[T. A. Cleaning]

Hello All,

I'm in the market for a WFP System... Any recommendations?

I'll be using it for domestic and light commercial work.

Thanks.

TA Cleaning,

I've recently been through the same thinking process as yourself.

My factors were:

     Budget (a tight one)

     The type of work I have.

My round is 95% estate residential, many with difficult access to the rear, and to the front in some places too.

I think a van mounted system would be too large for my type of work, and I'd be forever moving it down a street and possibly I would have parking problems too.  I don't have the funds to get a van anyway!

Therefore I needed a versatile WFP system; so I chose a backpack.  I also have a 50 litre trolley system (as yet unused) and my water carrying capacity isn't good.

So the next step to get a tow bar and trailer.  Wor Lass will use what-ever system she can manage; I'll use the other and hopefully we'll both go full-time WFP within a few months.

At present I plan to do 'tops only', with Wor Lass doing the ground floor traditionally and on days when Wor Lass doesn't work, I estimate I should be to carry another 200 liters with me (joke - please don't tell her).

Oh, I'm also banned from talking WFP stuff in the house.  She says I'm doing her head in.

My wife thinks WFP is a Government secret agency that I am in communication with!
She still thinks a w/c is a toilet!
It's all hush hush, I tell her

It's all "flush flush" then really

Back to the question - my round is about 25% commercial 2 floor (but highish two floor if you get my drift) and 75% Domestic of which half is estates and half is a village with outlying detached properties of two and three floors. (Old farms with dormer windows are the 3rd floor's typically)

I use Peter Fogwills trolley (Broxburn) system which came with a 200gpd r/o, a cheap light aluminium unger pole (I only use the top 3 or 4 sections) and which carries one or two 25 litre containers. I carry between 6 and 8 x 25 litre drums in the estate car and use the pole for about 80% of my 1st floor and 100% of my  2nd floor work although on ground floor patio doors and entrance ways I tend to go traditional to save water if I'm running low later in the day.

Wfp opens up possibilities and I am thinking along two lines - large detached houses with newer georgian or leaded windows and a bit more commercial.

If I get more 2nd floor (thats 3 including the ground floor) I will get a better pole as this one's a bit whippy (though good for bending over edwardian  conservatory roofs to get to floor above) at height.

Next year a trailer for increased water capacity is a probable "next step".
