for terraced houses and houses that i have to go through house or harage for to get to back - i have been thinking off getting a backpack but concerned about the quality of backpacks and the amount of water they carry -

does anyone use a triolley system to go through houses

any ideas on which best??......in harry hills words ..FIGHT...

[dazmond]

its entirely up to you mate.a backpack seems a good idea for the ones you have to go through the house to clean the back windows.i dont have any houses i go through to clean the back.how do you presently go on then?carry ladders through the house? .

i have a few up and over the garage flat roof jobbies which i trad but not many(about 20 on my whole round).

if you want a proper system then a trolley or van mount is a must IMO.

better pumps and batteries.

a backpack would be ok as a occasional tool for awkward  access  or as back up but for your main system you want something more robust and can hold more water if your using it day in/day out IMO.

thinking about it i do go through a couple of garages with my hose to clean the backs of a a few properties.

i use a 50L TROLLEY with 30m of 5mm extension hose.

i use purefreedom trolley with a sealy retractable air hose reel strapped to trolley with cable ties from www.pvrdirect.co.uk its the SA812 there are some on amazon 10mtr reel and i have 10 mtrs of hose in my 18ft pole which manages all the awkward jobs as above really well

swings and roundabouts i think...

what ever works best for the user.

only a few use a 50 litre trolley - most use 25ltr

backpacks with a good handle are very handy for getting round some houses with packed gardens ...

maybe someone in your area could help you out with it? lend you a trolley and/or backpack for a few days.

do trolly  systems have a good pressure and can they reach the same heights as a van system can

I made myself a cheap trolley for this kind of work several years ago with a 25 ltr barrel, soon found it caused me more problems ; steps, packing/unpacking from van, narrow door ways, tangled hose, leaving tyre tracks on floors when wet etc.
was'nt very long before I bought the wcw backpack, ditched the straps , shortened the hose added a tap, carry it to point of use , is'nt that heavy and much simpler. I find 15 ltrs enough to clean the back of a 3 storey town house with.


another benefit to the backpack is if it gets really cold again this winter and hoses start freezing up, can see myself using it more to be able to continue working when I may have just given up.
