Hi guys i'm doing an average 3 bed house in about 45 mins at the moment with my pure freedom trolley. I'm finding taking the trolley and water out of van then back in again takes ages and as time is money am thinking about getting a tank in the van and working from the van.
Would this help me in speeding up and do any of you guys do it?
Finding it hard tiring work keep lugging out the 25 litre barrels and trolley every house.

I went:-

Ladders

Trolley from 6 x 25L barrels in car
Trolley from 4 x 25L barrels in car + 175L tank + microbore reel
Van plus 400L tank + microbore reel

A pair of 3 bed semi's with no bay windows - say 11 windows each

from ladders = 35 minutes the pair
from ladders inc frames = 45 minutes
wfp (inc frames) trolley =  45 minutes
wfp tank (inc frames) + microbore = 30 minutes

ive put a 400 L tank in the van, i fill it from the house, then i sub pump the water into my cart

it works well enough, does away with humping around 25 l barrels

Mr Sparkle Im a bit flumoxed as to why it takes you a long time to get your trolley out the back of your van and up and running. When I used a trolley and 25 litre barreks Id say from the time the rear doors were opened and the thing was setup about 30 seconds would have passed. By then Id be unreeling the hose and setting off.

What is it thats slowing you down?

I have found since going over to a van-mount things are even quicker, but the trolley was just great really as things go.

Van mounts are the quickest WFP setup IMO.

Have a van mount, trolley and a backpack....different jobs different delivery...each does the same job but in its on way...none of them is any better than the other..it a matter of horse for courses...

It all depends on your round and your ability to manage hoses. Some ppl just get too frustrated with the hose, trip, tangle in it,.. basically don't get on with it at all!

My personal experience is that a van mount saves me hours each week. An average 3 bed semi takes 20 minutes or so including setting up & packing away, and the hours saved in the evenings re-filling drums of water and hauling them into the van are an extra bonus. I find the van mount a lot easier physically too,.. lifting a trolley in and out of the van all day was hard work (Not as bad as ladders tho!),.. but pulling a hose is easy!

its winding it back that i dont like, and i only use 50mtrs max, for the odd house. i can have the trolley in the car and be off in no time.

[Nathanael Jones]

What type of hose do you use EZclean?

[EZclean]

microbore on the reel. i have a small autoretractable bolted on the trolley, but for the odd houses like lots of steps ill use the microbore. i hate using it.

what i need is an auto layering-electric reel. now that would be fast working
