Finally got around to connecting all the bits and pieces up I have bought over the last few months.

It has it's own 25 litre tank, so I have to fill it like a backpack.

Wanted to keep away from electronic flow controllers etc, so used Ian Giles method of adding a valve to the inlet house. It worked really well on my trial run today and is dead simple. (Like me!  )

The pumpbox was bought from wintecs and works straight out of the box, but I would probably make my own next time.

The only teething problem I had was an air leak on the valve, so the water didn't pump through to start with.

The outlet hose is algarde aquatic hose and was easy to use. I bought the 1/4" John Guest type fitting from a local company and just plug the algarde hose straight in. Works fine.

Using an unger pole that reaches 30 feet.

Did the windows above my conservatory and the conservatory roof and they look good, so pretty chuffed! 

What do you think?

[Jeff Brimble]

Maybe you have room for a small hose reel tied above the tank.

It's a very fine looking one, I must agree. But why anyone would want to bother with one is beyond me.

[Ian W]

I haven't really thought about using a reel. Perhaps something to incorporate later.

Thanks Tim. I would like to get rid of the straps, but as the thing works so well I am not so bothered.

I take it you use a van mount exclusively? I only have a fiesta van, so a van mount would be overkill.

I got an Electric drive trolley made from a golf trolley it goes faster than I can, but here possibly is the future for trollies - also holds modular poles !

If you dont have broad band look at the pics on the site by clicking on home !
 Man you goota admit Tim thats way cool 

[Ian W]

If they could get it to clean windows too they would definitely be on to a winner!

Printed labels ! Room to carry another 20L container, large fill lid.

Does the trolley fold ?

[Ian W]

No, unfortunately it doesn't fold. It is small enough to fit in a fiesta though.

   If I had gone to that much trouble I would have fitted a larger tank
but then it might be to heavy to lift into the van

The container & large lid is over-kill to me... I would have gone for a ready supply of 20-25lt tubs  :

the box looks very professional... well done on that! 
And yes I would have gone for a folding sack/barrow for ease of storing  :

But overall I would be pleased if I turned it out! 

[Ian W]

I went for a single tank as 25 litre containers are heavy. I have a ready supply, but I don't fill them anywhere near full. As a result, the usage time would be heavily cut. So filling up a tank to capacity seemed like a good idea.

The pumpbox is the one professional item on the trolley! Bought from wintecs.

I have a folding trolley from Aldi, but couldn't fit the items to it due to the way it folds. Hence the small trolley from machine mart.

Very pleased with it. Thanks for your comments!
