Hi guys I'm in the process of buying a DIY trolley system of the internet. I'm buying it to do 1 commercial job so need something cheap and cheerfull. The trolley has an 80 psi. Would this be powerfull enough to reach 35 feet or 4 storeys as this is what I need it for. It also has a scooter battery if that makes a difference. Thanks ashley

Well i used to use an omnitrolly with 60psi pump and same type of battery with no problems at that height and higher.
-
I used a Shurflo backpack at 60 ft and thats only 40psi...and it wasnt on full power either!
-
Wouldn't it be easier to sub it Ash?

No it's worth a few hundred and looking to get in to wfp so thinking I've got to start somewhere. I was thinking this could be a good start doing difficult access windows etc and see how it goes.

fair enough.
I think you may be better doing it with someone though bud.
It will be less money for you to start out with but it may be worthwhile.
All th best with it either way

If it's worth a few hundred it is going to be a few barrels of water I'd have thought. Personally, it would drive me mad refilling the barrel on the same job.
Better in my opinion buying a used small tank, a pump board and a cheap reel.

Use decent pump a 12 amp hour battery and a few barrels with a hose to to draw water. This you can use later in a van setup.

And the other thing I would say is that as a full time wc, I would be apprehensive about 4 storey height pole work, so as a first job - NIGHTMARE!
