Frequently Asked Questions
All you need to know about pure water cleaning and telescopic poles.
A reverse osmosis system is more expensive to purchase initially as there are up to 5 filters for the water to pass through in the filtering process, but the running costs of producing the pure water will be reduced by up to as much as 50 times, bearing in mind that reverse osmosis filtration relies on some water going to waste in its filtering process.
As a guide, resin in an FH1 vessel, which is the most popular size, will treat 2,000-ltrs, resin in an FH3 vessel will treat up to 5,000-ltrs of water and resin in an FH4 vessel will treat up to 8,000-ltrs of water at an ingoing water measurement of total dissolved solids of 100ppm.
The reach takes into account the fact that a person can hold the pole at waist height, sometimes even shoulder height on some of the smaller lighter poles, giving an extra 3-4 feet reach to the extended length of the pole.
People often try and cram the largest size tank into the smallest vans. This is dangerous and could render the van over its specified weight. Consider the tank size in litres and turn this into kilograms, as 1-litre of water = 1-kilogram. Add the weight of the equipment and the average weight of the number of persons the van can carry (2 or 3) to the tank size, allow for a full tank of fuel (50 kilograms?) and this combined weight should not exceed the vehicle’s payload capacity.
The definition of PPM (parts per million) is the number of molecules or chemicals that make up a million-part total solution. It's most commonly used to refer to chemical substances like water. As a result, we have a number of filter options and recommend using a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) monitor to determine the amount of dissolved particles in the water. We measure the PPM because it is known that water with a 0 PPM leaves windows streak-free because all chemical substances have been removed.
You can operate the Honda GX engine up to -15 °C with no detrimental effect on performance.
The benefits of cleaning windows with hot water include the comfort of working with warm rather than chilled water. Hot water also cuts through dirt, snail trails, fly spots, spider webs and bird mess, making the job easier, helping with first-time cleans and improving drying conditions for a deeper clean. In winter, warm water also helps keep pipes soft and systems frost-free so you can keep working year round.
No, however leaving the engine exposed to wet weather will encourage corrosion.
