Same-I get close but have never ran out

Yes ;D ;D.
-
I carry a 350 tank, 25 litre barrel, and a 18 litre backpack, i have never run out :o
-
for 15 houses - more than enough i would say ( if standard 3 bed style )
i used to have a 400 ltr tank and could just about do a full day on it ( that would be 20 to 25 standard semi type )
or if large to extra large houses ( 5 bedders/detached etc.. ) between 12 and 16 of these

PS - get an upright - if you use a flat you'll get more airlock prob's at the end of the day as the water will drain out of the hose to the pump

Thanks chaps !
-
Defo enough. I have 650 systems for 2 guys lasting all day with usualy having 100-150 litres left over so 400 will defo see you through

400 is about right, put two 25 litre containers in the back as well, just in case
-

im currently using a trolley, but cant decide between upright and flat down. i know uprights saves more space and lessens risk of air locks but layflat spreads the weight better in the van and is proven a lot safer in a crash

thanks Gav but not downsizing tank in me tranny .. more of helping a mate get going

Most days I could scrape by with 400. There are days when I couldn't do it though. Depends what type of work really. I have no varistream fitted so having one might help. Also, low flow can slow you down.

Paul I would defo recommend you have one mate, high flow is good put there is a massive amount of waste, where you can control the wate without affeting speed, I monitered this over about 6 months and now, can do a days work with about 400L, but i have extra as nothing worse than running out, better to have to much than to little imo, I think you would save on water trying this mate honestly i do

It might not be totally proven but in a recent crash test using a flat tank it was found that a flat tank moves less on impact compared to a upright i belive thst is why alex gardiner decided to use a flat tank with the new crash tested grippatank . Mike
