Hi everyone.
Iam looking at my options , i run a 650 litre two pump system. i need more help and trying to work out my logistics.
I think as most do when you have commercial work or several domestics together van mount and hoses comes into its own.
however on some awkward stuff and when there is one house on its own i think there is a case to have a trolly as well. it also means you can drop a guy off on one house and then go up the road a bit keeping the van going on where theres more stuff together.
you are avoiding the set up time with the hoses.
anyone tried a combination set up. or any other time saving ideas
regards
john

I have an 800 litre system with a three man set up. I have 3 pumps, but one of two pumps will run both hose reels, just in case a pump goes down. The third pump runs without a controller, i plug a portable hose in to under the van, and can control the pressure via a tap on the hose. Only use it twice a year on a commercial job, comes in handy, but do get through the water fairly quick.
In the case of the odd job and you are doubled up in the van, i would just stop and clean the house together, imo, i don't see the point of stopping, unloading gear ect, may as well just do the job together.

hi
thanks, i hadnt really thought of three pumps how does your battery cope?
However i think its the set up time with the hoses that eats your time i think a trolly may save you time if you leave it on the back of the van with pole plugged in you can be cleaning windows one minute after pulling up.
cheers
