Reach & Wash™ is a trade mark of Ionic systems, as such you can not build a system with the name Reach & Wash™  however I am sure you was saying R&W in a loose term.

some1 phone craig and let him know about this

to be fair andy, if a product becomes successfull like reach and wash it soon becomes a term to describe a broader ideal, a bit like HOOVER

500 quid will get you a very adaqaute system going down the DIY route if you dont mind a bit of work, 550 will buy you a "plug in and use" system built using "on the shelf parts"

Pubs and resraunts use loads of wasin liquid and rinse aid. You can get the containers for nought. just wash them out before you put pure water in them.
Don't touch any that have had any oil in them though. DAI

Plastic 25 litre containers I used to make my system were purchased from cleantech http://www.cleantech.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=435&osCsid=6320a67bc06a4f3350ad28aca968fe1d

It's quite important that I use the same type/shape as not any old barrel will fit my diy sack barrow system.

Hope this helps.

Hi Steve

the pump you see on the RO MAN is  a pump incase your water pressure is low at home when you make your Pure water

the Pump box, is a box with pump / pre filter and flow regulator that pumps the water up your pipe / pole to your brush head

if you water pressure at home is average then you wont need the RO MAN pump

YOU will need a pump to pump the water upto the brush head though, for you you get the pump box is farily good value, and its tested and you just plug your bits of hose on and away you go
