I have begun searching the archives and the main thing that is worrying me is the equipment I will need for purifying the water, that means I will need an RO unit thingie I think? Where do you wfp - users house your RO units? This might be a problem for me as I dont have a garage or a shed even, never mind a water supply going into the non existent shed/garage?
My thinking is that I would use a backpack on some awkward jobs. I fell off my ladder a couple of weeks ago and it shook me up a bit and from now on would rather avoid any 'problem' climbs on the ladder but I am thinking the combined cost of setting a abck pack up could spiral beyond my means.
Having said that having a wfp option would really open up the customer base because the amount of houses in my area that have awkward or impossible windows due to conservatories and housing design could make it well worth the investment.
At the minute I just use a little Punto to carry my ladder and gear, would I need to be thinking of ecven a small van with a backpack and a supply of water?
You could install a small ro system under your sink, and feed it to a storage tank, ie 200ltr rain water butt from B&Q around £30,
failing that you could see if any of the guy's on here live near you, I'm sure they would sell you some of there pure water.
After the fall from your ladder I would bite the bullet and buy a new backpack, (there hard to pick up second hand) You can may-be buy a second hand pole from of the forum, there is sometimes a few for sale.
There are guy's who use there cars for wfp and put 25ltr containers in there, but don't forget you have to have room to store your pole. on a roof rack for instance.
If money is tight pop onto Matts Diy site and you can build your own system with there help for less than £500.
