i was impressed by their video      but it is an all in one piece kit,   the water drum is fixed onto system      not like the purefreedom kit.  but the purefreedom trolley has all the same spec as a van systen has pump battery  waterflow etc     you can just leave in car or van and use a water container to feed from save you getting trolley out.

Hi Cleancare

It was pizza hut uk, no we did not give that information out,
weeks later got a letter saying going national contract.
The pizza hut manager told me the new schedule will be done
once every three months, own staff to do between visits,

dont think this arrangement will last ;D ;D ;D

Why would you want to do that, the Gardiner trolley is much better then that. Yes the tank is fixed, but it also means you can fill up much easier.

I was wondering if to get a gardiners one but wondered what the flow rate is like?

When i enquired about it the pumps in them are the same as those cheap backpacks as far as im aware they are from china, if they are then your wasting  your money purefreedoms have sureflow pumps hardly anything goes wrong with them

I use one a couple of days a week. The flow rate is quite high. I fitted a simple push fit tape to the hose to regulate the flow.

There are, in my opinion, a few small problems with it.

The first is that the handle is a bit too short. Second is that the hose reel fitted to it is a bit too low and if you are not careful the winding handle catches on the ground when you are pulling it along. Also with the tank being so low and longer than 25 litre barrels or the upright 35 litre jobbies it is a bit harder to lean back onto the wheels.

I have all three types and a backpack but when I have to use a trolley I far prefer the gardiners one.

Why do people on here keep commenting on equipment they have never even seen, let alone used? Makes me laugh!
