Title: Wfp questions from ladder monkey
Post by: ashbash on October 11, 2014, 04:39:15 pm
Changing some of my work over to wfp. 1st question is will an average trolley system to powerfull enough to work a 35 feet pole when extended. 2nd question is would purifying the water through a resin vessel be ok to start with. Looking at doing it cheap and cheerfull to start with then getting a proper system when I've learnt from my mistakes and what I need. Thanks in advance and go easy on me :)

Yeah and definitely will be powerfull enough.

Some even use them up,to 60 feet.

You need to knowmthentds of the water in your area, need to get yourself a TDS meter,where abouts are you?

In somerset got the idea of the very basics. I'm getting a tds Monday. Will the water be instantly purified through a resin bottle and will it cost an arm and a leg in resin this way. I know my area is fairly soft water.

Yes and yes is the answers.


Gardiners resin calculator should help you work out your cost, once you know your TDS and your usage.

If you live in a soft water area then an RO will be your best bet financially short and longterm you could spend the same amount of money on an RO which will last you for months with out any extra spend .

As you could on a Di vessel full of resin that could only last you weeks .
