Title: What would you...
Post by: Matt Gibson on March 16, 2013, 07:11:59 pm

...want from america, that you cant get here for pressure washing, or that its too expensive here?

Following on from a post by Kevin, he has space in containers coming from America.

What would you want from the states? Equipment? Pumps? Anything for your business? was thinking if a few people wanted something, we could get some put in the container, split the cost..

Not sure a burger would keep too well in a container for a few weeks. although, they do use a lot of preservatives in their food.

In all serious though aren't whirlaway much cheaper over there? It you had the time it would be worth sourcing them and getting 50 shipped over. I reckon you could sell them all on here within 6 month.

I bought one a 12" whirlaway from USA. It cost me £110. to buy and ship. £25 import tax and £25 to get quick releases, fitted and a lance.
So £160 all in for a working whirlaway. It is the first one I have bought, but seems to work well.

Richy,

How quick did it arrive? Did it come with any fittings or nozzles?

I thought about whirlaways. was thinking of bringing in a few 18" & 20". If i could get them cheap enough that is. Cant buy a brand new 18" for under £400 here.

Matt,

It came with a everything shown ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380482198147?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648

It only needs a straight metal lance(pole), quick release one end, and I changed the fitting on the whirlaway to have a permanent fixing, with a elbow.

It took about 3/4 days!
