purefreedom trolley 25ltr works great for  me depends on your round cant get 4x4  right outside every house i do , 25 lts is a lot lighter than 50ltrs , when pulling thourgh snow sorry dazmond i have 10mtrs of pole hose and a 10mtr retractable air hose reel attached to trolley i dont find it a problem switching containers you just need to try and park in the best spot possible and work back towards car or van rather than away from it so when you need to switch you are closer to van its all learning curve AND ITS THE BEST BUILT TROLLEY ON THE MARKET IMO had mine nearly 3 yrs now still going strong should last until i retire at 60 now 35yrs old

one more point some  lads cant get out with with a big van mount due to weight in van in snowy conditions no such probs with trolley

any idea about running costs, how much do you spend on resin each week?.

[dazmond]

depends what you tds is coming out of your tap.mines usually between 35-70 although its 24 at the moment and i use approx 1 25kg  bag every 6 months(so £140-£150 a year)using 1000-1200L of pure a week.

[john stracey]

sorry to come across a bit dumb what does TDS stand for

[dazmond]

TDS = TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS


you need to buy a tds meter first then check you tap water to see whether you can get away with a DI ONLY SYSTEM(LIKE ME!) or a reverse osmosis system.

soft to medium    20-100    DI ONLY

anything over 100 is considered hard water

anything over 300 is considered mega hard!!

I started with a pf 25 L trolley and now use it connected to a 500 l tank in the bank of my van, if you get a trolley get one where the hose fits into the top of the container ( not fitted to bottom as some are) you can then use it as a trolley with container or a van mount and definateley buy a 30 -100 meter hose

just put as much water in as you need for the day , not a problem . i assume water weighs the same wether using it in a van mount or using it in a trolley or am i missing something

defo not mate, but with a trolley everything is more portable as i said before i now have a 4x4 so when snow is on the ground i have no problems getting about at all,  and i dont have to have mtrs of hose laid in snow which is more likely to freeze up
