I like the idea of this and would be ok on compact work if you could get a water supply. looks like hes got a small wfp system and does trad too.

Would look better if it was one system or the other IMO, could look good with sign written panels

I'm DI only and reckon a 50 tank, DI vessel pump & battery would do, with a 22' pole, hose to top up, 30m of microbore

just need to flatten the hills round my way first   :o

I rememmber the guys on bikes from bristol too from a couple of years ago - does anyone from there ever see them?

Great idea.

Did anyone see dragons den a few years back where they made a push bike for 3rd world countries to make clean water for them. It basically had 2 tanks, youd fill with dirty water, it had a RO system or some kind of filteration and your peddling would clean the water whilst riding. I thought would be great for us.

This is all i could find

if it was me id just have one double ladder and a trad pole,bucket,scrims and squeegees.sod biking it with a wfp system on board! ;D ;D ;D

i lost my licence and used to either get a lift or a taxi.i left ladders and other gear at customers houses.luckily for me most of my work was very compact.

it was a long hard 12 months.i wouldnt like to do it again.lessoned learned the hard way.

hopefully he s also learnt his lesson as well.

his round must be all over the place!!i spent a fortune on taxis getting to and from work but at least i was earning.
price higher/work harder!

I can't get the blooming quote thing to work is it knacked? any road up re the cycling and purification post from FireMatt see above....

that sounds very interesting is it just pumping up the water to 200 psi through the membrane do you think? that would be brilliant turbo trainer in the garage producing pure water from egg and chips! I may work on this if it reduces the waste water it would be fantastic!
