Title: Fell off my ladder - WFP - Please Educate me. Thinking of a change.
Post by: darylmiller on May 20, 2010, 10:32:51 pm
I have a nice little round and its slowly building up, I am roughly around the £2500 mark a month and its all traditional, mop and squeegee work. I have always thought about changing to WFP for many reasons but never did.

Last week I fell of my ladder. Although the fall was only 6 foot I think I am lucky not to have sustained a serious injury, fairly minor cuts and bruises, it could have been worse as i landed back first on a concrete flower pot. had to spend a couple of days in bed in pain and did a little damage to the custys property which I've promptly paid for. - This has just made me think about how easy it is to fall. I have not had one accident or even near miss in 5 years, yet one slip and I had gone before I even knew what was happening.

Basically I would like to know how i can set up a little barrow with a water drum and with a pump etc to make a portable wfp kit i can move about quickly and easily, also what i would need to do the water...can you please help me see what i need and how to put it together and the costs involved?

Also I would like to know how you stop the black gasket from leaking streaks over the windows etc and any other things i may need to look out for.

Thanks a lot in advance.

first things first you need to find out the tds reading of your water then you can begin make a decision on what equipment you will need to get started.

then really you will need an r/o system to purify your water. What you need to do is work out what you actually want  and what you have, ie what size van do you have for carrying water, do you want to just pole the tops and trad the bottoms or pole the lot, your budget for gear, do you have room to store a tank and have a water supply to make the purified water if needed etc etc. If you don't need alot of water maybe there is someone near you who would sell you some.
