Question:

How much water will I need for a days work


Answer:

This depends on a few things, what system you have, what method of switching on/off you have, what type of windows are you cleaning, as with domestic opposed to commercial.

On domestic cleaning you can say you will use roughly 100L in 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
On Commercial cleaning you can say about 100L per
1 1/2 hours
And large all glass areas 100L per hour.

On domestic work you are constantly switching off the water while moving from the front of the house to the back, and also when adjusting the pole from second storey to bottoms.

You have to remember though that while doing commercial windows you more than likely have to clean the insides as well, so a 1 hour job may only mean about 20 minutes with the pole, and 40 minutes working on the insides.  another thing to remember is you can clean much more windows per hour, than you would have done with the ladder.

I have been asked in the past if a particular system would work for 8 hours in the day, as the customers particular job is an 8 hour job.  What he didn't realise before he asked the question is the 8 hour job is not going to be 8 hours, it will be nowhere near that with the pole.

Forgetting all of the above, and a good guide to use is, one and a half hours per 100L
