Hi guys
this trolley system is it any good for the price and is there any alternatives
also do you still need to setup a somewhere to make the pure water to put in all the barrells?
Thanks for your help
Regards J

Yes you need to make the water for it via an RO unit or DI vessel.
-
thanks nws
does anyone have preferences on the trollies?
-
To be honest if i were you i would buy a backpack and put it on a trolley,if your new to WFP it will give you a good idea of what all the fuss is about.If it suits you and your work and you then go for a vanmount set up the backpack can then be used for those houses with limited access,with RO unit to produce the water a pole and backpack your off and running for under £500.

Cleantech will do you a starter kit which will enable you to make water,with a backpack and 4x25ltr containers you could start off in a car if you wanted to.

Wicked thats what I need
Cheers fella on all your help

Make sure on the first charge that you charge it fully,form then onwards a 7hr charge will be enough,in reality the backpack should get you 3-4 hours constant working time,but don`t forget that you turn it on and off so you might get more.

I'm a freedom trolley fan. I have a van mount as well. If you get a freedom trolley it won't be wasted no matter what you read.
Get a water tank, submersible pump and you have a van mount.
You don't need loads of 25l containers if you have a water tank, just 1.
However, nwh and matt have given you cheaper alternatives which are just as effective.
It depends on what you want and how much you want to spend.

I depends if you are experienced or new to WFP
If you are new to WFP you would get one 3 bed semi done on a 25 ltr container.
You will always get through a lot more water until you get some experience with WFP.

I do 2 now with 25 litres. But as paul said, 1 is most likely for a while.

Glad someone actually told the guy the truth instead of everyone saying "3 or 4".
I am finding I am using a lot less now than when I started. Lack of experience and first cleans = lots and lots of water :D
-
i get 4 out of a 25 L barrell, thats just tops though

i have the pure freedom trolley system and im a pretty new wfp`er,
when i started up i used hell and all water, sometimes 1x25ltrs per house, but i was doing up and downs as well, now i only do the whole house up and downs on the first clean to get the frames all clean, then 2nd clean i just do ups, and trad the downs,
i love the kit, but thats me and i havent tried anything else, as the guys i know in the business have the same system and i tried theres first to see if i liked it.
there are lots on the market, it depends on how much you have to spend and how much work you want to do in a day
choice is yours, and good luck

I and a few mates have the Freedom trolley.
I bought it when I saw it when I took a mate over to Grimsby to sort out a van mount system from the Guys at Freedom
As a start piece of kit into WFP I think its the dogs!!! I already had a van mount but bought it for easy access where the hose was a problem. I reckon now I use it at least as much as my hoses. Once the first cleans are out of the way with a decent flow rate you should get 3 semis out of a container. I do.
I put another van on the road recently and got a tank fitted using the trolley to power the tank/hose set up when its best to use that but a real benefit is that it is often quickly disconnected and used stand alone. It is built like a brick outhouse but is very easy to lift and move around. Up and down steps and stuff like that.
For anyone just starting out its worth every penny because it gives you the ability to just add a tank in a van and it will easilly power 100 metres of hose on a reel. £ for £ I think it's the best value investment I've ever made since going WFP.
