depends on how much work you do, a trolley is fine for a small round, would be a royal pain in the bum for a large talking round from experience, van mount is easier and less time consuming, money again depends what you need hot far you go from base. add a few more details on here and me and others can give you more help.

Personally I would change the bulk of your work over to wfp as once you start this will be more than likely what you will do, you can get a van and a wfp system off ebay for a couple of grand, if you want to go after commercial then a back back imo will not be sustainable and will cost you in time.

but if you are set on getting a trolley it will depend on your wallet, you can either buy one around £500 or make one about £250 all in, but you will then need a means of making the water, that will depend on the tds of your water, where you live if you say I would be able to say either ro and di, or di only.
ro can be bought second hand if you want to test the water say a 300gpd and a di about £40

all in about around £700 maybe less if you can get good dals would get you set up with what you want,


your welcome to give me a call and have a chat, my numbers are on my home page.

Hi J&A
where abouts are you. If you check out the for sale bit I am selling my van with or without the tank , pump ect. If you are local to me (birmingham) I will show you what you need and show you how to use it.
Just a thought.

Purefreedom do a trolley system for a grand which includes a few 25 litre barrels and a RO/DI kit.
you just need something to put your pure water into.

If you want to see if WFP is for you get a backpack a pole a bag of resin and a DI vessel,don`t waste silly money on a trolley.If you want to put the backpack on a trolley go to Aldis and buy a trolley for £18.
