You will also need a water-butt, a platform to put it on (it'll need to be strong), an RO unit and at least five 25 litre barells.  A 100 to 125 litres of water should do you more than enough for 10 to 15 semis per day 'tops only'; in fact you'll probably only need about 75 litres (3 barrels), but you may end up doing more than just 'tops', so the extra capacity won't be wasted.

Click on the search function at the top of the forum page and have a look for back pack; there's loads of information about how to use them and what kit you require.

FFC, go for the back pack; trolley systems are naff, especially if you work from a car.  The Freedom is really heavy, and that's before you add 25 litres of water onto it.

Get a van-mount; or if you can't do that; a backpack. 

Trust me.

hi fcc

get a 100gpd ro from ro man, if your just starting out that should be fine

then plumb it in to your water supply,try to get 1000 ltr ibc<big water butt>

feed outlet from  ro to water butt

water butt to back pack or trolley , van mount

start cleaning windows,  

its that simple really

just clean your own windows first until you feel you have got it right

then unleash yourself onto your custys

mike

ps dont forget tds meter to test water
