Imagine your trolley but instead of a 25litre barrel you have a 650 litre tank...
And in between pump and your pole you have a hose reel so instead of pulling a trolley around you pull your hose


Put that in a van - van mount


As regards to filling your van tank with pure, its in my last post further up the page
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

No probs at all.... your advice is very much appreciated and I will probably be posting on a lot more when I take the plunge.... Silly question but how easy is it to transfer van mounts if you change vehicles? If I get an older van and then want to upgrade say in 2-3 years which I will... prob start with a 2.500 van and then if business gets better in a few years then get a really nice one... Perhaps better to wait until then?

I guess I feel abit scared going straight to van mount and I thought if I went trolley first it would get me used to it... does that make sense?

I know what you mean but the the important bit you need to get used to is cleaning the windows with the brush and pole! lugging barrells around and or trolly/backpack is nackering and time consuming you only realise this when you go vanmount.

Another preconception you may have is its more exspensive to go van mount..it isnt.

And as for exspensive vans my last two were berlingos around a grand. and my current van was only £2k

My set up at home is and has been near enough for 6yrs I produce my pure water into a 300ltr water butt which to fill with an RO may take about 8hrs to produce 300ltrs .

To transfer from water butt to van tank using a Submersible pump which you can buy from Toolstation for about £35:00 then you need some transfer hose depends how close you can park to your house .

You may be better off finding someone near you who has been WFP for a while who can talk you through everything so you are 100% certain of your decision . Mike

Thanks again for advice guys... robertphil email... davidmichael777@hotmail.co.uk

So this daqua system flat tank(whatever that means)should do it but I need a ro unit for the harder water...

So once system is mounted,i'm assuming it's a lot of hassle to take out and put in new vehicle?

Now I have to decide on van for the 350 litre set up..... thinking combo,astra van or ford transit connect..

Any ideas?  Cleancare.. are you local? Could you perhaps show me the system for an hour one day or know of anyone in the Ipswich area?
