Hi,

If you fill directly from our Reach & Wash system fitted with a 100 psi pump the working time will be between 30 - 40 minutes, you can fill while on the move from one job to the next filling should take less than 8 mins.

Kind regards

The "Cricket" is a trade name for our 50ltr trolley that uses a pressure vessel and so does not require a battery or pump. A cricket is a small insect that is very powerful for its size and that is the reason for the name. Unlike other trolley's available the "Cricket" comes with its own water filters.

so, you say it's pressurised then Craig....how does that work then ? do you have to put little gas cylinders in it like a sparklets soda syphon, or is it pressurised for the day from some machine ? How long  does it last once pressurised.....as in, until you run out of water (like a beer barrel )  or what ?
Sounds interesting anyway......

Duke,

Its simply the water pressure used to fill the pressure vessel. if you fill at 60psi the water will be stored at 60psi, there is a bladder inside that is compressed by the pressure of the water, when water is released to the pole for cleaning the blader expands and pushes the water out, simple.

oh ok...trust my imagination to over complicate things....makes me wonder why we (or at least I) use pumped systems with batteries that need charging etc......
