All i can say is good luck to him but it looks like a very hard way to start or he's van is off the road for the day and he still wanted to earn a crust ;) ;)

Good on him at least he has a job....

If you trad, I don't think this is a bad idea, especially if compact.
It looks like a bit of thought has gone in to this.
You could even have some side panels in ply,and get some signwriting on there.
All good

no diesel costs, van insurance, road tax, tyres, oil change (on and ongoing van costs!) + fitness levels boosted = very healthy margins/ bottom line and a healthy happy life!
As previous poster has said if he could be Di only and click into customers taps for pure then that would make it an absolutely AWESOME setup -shame about the heavy looking pole though
-
I know him. He lost hes liscence so had to resort to a bike. He does all round bex heath n welling
-
expensive ladders means hes not a true grunt ;)
-
haha that is fantastic!! i take my hat off to that man , now he is someone who doesnt sit around feeling miserable at what has happened , a real go getter. ;D
-
It's a shame there aren't more people like him in the country instead of all the people that can't be bothered to work :( :(

He probably lost his licence earning his beer money like most window cleaners do ;D

I used to like these guys from Bristol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2_Lf-9pxno (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2_Lf-9pxno) <<< short video crap sound!
RO/DI in a trailer ... Genius ... but I followed the link to the website (turn down the sound first it's shocking music) and all they seem to do is patio cleaning! I wonder if they cycle about with a jet wash in tow? That I would like to see!
-
Bet he can't wait to get his licence back. Gonna be a long 12 months.
-
OMFG Not many of them left thought they were all extinct.
-
hi ya :) as a famouse m p once said get on your bike and get a job, and as our goverment keep saying back to basics ;D
-
I like the idea of this and would be ok on compact work if you could get a water supply. looks like hes got a small wfp system and does trad too.
Would look better if it was one system or the other IMO, could look good with sign written panels
I'm DI only and reckon a 50 tank, DI vessel pump & battery would do, with a 22' pole, hose to top up, 30m of microbore
just need to flatten the hills round my way first :o
I rememmber the guys on bikes from bristol too from a couple of years ago - does anyone from there ever see them?
-
Great idea.
Did anyone see dragons den a few years back where they made a push bike for 3rd world countries to make clean water for them. It basically had 2 tanks, youd fill with dirty water, it had a RO system or some kind of filteration and your peddling would clean the water whilst riding. I thought would be great for us.
This is all i could find

if it was me id just have one double ladder and a trad pole,bucket,scrims and squeegees.sod biking it with a wfp system on board! ;D ;D ;D
i lost my licence and used to either get a lift or a taxi.i left ladders and other gear at customers houses.luckily for me most of my work was very compact.
it was a long hard 12 months.i wouldnt like to do it again.lessoned learned the hard way.
hopefully he s also learnt his lesson as well.
his round must be all over the place!!i spent a fortune on taxis getting to and from work but at least i was earning.

I can't get the blooming quote thing to work is it knacked? any road up re the cycling and purification post from FireMatt see above....
that sounds very interesting is it just pumping up the water to 200 psi through the membrane do you think? that would be brilliant turbo trainer in the garage producing pure water from egg and chips! I may work on this if it reduces the waste water it would be fantastic!
