Hi
I am starting a window cleaning business and need some advice on what equipment to buy I have brought some gear already from a friend whos had a clearout
got a traditional set up which is all good
but I'm looking at a wfp small system that is compact
looking at starting on domestics single and 2 storey work
going to buy water from someone local to start off with
have got a 175l tank
60m 8mm hose and reel
2 diy Harris poles I've made with vikan brushes
fitting etc
all I need is a pump controller and battery/ charger
is there anywhere I can buy them in a box all ready rigged up so all I need to do is connect tank and pole
where and how much
cheers any imfo appreciated

buy a backpack that contains switch battery pump and all the electrical components you need
then strip it down about £100
disconnect the backpack tank
buy a empty pump box from wintecs £20-30 quid or a electrical wholesaler even cheaper
 couple the inlet to the pump wirh a length of hose and connect to a water tank and a tap to restrict flow or buy a controller 
cheaper than the £350 most suppliers charge
