Is the trolley worth £820? Or would you  get a backpack?can you just walk in pure freedom or do you need to arrange a appointment with them?
Cheers

I think if you ring Andrew and he will make the time to see you,he won't sell you anything you don't need as he knows the water quality in the area etc.
I believe the trolly on it's own is £520.00 or there abouts,thats for the original one that holds 25 litres drums,I think this one is best to start off with rather than the newer model but it's up to you,the backpack is another idea but does'nt hold as much water,it all depends on ones work ;)
By the way I think a 100 gpd unit is far too slow,get at least a 300 gpd one ;)

For £280 i dont think it is bad for a
Pole
Ro system
DI
Backpack

I personally think for that money you can go wrong, I spoke to the Guy from Red diving the other day, he was very very helpful.

I did'nt realise,I thought it was just the RO unit! :o :o :o :o
Yeah,not a bad price at all ;D but I would still upgrade to 300 gpd if they do them

I think it's a good price for what your getting, the RO will probably only just be enough for tops only, when an RO is sold as 100gpd then that is the most it will ever do under ideal circumstances, so if you are thinking of using more water later then get a better RO.

Backpacks are normally ideal as an addition to a van mount, there are some on here that work only with a back pack and nothing else and get on fine.  If it was me though and I had the choice of back pack or trolly then I'd probably go for the trolly.  A backpack that size will normally squeeze out a house and a bit unless your a real scrooge with the water.

Well i use the brodex trolley and find that great and got a pure freedom RO & DI system for water, but i did wish i got the RO unit from red diving as i would have got more for my money.

I think picking between a backpack or a trolley depends on your needs, but i would recommend you have a look at the brodex system, mine was only £490 + vat and that included a 25FT alloy pole. (they did this as a deal, you will probally have to call them to get this type of offer) then buy your self a cheap RO system from red diving and your away.

haven't looked at the package sorry, but get the trolley as it will power a van mount if / when you decide to get one. A backpack won't.

cleewindows i offered you you a facelift 40 ltr trolley with a new pump for £250 and you never got back to me i honestly cant see why you want to pay out for a new pure freedom trolley , i allso offered you a ro unit and you never let me no but that choice is yours .

What you offered is a good deal. But i can understand the reluctance in buying a 40 litre trolley. It's good for larger work but i think too much weight for the majority of domestic work, when 25 litres or even a backpack would be enough.

the trolley ive got as been modified and im not joking when full of water plus the trolley weight i could pull it around the london marathon with my little finger its really light , i bought this from james at x-line systems and he would tell you the same .
