Title: Static system
Post by: poleman on July 21, 2010, 07:37:57 pm
Hi all

Aim in the market for a static system, I could build one my self but if I can find one at a good price then it will save time trying to sort this

I'm after a static system that does no more than 2000l and no less than 1000l a day

You help needed as spent a hour online looking with not much luck!  :-\

my static would be good enough poleman

twin 4040 with self priming clarke pump. does about 200 litres an hour.

how much you wanna spend? i guess mine would cost about 1500 to set up

If you dont want to build it yourself, then you will have to pay £1,200-£1,500 for the system.
I can build a system that produces 1,200 per day for £600

I am confused poleman!
First you say you dont want to spend £1,500 then you say that your looking at a system that costs £2,000 plus VAT, that is without a tranfer pump, hoses and IBC tank.

I remember seeing photos of your static system, producing thousands of litres per day, into 6 - 8 IBC tanks. I am sure you know how to put together a static system!!!!

Hello rob, long time no speak  ;D

Yes I could build one, but time is a problem now days! my personal life means a lot to me now and getting the work life balance is really important

yes you was right, at the time it was the biggest pure water system in the country but should think that isnt the case now

I know it is off topic but do you have any more pics of how this was set up ? i'm in need of connecting 4 ibc's

to be on topic a single 4040 and a good booster will make way over 2000 a day, I have a 4040 and a clarke booster on a single 4040 and it does this (will add the other 4040 soon, time is the key to happyness money just gives more options.. We are all ticking time bombs

Lol I only know as much as the next man!

system is still being used local to me by a local window cleaner! I could go and see it but brings back bad memories of when the business was big but the stress, not eating right, sat in a office and smoking made me very ill! all most cost me my life!

Things are good now and aim a happy chapy  ;D

here is some more images...

Hi steve, just phoned them and bit of a problem, if you added the booster pump then you have to turn it on manually! which is a pain as you would wont to just fill up the van and go to work and not stand around to stop when filled  :-\ the chap I spoke to said he will phone me back with a price for a solenoid but might not be cheap as 24v pump!

I Steve, at the moment pure freedom didn't get back to me  :-\ ideally would like one to fit in and no playing around with it! but if I have to add bits myself then aim better off going to gap and getting two 40/40 ro kit and do it myself! I have 4 weeks to get this sorted as that's when aim moving to my new 2 bed bungalow with a garage!  :)

Andy,

We're looking for exactly the same as yourself, need a plug and go system that can do 2-3000 ltrs per day, must have auto cut off, fast pump out good pure to waste ratios and not require someone standing over it every day

Just emailed Alex for some more info on the Titan 500 and options, let me know how you're getting on with yours.

I remember when you had your original system for sale and I was sorely tempted by it then, unfortunatley it was out of my price range at the time and I didn't have the storage area for it, I have now though:

Hi Ian, yes I do remember you asking about my old system, if memory is right it done 13,000lts aday! I couldn't sell it and ended up letting it go for 2k  :'( good luck with your new unit looks the dogs  ;)

My god, that unit is massive, would love to have the rates bill on that :o, can you fit all your vans inside that ?
Title: Re: Static system
Post by: Ian Rochester on August 05, 2010, 11:56:15 am
Window Washers,

It may be big, four times the size of our old unit, however we are buying it not renting it so the actual monthly mortgage is only marginally higher than the rent we were paying for the old unit.

Total meterage is 288m2 (3192sqft) plus a mezzanine upstairs which is around 100m2, downstairs is a kitchen, large office, three store rooms, ladies, gents and disabled toilets, plus the work floor which is just under 200m2. 

We should be able to get around 5 or 6 of our vans inside, but we're also putting up a 2m fence around the carpark soon so other vans and cars can be kept secure in there if necessary.

Part of the workfloor is going to be set aside for our bike hire business, part for the Furniture Clinic Franchaise and as for the rest, probably space for rug cleaning, maintenance work and other such tasks.

I think the full rates are around £6K but we'll get 50% relief on that.

It's busy getting painted etc at the moment so I'll post some more photos on here when it's all done.
