Simbo, I haven't got time to help you out, but if you've time google on e-bay for a 'Shurflo Crop Sprayer'.  I believe you can get them from USA E-Bay for around £150.

I got mine from Williamson Pumps for £215, including vat and delivery.

Why are you just going DI?  You can pick up a 60 Gallon RO/DI for around £60 that should suit your requirements.

Gotta go.

Here's the link to the back pack from e-bay USA:

I believe it costs around £150 to £170 in total, once you add postage and packaging.

Alternatively you can buy from Williamson Pumps, in the UK for £215.00.  They've told me that they will honour the warranty, even though we use the 'crop sprayer' as a window cleaning 'power pack'.

wintecs are selling resin at £79.41 including vat and delivery.
If your going DI only I would recommend you get 2 vessels. I spend less than a pound a day on resin, tops only with tap TDS of 57. Use one vessel untill the TDS starts to go up, then connect your second vessel to it. Keep checking the TDS of the first vessel and change the resin in it before it reaches the TDS of your tap water. Doing it this way maximises the use of your resin. DAI

All my poles will be purchased from Gardiners in future - quality is superb and the service is fantastic.

Matt  has your pole with got a flow valve as I`m planing to get their 25 foot pole with valve also getting the surflo from Williamson Pumps was in contact with them today and they offered a wfp conversion on the lance trigger cant see it would be needed on a pole with a flow valve though, so if you have the valve is it easy to operate ?
