Special build put together by Ben Marriott based on a recommendation from Chris Scott.

14HP Briggs and Stratton 2100 series motor, Interpump EVO 3, on a BE style Dual Pumps trolley.

20LPM and 250 Bar!

Compact, height with handle removed 61cm, light weight, 55 Kilos ( both of these factors very important to me)

Images below plus before and after of the first job I did with it.

No Hypo needed, FSC then turbo.

The owner let me draw direct from the pool, 150000 litres to play with, two hours of pressure cleaning bliss!

[Mike Halliday]

Nice looking machine, good to see a quality filter, I hate those plastic ones that the thread always gets crossed.

How did you clean up to the pool edge with a FSC without the dirty water going into the pool?

[wpclean]

Only down side I can see is the exposed connection fittings, can't you get a bit of frame around them to protect from damage ?

[Ben Marriott]

Sadly not - this is the only frame on the market which matched the exact size asked for.....

Short of having a frame fabricated this was the only way to go with this size engine even with the small frame we were within 2cm of max height allowed.

If height were less of an issue this would have gone on the larger trolley been completely protected at the front but would have been 12cm higher

[Mike Halliday]

Why not fit it the other way round? Then you can also use the front grab handle.

Or...  Use the opposite outlets with 2  45degree elbows so the fittings are positioned above the pump not sticking out the front

[Ben Marriott]

If you put it on the other way around the weight is all over the front end and away from the wheels so on an uneven surface you risk tipping the machine up, the other issue with that is that when using the rear handle you would be able to catch your legs on the fittings etc

Providing you strap the contents of your van or trailer down all should be well - the front bars are not so much for protection as they are a lifting point as required by EU regulations.

The elbows would not be too bad on the outlet but an inlet should always be inline with the flow of water, corners / bends restrict flow and increase likely hood of cavitation later in the pumps working life. On a smaller pump a control set would have prevented the over hang but you loose the return to tank which was a requirement of the build.

It isn't the ideal way to do it but the constraint of the build was such that this was the only trolley to do the job and keep within the weight and height limit.

how much did it cost

[Darranvps]

Good piece of kit

Well done tony, I also like you took advise off Chris and bought from Rutland pumps, I chose to have mine built on a plate as opposed to trolley, either way does

Nice job

[Rob@Blast off]

Nice, should be picking my new machine up this week 

[Mike Halliday]

For the cost of 2 elbows I would still fit the inlet and uploader on the same side but running along side the pump rather than protruding out the front.

we said on a prevous topic about the supply potential of using a single inlet with 1inch hose, I don't think 1 elbow would cause any problems.

I wonder if the chlorinated water from the pool helped the clean.

If you can swim in it it is not strong enough to clean anything.

Incorrect, any oxygenating agent will assist in cleaning .
You can swim in washing up liquid if you like, that cleans grease well 😉

Thanks for pointing that out…but @0.5-1.5 ppm (mg/l) I doubt it has very little effect on the clean. I think it was the 250 bar that shifted the 5hit.

Couldn't take the FSC up to the edge as it had an upward lip on it ( just visible in the photo) so got as close as I could  and then finished the rest with the turbo.
The pool  had a floating cover on it so what residue there was ended up on that.

Got a block of foam which I've cut to fit around the unloader for transportation. Seems to be working fine.

Nice looking machine - I WANT ONE
