With your back problems, are you going to be able to lift a 25 litre can of water high enough and then lower it gently into the cage?

Brilliant!!!
Trolleys are a great way to go.

ive got my father in laws orginal peter fogill trolleys that doesnt get used anymore . only trouble is it has no pump or battery but it holds 2 25 litre containers.
if your looking for a cheaper way to start i pretty sure he wouldnt want much for it. and you dont have to lift the containers so high and i am sure you could modify it a bit to take an all in one pump/battery box .

Funny story: I used to work in Africa and I learned to speak Arabic ... broken Arabic.
It's an interesting language. For one thing, plurals are made by adding vowels inside a word. The same sort of thing as mouse/mice, man/men and so on. For another thing, they don't have words for your, my, his, her etc. They put endings on words to show ownership.
The end result of this is that the word for window is shubak and windows is shubabik. The word for young person is shab, young people is shabab and your young people is shababik. Very close, as you can see.
I was a teacher and someone asked me how were my young people (= pupils). I was puzzled why he should ask me about my windows, but I told him that they needed cleaning.
The translated conversation was:
Him: Ahh. You are a teacher. How are your young people?
Me: (Looking a bit puzzled, but I often was in Africa.) Errr. They need cleaning.
Him: Pardon?
ME: (Suddenly realising my mistake) Oh, I mean they are excellent. Very clever and very quick.
Him: Oh. Err. Very good. (Exit stage left, looking perplexed!!!!)

i use a freedom trolley, with a remote control, i upgraded the signal for this with a 315MHz Reduced Height Helical Antenna with a bulk head sma connector, an now there is no flat spots in the signal so it turns of an on without any issues, i find this helps save on water waste, see a big part with trolleys is water usage , so the remote does the on/off now next trick is i got 1mm jets fitted to my slx brush, this made a huge difference, when i first started with standard trolley i was use in between 8-10 drums a day, now due to tinkering about i use between 4-5 for the same work. so with this in mind less water to take less wear an tear on the motor eg fuel brakes etc. four drums fit in my boot of my estate and the 5th sits behind front passenger seat in the foot well. i use a small boot organiser for spare brush, wfp tool kit, gg3, etc , i use a small ratchet strap to secure drums in boot and a long bungee to hold trolley in place while driving. the slx pole is held on roof by some sky pole holder that fit to the roof rack bars, i also carry a old winspray bag that holds my con roof cleaning kit, ive got a nice sign written uniform, some door magnets for the car,

very neat little set up s.w.c ;) i really like the sky pole holders ;D
i use about the same amount of water a day, only i use the back pack, get my trolley this week ;D
-
smithy were did you get your 1mm jets from and do you think the the colour change filter would be any good for topping water containers up when needed tds is between 25ppm and 75ppm were i live
-
Since I scrapped the van I''m using the car and a small box trailer.
I feel a bit safer than I did carrying the containers in the van.
I made a small roof rack for the trailer, I carry my trolley and ladder on this.
-
Hi there,
Where did you get the pole holders that fit on your roof rack?
Cheers
Gordon
-
prowindow the jets were from cleantech there not on the website but if you phone and ask they will do them, they do moan at me for have in to do it, but they still make them, the ionic colour filter would do for low tds. ive got high tds but i still get 10+ con roofs out of it, one clean pays for filter then the rest is profit.
gordon, the link you want,

That's a really nice, simple set up that you've got there, smithy.
I particularly like the conservatory kit. You've inspired me to put one of my own together - and to tidy up my act in general.
-
i dont do mess, more so when im use in family estate car i like it to look in its best condition at all times, i also keep it in garage over night.
-

-
ur the same as me s.w.c, i dont do mess either ;) would put up pics of my set up...
but i put the ick in thick when it comes 2using this laptop :P :P :P :P
-
there is no excuse for a dirty car or van, same for messy unorganized inside the motor, i think a clean tidy van or car tells customers something about you. i use pure water to clean mine every few days or in winter every day,
-
true dat ;D
-
cheers for that smithy , you should'nt use pure water to clean car it strips the wax off meaning it will get dirty quicker
-
you have got to listen to smithy mate...after all he is the best coach in the world.......i loved you on sport relief the other night...well done smithy. ;D
