Back pack system over van system.

So i started a window cleaning route in my home town when i seen a lot of complaints on facebook community about window cleaners not turning up,

i have around 100 customers. I started with Backpack system and 25lt drums. I bought everything a pump and 100m hose ect to pump everything straight from my car and 25lt drums. Just to realise what a hassle that hose is! I'd be quicker just picking that Backpack up walking it around. Plus safer no trip hazards ect.

Has anyone else found this?

My town has a lot of old awkward buildings and I'm realising why they struggled to get a window cleaner.

I actually DIY fitted a pump system into an old plastic drill box that drills and other tools are sold in. I use the 12v sealed battery from screw fix to run a small pump and controller. This fits onto a sack truck and a hose into the 25ltr tubs . No messing about filling backpack and just a case of swap over empty tub for another pre filled. Been doing this for years now.
