Anyone used a backpack ( mobile w f p) as thinking of getting one.
-
had mine a few yrs now.ideal for my work as it is scattered .lot of the guys on here start off with backpack .then progress to van unit .quite a few differenet backpacks by companies .mine is the wcw backpack £140 plus u need pole .n pure water system
-
ive got one its brill shaves a few mins of each job recomend one
-
im interested in getting aback pac as to reach above conservatories etc, but i have not had anyone give me the full price for a full set up needed, i mean everything, from backpack to pole + brush+ resins or whatever is needed. . would these supliers demonstrate to you how to use and opperate the whole set up. i live in middlesbrough and feel i would need one to expand. if anyone is willing to show me how full setup works example on a sat or sunday or if you use one i could give you a hand for a day if you will be using one, id be very gratefull, i have own transport so can travel if needed. hope some one could help out. as you get older you realise the dangers getting to their bedroom windows at awkward areas.

what height could you reach with backpack, is a trolley system more powerfull for higher jobs.

If you are thinking of going wfp and you want to filter your own pure water you will first have to find out the hardness of the water in the area where you live. You can do this by buying a tds meter for around £15, and you will need one anyway to monitor your water.
If its soft water you can just use a di vessel but if hard water area an ro is recommended because in the long run it will be cheaper long term to filter your water that way.
Other than that you will need a backpack, a pole and brush, and some water barrels to transport your water in.

do you still have to use resin as in wfp setup or is a backpack not as complicated, dont want to sound dim wit , but if you havent used one before its just daunting that you have all the gear you need, i dont think it would come with a manual how to clean windows and check water etc.

ive just looked through pure freedom web site and they explain the way the trolley system works, with filters ro, etc, gives me a bigger insight, you can even use a trolley system the same as a van mount, just use a trailer as a van rear. just need a bigger warer container. i summise

-

Pristine has obviously missed this post,he mocks all who use such devices.
Backpacks will do the job nicely ;)

I got most of my info from you tube, tells you most thing you need to know, just type in wfd pole systems or wfp trolly systems.
