2 man 350ltr who advised you to buy that size  in the first place you’ve just about enough water there for 2 men to clean all the windows at Legoland.

[jonny thompson]

Not that I was interested in your view, I always buy 2 men set ups, even though I work on my own, in case one pump stops working, if you price up your work well you will be surprised what 350 litres will earn you, enough for a 19 year old to turn over £250-£300 a day

[Smudger]

I think what Nigel was trying to say (in his own way) 350 ltr s as a 2 man operation wouldn't get you through a days work -  I wouldn't get 350 to last for a single operator.

It's good policy to have a complete back up on board tho, I do the same with my vans but with a bigger tank in case they  go out 2 man for the day

Do you know what I’d do make my pump accessible so I could swap it out and change it within minutes,a fair bit cheaper than buying a trailer with a tank 2 pumps and controllers you haven’t got any inside share price information have you 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[jonny thompson]

Fair point, I see plenty of 350 in back of vans, it’s a great set up and will suit certain window cleaners, for my son he could pull it on his car insurance at no extra cost, he started at 17 years of age,turned over top daily money for his age, he has probably earned £60thousand in the 18 months he has had it, it easy earns you £250-£300 a day

Jonny just my sense of humour m8 not having a dig really,yeah I don’t disagree but as you know you can’t beat going out brimmed no worries about the pump being flat out I hate having to watch how much water I’m using till late in the day m8 that’s all.
I can never understand someone buying a small ionic system for all that money if they choose them,if they spend that kind of money might as well buy it with a big tank.

[Bin Juice]

350 litre tank withan  RO on an erde trailer cost £6900

[jonny thompson]

Unfortunately yes

[NWH]

Again not knocking you Jonny that is a lot of cash for that m8 with that size tank or any tank come to that.

2 grands worth of hardware in the picture.

[jonny thompson]

I know these companies charge well over, but they are all full at the moment, of course the practical ones can do it at cost, but obviously a lot can’t or don’t mind spending the money, the profits it’s earned in 18 months is huge though, for my lad it’s been a game changer

[NWH]

I don’t mind spending either Jonny although I would say it’s a tad over the top but if you’re happy who cares m8,I don’t like the full DIY route I know it’s easy enough but I’d much rather have someone put it in for me.
I like the look of the Ionic V4 thermopure lol I just wouldn’t want to give them the money 🤣🤣 although it does look a really good quality product you can’t deny it tbh,as far as WFP systems go they are Roll Royce not the poles I wouldn’t want one if they were giving em away lol.

[jonny thompson]

True I’ve had ionics my self at the start, excellent product but very expensive, I’m about to have a cleaning warehouse  system put in a van, looks good but still £3500, the above has been excellent, the auto flush is excellent , is great for a newbie or someone doing less, who doesn’t want to pay for van and insurance

[NWH]

Yes I didn’t realise the insurance reasons makes sense I know it’s not needed something like the extent that Ionic’s go to but like I said it almost looks like a piece of 🖼 Art.
The main issue imo they have is the maintenance and service hassle the fact that you have to take the system to them in either Chelmsford or Swindon would be a no no for me,if you have a problem with nearly all other systems you are able to keep it going yourself and that has to be the deciding factor when buying one.

[Smudger]

Hence the reason for 350 ltr tank - the whole thing has to be under 750KG

From what I understand it’s almost impossible to insure there trailer systems that’s why ionics stoped making them , they were being stolen to order years ago ionics did the small trailers and also the bigger ifor  williams 4 wheel trailer systems I did look at one  when I first went wfp but decided against it .

[Smudger]

I looked at trailers - mainly for pressure washing but all these young'uns are not longer allowed to tow a trailer on a van without an extra test - which when I last looked cost just over a grand 

Cheaper to put them on a dedicated van

I think (not sure) you may tow a trailer uptown 750 kg in a car without having a seperate test if using a car

Yes that’s right my licence covered me for trailers anyway because Ime an oldie and took my test in the 80s but I have HGV C& E or class one if you prefer the old version , my daughter is a paramedic and had to take another driving test to drive the ambulances cannot remember what class it was  , it’s just another way tk get more money out of the working mans pocket

[jonny thompson]

He can tow 750 kg on driving license, we did manage to insure trailer and system for theft and damages for £150 a year , not bad at all

[Spruce]

350 litre tank withan  RO on an erde trailer cost £6900

Those Erde trailers aren't cheap. By the time you've got all the optional extras you would need like the cover you could be in for £2000. It's still not a braked trailer either.
Xline charge a premium for their systems. Add another£1000 for the r/o and it still needs to be fitted.
If you work in a hilly area never uncouple the trailer to turn it around. If you do you have more balls than brains.

My lad is 45 and he just took his test before the new regulations came in so he can drive a 7.5t van etc on his car licence. Nowadays they can only go to 3.5t.

You can tow a trailer with most cars up to 750 kgs gross. There is also a clause that stipulates the weight of the car in relation to the trailer weight. In other words you couldn't tow a fully laden 750 trailer with a Smart car.
I towed a similar trailer system when I first started wfp with my Suzuki Carry van. I had to carry 100 liters of water in the van as ballast plus my weight to make the combination road legal.
The moment I got out of the van the combo wasn't road legal.

Spruce your right regarding the price, trailer top, electrics, spare tyre it all added up, we will definitely be taking a hit on it, but it has earned him great money in a short time, as it will who ever buys it

Nothing made of metal ever appreciates unless its vintage. It is certainly a consideration for someone without a van and a secure place to store it.

[NWH]

Yeah I was thinking that if you don’t have anywhere secure to store it I can’t see it being around for long lol.

[NWH]

Pikeys love a trailer.

[Bungle]

Do you ever shut up?

[NWH]

Not normally

[jonny thompson]

Sold didn’t take long👍

I saw a transit with an Erde trailer on the back cleaning on Friday. Thought it might be your nipper Jonny.
