When I went over to water fed pole, I was aware that mechanical things were involved. So as before I kept a stock of detergent and squeegee rubbers and the like. I now have two pumps on the van one for backup, also spare brushes heads and all connectors. I’m glad as I have had a pump fail and it took 3 days to get a replacement. So don’t get caught out, you don’t get paid for down time.

Totally agree, i think i now have spares on everything. Except a 30 ft pole.

thats true..and what I intend to do now...just a question of sourcing all the individual parts direct...or as near as possible...try and cut out the middle man.....would be nice to have a rack of spares in the unit.

[Ian_Giles]

All very true, I in fact have a rack of 'spare'
I must add to it, but if my pump dies then that is the one 'spare' I do have

In fact I wish I had a spare inner tube for my trolley wheel, was pumping it up and ended out tearing the valve away
Darn it I need the trolley tomorrow too, and for a house that will be done before the local cycle shop opens
Bah

Is there any milage in some kind of coordinated buyers club, combined with an insurance scheme?. A spare pump for example or 24ft. pole is a big chunk of money tied up,just in case, but £10 or £20  per month for an over-night replacement service sounds good to me.
You might ask who would want to coordinated such a thing, but if it meant that I could negotiate much better deals for my benifit, then I would.

My aquatec trolley has solid tyres, but I've used tyre-weld (or flat-mate) - same sort of stuff - loads of times in my car(s) and it will easily pump up trolley tyres - just don't over-fill it!

Modified to add - sorry - I didn't notice you said you tore the valve away - that might be beyond its capabilities!

[Ian_Giles]

Mmm, a ripped out valve is proper punctured
Mine is an Aquatic trolley too.....as you may have gathered, the tyres aren't solid on mine

 ...should get loads of mileage out of those then......
