I have helped a fair few on here (you know who you are ) so i thought why not do a little walk-through guide

a WFP system built for under 550 quid

what you waiting for

Oh and if you use others sites, spread the word so others can gain

[Ian Rochester]

Matt,

Just had a look at your system, very good, does the job and probably about half the price of a pre made up system.

[matt]

Cheers It does a cracking job, and your right, it is half the price of other systems

i should also say my thanks to peeps, jeff and Philip, cheers lads, you inspired me to have a go

Oh i am also working on a slightly different idea, Lewis the pics will be up when i have a spare few hours

well done matt the most simple explanation i've seen. at the end of the day(or brush) 000ppm is 000ppm why waste thousands, if thats all you need!

Thanks for that site Matt Its really useful. I wanted the rundown on the system for ages.
One question. The power pack you use is the jump starter, do you find this really noisy? My old man has one for his car and I need ear plugs. I suppose that a 12 volt battery would do the job.
Cheers

Seems good but what about crash testing that all of the big names have done?

[patch]

well done matt its refreshing to see some one not wanting any thing in return to share his/her knowledge

[Grafters Cleaning Services]

well done matt, i to have a diy system similar to what you describe, also well done on the forum

top site matt , I only started the leap over to the dark side yesterday and went into my local camping shop to get some 25lts contaners - came out with a 35ltr container on wheels that they use for sticking under caravans . got a rechargable power pack for £14.99 !! from Makro , thay have them on special for 2 weeks .

the powerpack sits on top nice .

when i see it had to have it LOL - just got to sort pump out etc etc then ready to rock

Well done Matt,
Very similar to the system I use, a lot cheaper too
I found the power pack fine for a couple of hours work a day, but had to change over to an 85ah leisure battery, recharges faster and lasts way longer in use, downside of course is that it is much heavier
But if your funds are tight, and you are reasonably practical, your site gives an excellent set of instructions and links to where you can purchase all that you need to make your own system.

i only do upstairs with it, and it last me from 8 till 5 ish, ive been using it for a while now and the battery is starting to struggle at about 4 ish, BUT as you say, just add a 12 Volt battery instead, ive been usnign mine for about 6 months now, and in my eyes, 40 quid for 6 months use, isnt that bad

[Simon Carter]

This is absolutely what I have been thinking about, the simplest, most easily & cheaply compiled WFP kit for the one man band residentially orientated operative. You have really helped me move forward in this respect.
I just have one thought & one question. How straight forward is it lifting the sack trucks with all the gubbins & the cans in & out of a standard salloon vehicle?. I'm thinking that if you had a 250 lt. tank in a trailor with a space to lift the sack trucks in & out of, might that not be preferable ?. If the tank had a pump attached, you could fill the can from the tank, thereby negating the need for more than one can. You could also have the RO attached to the tank & detatch the trailor from the car at the end of the day & wheel it to your out side tap to fill up over night. I appreciate this would add to the cost, but it would save on the users back & avoid wrecking what might be the families only means of transport.
Any comments?

[matt]

i have a estate car and this is how i do it

Sack truck on rear seats (ive lined the seat with a Dog / plastic cover) i allways remove the barrel, BUT you still sometimes get some water left in the pipes, thus the cover

water Barrels , 2 in the front passnger Footspace, 2 behind each of the front seats ---- total 150 L's of water

if you needed anymore water you could try them in the boot, BUT i just bung my bucket and kits in the boot

people will cry out "what about the weight on your car" well 150 L is 150KG the same as a fairly big bloke

job done

[matt]

If its ok with people, i will move the question over to the forum on the site, as then others can see them, afterall this thread will soon drop down the forum

[matt]

Seems good but what about crash testing that all of the big names have done?

a trolley system cannot be crash tested, as its not fixed

you could fit a strap to secure it though while in transit:)

i looked at the same type of thing but what put me off was the refill time, i prefered to just change the barrel over

but i did like the look of the waste water cart
