big enough for a 2 man set up , I would go 650 min

what area are you in, maybe coming to see one of us on here may just help you out a great deal, how much you will make will depend on loads of things, your prices, the windows, the state of frames, the location, the access ect ect ect , I am not trying to scare you off, but all of these things make a lot of diffrent on the money you earn, if someone told you you will earn more money from day one I would class them as a liar as it is not possible if you are doing a good job, it is like learning trad it takes a little time.

I am based in cambs/ beds border can I ask why you are changing to wfp ?
 
As for your prices I would not know how long it would last as you prices to me could be very very low or very very high. Some on here may giove yuou figures but it really does depend on your work and what you think is a good price so I would take it with a pinch of salt. I would say wfp is quicker after a few months on most buildings (not all)

2 hours  ::) ::) ::)

so a 400 tank will only last 1 guy 4 hours

it might if you are parked on a hill and have the tank connection unscrewed, i would check this out if i were you

400 litre should last one man ... one day, or most of it... some days you may drive home with some to spare... depending on the size and price of your properties... only you will know how much a tank of water will earn you ! ;)

2 hours worked not 2 hours sitting in the van drinking tea looking at the tank in the back of the van,if 2 of you are using a 400ltr and are working non stop it won`t last you a lot longer if your using plenty of water per man.

this is my experience of a 400 litre tank as well.
1 1/2 litre flow rate per minute is roughly 270 minutes of work. = 4 1/2 hours.

I was gonna say 3 and a 1/2 to 4 hours on domestics if on constant use on commercial maybe under 3 hours.  It does depend a lot on flow rate 1 and a 1/2 to 2 seems to be about right.
