In answer to two questions ,
                                    Firstly the extreme is hands down better than the slx admittedly, however I still use the slx more as it is more durable and rugged and I would definately say better value for money than the extreme. so only get the extreme if you want extreme lightweight pole and have the money for one.
Second I got my booster pump from purefreedom fully fitted cost about 600 quid but can fill 500ltrs in 1hour 30mins at 2ppm .

that first question does not make any sence, is the extrem better or not ?, slx is durable and more rugged, does this mean it is better, a light pole that is not rugged or durable just because it is lite does not make it a better pole, I dont have the extreme yet and would like to her your explination on why it is better than an slx which I have a couple of

do you work on your own james?if you do then i think your set up is overkill!!do you live in your van as well? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

no honestly mate good set up but do you really need all the brushes and poles? ;D ;D ;D

how much have you spent on that system including van/signwriting/poles etc?

£15,000?should last you years and years of window cleaning with not much outlay now!! ;) ;D ;D ;D


best wishes

Ok just to clarify.... The extreme pole is made of hi modulus carbon fibre, which means its more rigid and so much lighter than the slx which is just standard carbon fibre. However I seem to use the slx more because it just feels more robust... difficult to explain unless you have used both I guess. My advice is if you currently have the slx 25ft I wouldn't bother going for the extreme unless you have a chronic shoulder or back problem. I would defo recommend upgrading from a clx to an slx though.
Dazmond... Yes I do work on my own and admittedly I have prob overspent on gear over the years.....

Nothing wrong with having the best equipment on the market.it shows your customers that you care about your job and them.you are giving them the best service possible.
Most up to date equipment to make it easier.
If he didnt want to spend that much he wouldnt have,im sure he can afford it and thought out his decisions before he bought them.
Good on him i say  ;D

I wouldn't say my gear is the best out there??? Too be honest all the gear was leased or debt taken on to purchase it so I am not loaded either >:(
Cliff,  purefreedom will tell you make and model of their pump as they only do one anyway , not sure if I can see a number on it as its not that easy to get to .

No worries next time you take the trolley out can you have a butchers at model make if you could.
I want to see if i can source the pump any cheaper on the net.

James,if you work on your own wouldn't the 5KW hot box have been sufficient?The 9KW is more for a two man system.

The 5kw only produces warm water even for one person apparently so i thought if your paying this much then you may as well go for the 9kw to get real hot water for really dirty jobs .
Cliff, will check to see if their is a make n model num when I am in there next ;)

james,

i'm after some advice, this may sound daft, how do you flush your system? lol i have the same pure fredom RO set up, mine is in my garage as a static set up. I have been flushing it but not sure if i'm doing it right.

Any help??

I have the 5kw (1 man) version and I totally agree with that. Wish I had got a gas unit now instead.

Regarding the flushing
Mines pure freedom aswell you just open the red tap at the bottom of the ro all the way so it produces no pure water ,hence it all goes down the drain.You leave it like this for 10 mins twice a week before you fill your tank up.
Personally i would do this for 2 mins before you fill tank every time gets the tds down on your membrane before you put it through your di vessell.This would save the life of your resin and make it last longer.
