Ken Wainright kindly put a link on to a supplier of these in Birmingham at a great price (the plastic bodied ones) just wondering if Ken or anyone else knew the www ?

Hell
I payed 70 odd quid last month for a Prochem one.
Find it akward because it sprays really quickly, too quickly really.

just a way of saying how fast it is, and how far it goes. personally, depending on circumstances, i'd prespray a house in 3 parts. with extraction in between each one.

hydraforce plugs into the solution hose from the trucky, then mixes with hot water from the trucky at the right dilution rate,
1 small 5 litre can of high concentrate prespray, could, if you wanted to, pre spray a whole 5 bed house and then some, with out refilling.

my opinion? get a proper pre-sprayer, a 10ltr s/s gloria, solid made and will last you years, looks professional not like a garden sprayer, you can change the spray tips in a few secs if you need to and when you pump them up they stay pressurised for much longer, they also take any temp of solution you want to put in them. ok so they are £200 + vat but spread that over say 10 years and they are cheap.
if you want a tough old plastic one that you can boot up the middle of a factory phone up addidas!

to be honest Colin,

the plastic ones are professional looking as are the s/steel ones from hudson and for the £18 i paid for my s/steel one , with viton seals and doesnt lose pressure I can afford to lose the odd one , unlike one that costs £200  . Be honest dont tell me you have never lost or left sprayer  , because I have.

Geoff, Mike Toomey is selling a hydraforce. I was thinking of buying it but if you want one you can have it.

they are worth their weight in gold, once used you never use anything else

you're right with that address easy to find on google.

John, (JandS)they aren't open on Saturday but if you want one I'll pop and get you one, then you can pick it up from my house,  like Geoff said I live 2mins away.

Cheers for that Mike.
Am going to York first to check up on caravan then to the coast, either Brid, Scarborough or Filey but that depends on weather so a bit out of my way if we decide to go.
Very nice of you to offer though, thank you very much.

John
