Spoke to PureFreedom, all sorted, happy with the price, I'll be off up there for a nights B&B with the missus and a walk along the seafront for a day in a month 

what did it cost you? as i'm looking for someone to fit mine? and they are not far from here.

For a 300 litre tank in a cage, fitted, pump + strainer + controller, battery incl of V.A.T £940.00.

My opinion is that as Adepta are an engineering firm by default rather than a waterfed pole supplier they'd be a better choice.

Get a bigger tank if you can.

Stupid comment

Stupid comment is it,when you keep running out of water at 1 o`clock will see won`t we.You need 500ltrs at LEAST if your doing 90% of your work WFP.Everyone i know that went in under 500ltrs wished they`d gone bigger but you know best.By the way how`s it going lol.

Are you using an RO with your system , or just DI vessels ?  What TDS reading do you have ?    ( I love these wfp terms lol )

I go out currently with 200 litres, I know how long that lasts, I therefore know how long 300 will last, and for me that'll be just fine.

If I needed more Id have bought a bigger van.

Its going fine thanks.

I have a static RO setup at home it runs through DI resin before going into the tanks I have here, from there it'll be pumped to the van.

Tap-water has a TDS of 275, about 10 after RO and somewhere from 0-2 after DI, depending on how old it is.

Makes me smile when ones on here give advice about your set up , and they dont even know your work  :

Exactly, arrogant prick.

I got a 650 liter tank and a few weeks back i filled to about 500 liter did 4 town houses, 5x 4 bedroom houses and and 3 x 4 bedroom houses with cons on and towards the end i started worrying i wasnt going to have enough water and because my system is all on my van i couldnt just pop home to fill, so i parked van on curb so water leaned to where the output is.

Flat-bed?

[jaykie]

Sorry matt not with you, do you mean tank if so its upright.

Chris

[xxmattyxx]

Yea I did mean the tank Chris. Ive heard someone else who has a flat-bed tank with similiar probs. Id have gone for a flat-bed but didnt want that to be happening.

No he means he was up a ladder last month but now he`s an expert,now there`s arrogance for you lol.

[xxmattyxx]

It doesnt take an expert to deduce how much longer 300 litres is going to last compared to 200.

No he means he was up a ladder last month but now he`s an expert,now there`s arrogance for you lol.

NWH, I make about £200 a day, and I use only 200-250l water.

Now you guess how I do that.....

He'll tell you that you skimp on the rinsing (now Ive said that he won't)  My 200 litres with my trolley produces approx the same income as you Tim. And I dont skimp on rinsing.

It will be interesting to know how much water you are using 6 months down the road.
I used 250 litres when i worked solely with trolley and now get through 400 by using the van mount. I don't knock out much extra work either but i do shave a substantial bit of time off my day before i run out of water.

[NWH]

You will work quicker with a vanmount than with a trolley or backpack because you have no problem with re filling or carting heavy things around,it`s nice to know in your mind that you will always have enough water and don`t need to panic about running out round the back of a house.

Funny you should say that because i worry more about if i have enough water in the tank to do another job with the van mount when the trolley isn't on board. Which is rare.
The trouble with van mount is that i wil get halfway through a job and the water will stop pumping even though there is a good 50 litres + in the tank. I have a sub pump in the tank to fill a container for the trolley and that will clear up almost all of the water in comparison. I use the trolley quite alot but it's main job now is for emergencies, so i can finish the job off if need be.

Where is it possible to buy a pressurised water tank?
Something to stop the nonsense of having to park on a slope to use 100% of the water i carry. I don't see the point in carrying what i can't use. Especially with fuel prices as they are/ will be!!

Has anyone been able to overcome this problem with flat tanks?
