Would any of you chaps be happy to pay this? Is it worth it or not?

Sorry for keep going over the same ground but I'm really wanting to go into wfp and I'm looking for the most cost effective way

its decent kit at a fair price Go for it

You can upgrade later

Although the pole will last forever it won't be amazing

I still got a carbon facelift pole from about 15 years ago it keeps going

Then you can get nice Gardiner 35 SLX next year

I bought the backpack and pole deal off them last year and it's still going strong, however I saved a fair bit by getting a di vessel and the tds meter from eBay, shopped around for the resin and blagged half a dozen empty containers from a carwash.

Good plan

I spent too much on RO . ETC

If you spend high on anything invest in the pole

Pole and backpack were about 240, di was around 60ish and so was the resin. I had used wfp for a couple of years working for a firm using a van mount but this was enough to get me started on my own. I have other poles etc now but the backpack is still used daily.

excuse my ignorance but.....if I bought a backpack and pole from window cleaning warehouse, di vessel from ebay and resin from internet, would this be the cheapest way? also is that all I would need to start with?

Carbon SLX 22'....£239

DI Vessel 11l........£71

Yeah and some containers 25l

That's the easy bit

Converting your work and explaining to customers ... Now that is a ball ache

you sound like you had a hard time converting your customers,was it really that hard?

Don't forget a tds meter for testing your water!

 

[Taxlossloz]

My advice if it's a big round from trad to WFP -

Do sections at a time not all at once

Some houses perfect

Some will take months

Don't be afraid to get ladders off and check

Squeegee windows and patio doors where it's easy

You learn more when it goes wrong

And get spare battery !

He won't if he reads my list :rofl:

Some love it

Some are sticks in the mud

In some cases it's better trad
