If there are no wfp equipment suppliers in your country (south africa) you might be better off considering a diy system.
It will probably work out cheaper, and will do just as good a job.
But more importantly you will probably have a better understanding of how it all works if you fit it yourself.
Then you will have a better chance of fault finding and fixing if something goes wrong.

Your best bet is probably Ionic ; www.ionicsystems.com , not sure if they have a distributor in south Africa, but they say they export to over a hundred countries, so you might be in luck.

Trouble is if you have a big tank in the back of your bakkie then there is no space left for the workers.  ;D ;D ;D

Hi Slumpy

I didn't want to call them 'boys' or anything else for that matter.

Reminds me of the white Oke that employed two boys on a job. He gave one the name Bobbe and the other Jaan. And if he wanted them both he called them bobbejaan.
