Title: What set up is best for a two day a week part timer
Post by: Paul erithwc on April 26, 2016, 02:03:30 pm

What set up works best with one full time worker and a two day a week part timer.

At the moment I have a fixed 350ltr system would it be best to add another reel, pump, controller, bigger battery ect or just get a 25 ltr trolley & a 12v 45 ltr per min transfer pump ?

Thanks Paul

350 litres isn't a lot for two people; it might only last a few hours depending on the kind of work you're doing.  I think that's your first problem.

As for the rest, I wouldn't mess about with trolley's; just get another pump, controller and reel.  Just use a splitter on the tank outlet to two different pumps and controllers.

A bigger van/pickup is on the cards for later this year once I  have paid off my wife's new car.

But for now I need to make do with what I have  :'( :'(

Pump reel and pole. And plot your work so those two days they're working near to Base so can refill at lunch. Easy.

Another hose reel, pump etc, then maybe use 4 or 6  X 25 litre containers to increase your capacity, just fill your main tank when it gets low.
