grepin Member 109 Member For: 17y 10m 21d Posted 01/09/07 01:33 AM Share Posted 01/09/07 01:33 AM Hi all.I have a council letter saying I can wash my car with a pressure cleaner from a bucket.I know you can get cleaners that can do this but I am wondering what ingenious devices people have come up with?I was thinking a backpack arrangement either electric or petrol driven maybe.

Most pressure washers can suck from a bucket, drum etc.Been doing it like that for the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grepin Member 109 Member For: 17y 10m 21d Posted 01/09/07 03:05 AM Author Share Posted 01/09/07 03:05 AM How did you get this letter!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!Just spent 10 min writing a speal on how but it didnt appear.Basically a half dozen e-mails to council explaining how my pressure cleaner uses far less water than throwing it at the car and if I used it from a bucket I would still be in regulations.They didnt understand so I e-mailed the local minister resulting in a letter saying it was OK.I then discovered that my GMC cleaner wont suck from a bucket. Its only a small cheap thing given to me. I was thinking one of those old time fireman backpacks would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
