if your going for a trolley system, and i use mine from a estate car (dont even carry ladders now)

you could go DIY, build your own full whack system for about 500 quid

e.mail me for a link to a guide to build your own

I didn't go for a trolley in the end. I have a 125l tank in the back of a kangoo car.
Also I use a di bottle straight from a customers outside tap.

 I know this method isn't very popular on this board but it works for me as I have a very well established round where I can park up and do house after house for hours on end.

definitely ask to accompany someone to let them show you the ropes.

Hope this helps

Good evening everyone,

The Ionics Cricket will be of little use to someone in a hard water area, due to the depletion of the resin in it. I have seen this in operation and although it does what it says on the packet, warning bells ring out on the actual running costs for replacement filters etc. It would also be too big to fit in a car, unless it was an estate car with the rear seats down.

I would happily use the DI vessel only route if my customers were in a very soft water area but I see you are SW London David. It will cost you a small fortune in resin to do any decent amount of work.

Your car is also a rather small one to work effectively with any decent amount of water on board. For what it's worth as I see it your 2 best options are either a small trailer system or probably better still a back pack. The one good thing about a back pack is that you will always find it usefull even if you move up to more capable kit. It's a real entry level way of getting into WFP without breaking the bank and you will be able to use one from your present car.. Don't go getting too deep into the technicalities of how WFP works or you will just get confused.  Honestly  find a mate who uses WFP or ask here for someone local to you and go out and work in the real world with one for a day and you will get a very good idea of what will suit you and see how it works.

Hiya Everyone.

I was about to buy a 50 LITRE CRICKET TROLLEY for about £729.95.

The only problem is I was not keen on buying it without trying it out to see if it was any good so I ask the compamy out of the catalogue if I can go up to see them and try 50 LITRE CRICKET TROLLEY or have a day training course before I buy.

Because I have a lot of questions to ask and don't feel comfortable spending that kind of money without seeing it first.

Do any of you guys have a suggestion what should I do? I really want to get myself a wfp trolley.

I am based in S W london if anyone out there have a wfp trolley and feel kind enough to show me your wfp trolley I  would be grateful but anyone out there in the uk got suggestion.

 Thank Dave


As others have said, the Cricket uses a DI unit which would be very expensive to run in a hard water area.
However, there may be another issue.  I am going by memory here so it's possible that I'm confusing the Cricket with another brand of trolley.  I think that the Cricket may be dependent on having access to an outside tap to give it the necessary pressure.  If you are in a hospipe ban/drought order affected area, it may count as being an appliance that is directly connected to the mains and therefore illegal to use currently or possibly in the near future.  As I say, I may be confusing the Cricket with something else so you would need to check this out first but either way, that resin would cost a small fortune to run it.

If you are in london then you have hard water, as mentione by previous posts DI will empty your wallet quickly as running at about 350ppm of TDS whic your water will be will use anout 1 litre of resin for every 150 litres of produced water. If you did buy the Cricket this would mean a £56.60 filter change every 1500 to 2000 litres of water. (average use is 200 to 300 litres per day).

In your situation I would opt for a small RO, a medium sized sorage tank at home and then a small portable trolly with tanks that will fit in your car.

There is a slight safety issue with loads of 25ltr tanks in the back of your
they need to be secure

only stating the obvious
