brodex do it, ionics, concept20 and quite a few others,

The reason I ask is that Ive been quoted £1,100 to fit a 300 litre tank like the one below and that seems kinda steep to me. Just the tank, no gubbins, no pipe-work, no nuffin, just supply and fit the box.

Dont quote me on this , but pure freedom are selling tanks with a fiitting kit ! Maybe you could ask a local engineering firm to fit it ? The rest of the kit , I think you could add on yourself ? ;D
-
Thanks, I'll give them a bell in the morning.
-
just out of interest go on the cleantech site and price the bits up. 300l can't be that hard to fit.
-
Tanks etc are a piece of you know what to find, its the fitting. Ive spoken to my insurance company about carrying water, they say its fine so long as the tanks fitted professionally.
-
If you have the fixing kit, a local garage will probably do it, or a tow bar fitter.
-
funny you starting this topic been trying to get a cage made for my tank no success yet did ask for a quote recently this was for the tank and cage and fitting was £1000

For a 300 litre tank in a cage, fitted, pump + strainer + controller, battery incl of V.A.T £940.00.
My opinion is that as Adepta are an engineering firm by default rather than a waterfed pole supplier they'd be a better choice.

thats a good price for all that i just spoke to adepta and was quoted just under £500 for suppying cage and fitting it to the van which i thought was reasonable. just got to save some pennies now! ::) ::)

Get a bigger tank if you can.

Stupid comment is it,when you keep running out of water at 1 o`clock will see won`t we.You need 500ltrs at LEAST if your doing 90% of your work WFP.Everyone i know that went in under 500ltrs wished they`d gone bigger but you know best.By the way how`s it going lol. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Are you using an RO with your system , or just DI vessels ? What TDS reading do you have ? ( I love these wfp terms lol ) ;D

I go out currently with 200 litres, I know how long that lasts, I therefore know how long 300 will last, and for me that'll be just fine.
If I needed more Id have bought a bigger van.
Its going fine thanks.

I have a static RO setup at home it runs through DI resin before going into the tanks I have here, from there it'll be pumped to the van.
Tap-water has a TDS of 275, about 10 after RO and somewhere from 0-2 after DI, depending on how old it is.
-
Makes me smile when ones on here give advice about your set up , and they dont even know your work ::)
-
Exactly, arrogant prick.

I got a 650 liter tank and a few weeks back i filled to about 500 liter did 4 town houses, 5x 4 bedroom houses and and 3 x 4 bedroom houses with cons on and towards the end i started worrying i wasnt going to have enough water and because my system is all on my van i couldnt just pop home to fill, so i parked van on curb so water leaned to where the output is.

Flat-bed?

Chris

Yea I did mean the tank Chris. Ive heard someone else who has a flat-bed tank with similiar probs. Id have gone for a flat-bed but didnt want that to be happening.

No he means he was up a ladder last month but now he`s an expert,now there`s arrogance for you lol. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :-* :-* :-*
-
It doesnt take an expert to deduce how much longer 300 litres is going to last compared to 200.
-
No he means he was up a ladder last month but now he`s an expert,now there`s arrogance for you lol. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :-* :-* :-*
NWH, I make about £200 a day, and I use only 200-250l water.
Now you guess how I do that.....

He'll tell you that you skimp on the rinsing (now Ive said that he won't) ;D My 200 litres with my trolley produces approx the same income as you Tim. And I dont skimp on rinsing.

It will be interesting to know how much water you are using 6 months down the road.
I used 250 litres when i worked solely with trolley and now get through 400 by using the van mount. I don't knock out much extra work either but i do shave a substantial bit of time off my day before i run out of water.
-
You will work quicker with a vanmount than with a trolley or backpack because you have no problem with re filling or carting heavy things around,it`s nice to know in your mind that you will always have enough water and don`t need to panic about running out round the back of a house.

Funny you should say that because i worry more about if i have enough water in the tank to do another job with the van mount when the trolley isn't on board. Which is rare.
The trouble with van mount is that i wil get halfway through a job and the water will stop pumping even though there is a good 50 litres + in the tank. I have a sub pump in the tank to fill a container for the trolley and that will clear up almost all of the water in comparison. I use the trolley quite alot but it's main job now is for emergencies, so i can finish the job off if need be.
Where is it possible to buy a pressurised water tank?
Something to stop the nonsense of having to park on a slope to use 100% of the water i carry. I don't see the point in carrying what i can't use. Especially with fuel prices as they are/ will be!!
Has anyone been able to overcome this problem with flat tanks?
