Well this is the small trolley system that stands me under £150.

The trolley I begged off the next door neighbour.
Container free from sons works.
Pump off ebay from Gaz H2o £32.50.
Small pole and brush set up £75.
Battery £28 off ebay.
And there we have it, not the best looking set up in the world but it certainly does the job.

good on yer, just shows what you can do on a limited budget.

But its getting better every week, everytime I earn a bit I spend a bit more.
Ive got a 500 litre tank in the van for refills, but over the next few weeks I am going to invest in a pump system for the van so I can use one of the poles straight from the van.

Preston,

Your system probably does exactly the same job as some that cost ten times as much.

What's the psi of your pump and how do you control the flow?

[preston powerblast]

The pump is 40 psi and is switched I also have a sort of ball valve switch which I can turn up and down.
Its a very simple set up, but it is certainly doing the job ok. But once the ball valve is turned to closed the pump switches off automatically.

Nice one Gaz  ,it`s funny seeing my old pump,
im well pleased for you that you`ve got your set up working fine
like you said as you earn a bit more you can add on or upgrade thats exactly what i do and my system is so addaptable i can have my trolley with a 20/30 and a 60 litre tank and my van has 2 tanks so i can have 1 or 2 and take with me what i need rather than it being kept in there all the time,my minds constantly thinking about quickness and ease of use and i recon im reducing time on jobs and setting up day by day,Gaz

For the van mount you can just connect the pump to the interior rear light, cause its only 4 amp you wont even need a lesiure battery you. You might find the handles a bit low for everyday use, if you upgrade go for bigger wheels or pnematic ones- they go over gravel and up and down pavements better. I use bungee elastic a lot. And velcro ties are good as well.

Its all trial and error, and to be honest i am quite enjoying myself playing.
 its just a scaled down version to my power washing set up.
I have got a 550 litre tank in the back garden so I have always got water.
I have thought about getting a bigger pump on the trolley then I can just connect it up to the tank in the van if I want to use it that way.
This is only the prototype.
I might even fire up the mig welder next

does the job, so jobs a good un

the sack truck bit is from Argos, about 10 quid if my memory serves me right, i have 1 for carrying barrels around a comercail building i do, though i dont use it anymore, as i just use 1 of the low loader trolleys they have

[preston powerblast]

Its right, I scrounged it from the next doo neighbour

[H h20]

Here`s mine,the trolley is height adjustable so it can be put in the van with ease and then adjusted to working height when in use, it can have different size containers on and it can be laid down for the 60 litre tank,the only thing im changing on it is the battery box is being made at my mates fabrication place,the pump and battery also work the tank in the van along with 60m of 6mm hose,Gaz  

[preston powerblast]

What a good system that is.
Maybe in a couple of months I might go along those lines myself.
Cheers for that Gaz.

[preston powerblast]

Cheers for that Gaz, will get on to it next week.

[simbo]

looks good gaz,
i bought exact same one off ebay thurs after deciding against backpack thought i would mount pump the same and then use the rear frame to box in battery or power pack, also have a mesh frame fitted aroud the front to keep tanks secure, would look quite pro i think and as i am quite short the handle going down done it for me.if you don't mind i have questions
1 best size price supplier for pumps (northern tool look to be good also williamsons)
2 pole going for 24 foot to start cos we have lots of new 3 storey work here
3 is your trigger the only flow control device you need as have found one
4 best price etc for battery or would power pack be better
cheers mate simb0

[H h20]

Simbo,definatley www.williamsonpumps.com for your pump,go for the 100 psi
for your pole www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk
your battery go to a golf shop or on ebay i use a 28 amp hr,very neat and compact
 and you will need a charger for that kind of battery,it does work out dearer than a 12v powerpack but much better if you want it to look better
and the trigger i highly reccomend as you can turn your water on and off as you work,anymore info just ask,Gaz 

[steve k]

Gaz,
what water making set up do you have going on there?
where is water stored and could you explain how you have constructed the different trolley system stages explaining how the water if moved from the barrel to the brush head?
I see a number of connectors and pipes around your set up and it would be good to know how you have gone about setting this up...that is if you have time of course

Thanks

[H h20]

Bare with me it may take some time  ,Gaz

[H h20]

Right Steve here we go
My RO is a Merlin,it is connected from mains water my tap tds is 315 and the Merlin brings it down to 28 then it goes into the black tank (on pic) and then when i need water ready for my containers and van tank i pump it through my 29 litre resin cylinder using a 240v Flojet 60 psi pump and comes out 00
My water containers are just placed on the trolley and i use a length of plastic pipe pushed right down to the bottom and then use a length of hose from pipe to pump connected with hozelock connector,then if i need to put my 60 litre tank on i adjust the hight of the trolley and lay it down and put tank on and a similar method is used for pump connection like on the smaller container
i don`t know if you haven`t noticed where my pump is with you asking how water is pumped from tank to pole and brush if you look at the pics its between the handles on the trolley,
i hope you understand all of this and it`s been of any use,cheers,Gaz

[steve k]

great and thanks.
I really like the idea of moving my water making into my shed and whenever needed, just dropping a submersible pump into butts and filling van up in minutes.
I am also almost certain about to begin a trolley project

Steve if you do use a shed for your water filtering don`t forget to insulate it for winter, my set up is in my outhouse/laundry room so im ok and good luck with your trolley project,Gaz
