  2. 2Lower pressure and a fan tip on softer surfaces typical of rural village layouts in PL21
  3. 3Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on rural village gardens
  4. 4Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped Ermington sites
  5. 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on moderate elevations in Ermington
