This looks VERY good. My only reservation would be that 35 litres makes it awfully heavy to heave in and out of a vehicle when the can is full.

I have a freedom trolley, and it is superb.

as i said, build it yourself, its a sack truck to carry a 25 L barrel ( changing over barrels is ALOT faster than filling then from your van/car, it allways was, allways will be ), add to it a battery of some sort and a pump

job done

i have a freedom trolley , and  now knowing a bit more about trolleys. would be a lot cheaper to make your own . there isnt exactly much to them really. see if a local cleaner has one you could look at . is my advise. will save you money making your own .

i find the in and out going pipe is better off looping UP and into the barrel ( not out of the sides of a pump box ) , i rarely get airlocks now, i can go weeks and not get them

Hi there,

I have a 75 litre trolley that I heave on and off an L200 PICKUP. But its empty when I move it on and off the truck! 75 litres on the right trolley is easy to manover(suprisingly)

I have 25 litre jerry cans that hold the water and I pour it in... it does not take that long to fill or refill.

Althou I am thinking of adding a 100 mitre hose real that way I can leave it on the truck.

X Line Systems are in Nottingham; those on here who have them recommend there trolley system.

If money is an issue, maybe the diy will be the place to start.



Yep I have a trolly from xline and an RO unit. They are superb guys! Always willing to advise and help which counts alot.
