Trolley for pure water cleaning
« on: January 11, 2004, 07:00:55 pm »
Is there anyone on the group who has made their own trolley for pure water window cleaning?
I`m personally looking at something  around a 25 liter capacity system.It is obviously for smallish
jobs in general but might upgrade at a later date.Hope this `thread` gets something going,
thanks for replies.

"Get something going"

In good old Dom's haste to help out with good honest information on this board, he forgot that he dosnt sell trolleys for pure water cleaning, well there isnt any if you follow the link he gave.  I wonder if it would have a remote control on it if he did sell them?

Brodex sell 3 basic trolley varients, for hard and soft water areas. Storage trolleys all feature wet acid batteries for superior performance. Any interested parties, call 08707 282840, e-mail "Dom Direct".
Trolley packages start at £299 complete up to £1072 for battery powered storage systems, complete with poles. Industrial kit, do not confuse with residential equipment.

I was wondering where about on your site the information was that was requested. I didnt see it.

And I dont know what lead acid batteries have to do with anything, I didnt see anyone asking about batteries, and you are wrong again, I do use lead acid batteries and recommend them for the more frequent usage, or as back up to the smaller lighter battery.  You really will have to pay more attention to what you write.

Peter again assumes that I am refering to him. Fogwell is one of a number of suppliers with the same idea; why does he always assume I'm talking about his equipment.?  "small man syndrome? paranoia ? vanity? "
Move on Peter.........
Dom.


Yes just like you assumed I was talking about you when I said the person that would withdraw messages after they were posted was dishonest.

You obviously run a sizeable cleaning company considering how much Omnipole equipment you have.

All I would say to this is take a look at nafzger2001 only four posts to date, three mention Omnipole, and the other slags Reuben.  nafzger2001 has bought 3 van systems from Omnipole, one trolley system, spoke to them weeks ago about batteries, and can't remember the guys name.

I am not asking you to tell your customers to put their details in, I never even asked your customer to do it, Mike the forum administrator asked him to.  I was just remembering him that he hadn't for his own good, as he was going to be removed if he didn't.

Feel free to ask anyone who recommends my systems to put their details in, it won't bother me.  I have nothing to hide, I don't have any plants on the forum.

Hi Old Master,
I am a little biased as I bought Peters system, and am extremely happy with my purchase. Check out my details anytime you like.

Referring to the thread:-I added up the costs of all the bits that make up the trolley system, and worked out it would simply save me time and money to buy the whole unit from one manufacturer. Being in Spain, I just couldn't afford to send off for parts here & there, many items not being available here. Peter was the lucky one.

I am concerned that omnipole promote RO systems for drinking water. I think you are getting into dangerous "water" there. Pardon the pun.

I thought of the trolley in 1998 to access dificult areas.
I then made my own trolley Lewis
spent thousands of pounds developing it having tank moulds made -
used the best pump available-
best battery available-
Heavy duty galvinised frame with off set wheel studs to perfect balance.
I wanted to build a perfect product.
then every body else copied me with budget componant versions!!!!
I should have patented the whole thing instead of just some of the componants. Still thats life.

It's a hard life Glyn, I know how you feel, people have also copied my trolley.  You have to look on the bright side though, if no one else developed a trolley, you wouldn't have been able to use their ideas and designs to improve yours.    

What components have you patented?

Patents are very complicated issues, you can't patent the fact that you carry water around on a trolley, that's not patentable.

Lewis, I have made various "trolleys" for balance,top of the diy list is a folding aluminium golf kart for £25 (fiitting the stuff to it is another matter) 2nd was a sack truck. Whatever type you use  bigger wheels are better.
