what will I need for wfp?
« on: August 09, 2007, 07:36:26 pm »
Hi guys,

Just wondering about water fed as I'm really keen on getting going as soon as possible now. I was thinking of getting a backpack to get started as advised by you guys! Anyway just to make sure and give me a check list of things I need I'll list what I think I need and if I miss anything just let me know.

IBC Tank (Purchased)
Backpack
Pole (was thinking about 30'?)
Ro system 100 gpd
DI resin and vessel
TDS Meter

Think this is all I'm aware of that I need if there is anything else let me know. If anyone knows were I can get any of these nearly new or secondhand that would help me get going even faster.

Cheers guys, you have given me the bug now help me get going.  :)

I'm like you myself, I've used them in the past but someone else used to do the tech stuff with the systems and if it was me that was using it that day he would drop it off in the morning and take my van which had trad gear in the back and ladders on the roof rack. Now I'm running my own show I don't get that type of service and have to pay for everything myself.

Luke,

Your a genius! Probably cost buttons and are worth every penny and more! That makes me wonder does anyone wear Hi Viz Vests whilst using water fed poles?

oh colley, a hozelock style on/off to fit onto the backpack wand, that will save you loads of water!and a trolley with some bungee cords incase you find the backpack too much at the end of the day or just in general, luke

look at this colley, a real nice little trolley

I have used wfp to clean my house 3 times now and to do a conservetorie with a customers tap, I think its going to be great, can't wait, I've been delayed because the brake pads went on our van then the garages brake tester broke, so missed my fitting appointment! Luke
