I thought i would be prepared last night so i put my xline trolley in my van ready for this morning,got to my first call this morning and it was frozen up,i tried turning on etc,ran hot water down the pipes to thraw them out,it turns on ok etc but nothing....
 I rang xline and was told i shouldnt of tried it,how did i know?i didnt know it was frozen and then told to put infront of radiator and then try it again...
 I have in front of radiator now,do you think i need a new pump?
 Has anyone else had simillar problems?
any help would be much appreciated.
cheers all

let it all thaw out as u might not of damaged any thing,  could just be a block in a pipe,  can u put any water in the tank?  if you can pour a hot kettle of water in to it,   i would leave your trolly in the house at night,  as better to be safe than sorry

bit gutted,i shall not put in van again the night before,i just didnt expect the frost.

u should be able to disconnect ur pump,  that chances of it getting damaged should be miminal, i usually just run off what ever water i got till none is running any more and that should be ok,,  if you have to leave it in the van,  go asda and buy a smart price high tog quilt and put over it, that should be ok, unless the weather gets extreme cold,

The pump should be OK the biggest problem with the water freezing is the pump might crack. This would be apparent as it would have a crack.........

When our pump freezes we blast it for 5 mins with a hair dryer.

it all sorted thanks guys.i tried it at about 1pm and the pump was working fine,just been and done a house and all is well.
I also used my bungalow brush and i am very impressed with it.
Its excellent and so light to use making it so much easier to get to the low windows and doors.Ive sussed out how to do it,i do tops with my big pole front then back and then get the bungalow out to do the back and then front with it,so much easier and all done in 15 mins,well happy
cheers guys!

happened me loads over the winter with my trolley, if its a sunny day, 10mins in the sun usually thaws it out

sound m8 had me worried i thought i was gonna need to order a new pump,im thinking maybe i should have a spare back up pump or should i get a backpack as a back up?
 Do you have spares or back up?

how do you guys get on with the trolley?im going to get into wfp in a few months and was going to start with a trolley then maybe upgrade to a van mount at a later date.

i was thinking of getting one with a di on for pure water on demand and take 12  25lt full containers to work which will be 300lts then top up on custys outside taps if i need anymore.

i would bring the trolley inside every night when below freezing.

any thought guys?
